Member Function Documentation

template<class T_> virtual void Collection< T_ >::clear (  void    )  [pure virtual]

Clear contents of the collection. Behaviour is dependend on auto deletion flag. If auto deletion is enabled, the memory occupied by the items in the collection will be freed; otherwise it will be preserved. See also: setAudoDelete() Implemented in HashTable.

template<class T_> virtual size_t Collection< T_ >::count (  void    )  [inline, virtual]

Return the number of items in the collection. Returns: Number of items. Definition at line 60 of file collection.h.

template<class T_> virtual bool Collection< T_ >::isEmpty (  void    )  [inline, virtual]

Test whether the collection is empty. Return values: true  Collection is empty. false  Collection isn't empty. Definition at line 68 of file collection.h. Referenced by ElementModelEntropyCalculator::calculate, and main.

template<class T_> virtual void Collection< T_ >::setAutoDelete (  bool    ad )  [inline, virtual]

Set auto delete flag. If auto deletion is enabled, the memory occupied by the items in the collection will be freed when they are removed from the collection; otherwise they will be preserved. Auto deletion is implicitly disabled. Parameters: ad  Turn on/off auto deletion (true/false). Reimplemented in HashTable. Definition at line 79 of file collection.h. Referenced by ElementModelEntropyCalculator::calculate.
