KeyMapperElementType, SubelementType Class

public abstract class KeyMapper<ElementType, SubelementType>

Public MustInherit Class KeyMapper(Of ElementType, SubelementType)

Dim instance As KeyMapper(Of ElementType, SubelementType)

Type Parameters

ElementType

Type of elements. Elements are constructed out of any number of subelements

SubelementType

Type of subelements

The KeyMapperElementType, SubelementType type exposes the following members.

	Name	Description
	KeyMapperElementType, SubelementType	Construct key mapper [ILNumerics Core Module]

	Name	Description
	NumberOfKeys	Maximum number of keys (different subitems) [ILNumerics Core Module]

	Name	Description
	GetSubelement	Get subelement from element item [ILNumerics Core Module]
	Map(SubelementType)	Maps subelement types to bucket index [ILNumerics Core Module]
	Map(ElementType, Int32, Int32)	Map subelemt - provide fallback on error [ILNumerics Core Module]
	SubelementsCount	Count subelements in an element [ILNumerics Core Module]

Examples of sortable classes: colors: number/type of subelements: 1/any (e.g. the color code). One should write a ILKeyMapper<Color,int>.strings: number/type of subelements: arbitrary/char. Here a sample ILASCIKeyMapper implementation exists already. This implementation is the default implementation used for bucket sort via ILMath.sort().trees: number/type of subelements: arbitrary/tree nodes. One should write a key mapper to map a node of a tree to a bucket number...
