<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The TQMap class is a value-based template class that
provides a dictionary.
<p>
<p> TQMap is a TQt implementation of an STL-like map container. It can
be used in your application if the standard <tt>map</tt> is not
available on all your target platforms. TQMap is part of the <a href="qtl.html">TQt Template Library</a>.
<p> TQMap<Key, Data> defines a template instance to create a
dictionary with keys of type Key and values of type Data. TQMap
does not store pointers to the members of the map; instead, it
holds a copy of every member. For this reason, TQMap is
value-based, whereas <a href="qptrlist.html">TQPtrList</a> and <a href="qdict.html">TQDict</a> are pointer-based.
<p> TQMap contains and manages a collection of objects of type Data
with associated key values of type Key and provides iterators that
allow the contained objects to be addressed. TQMap owns the
contained items.
<p> Some classes cannot be used within a TQMap. For example everything
derived from <a href="qobject.html">TQObject</a> and thus all classes that implement widgets.
Only values can be used in a TQMap. To qualify as a value, the
class must provide
<p> <ul>
<li> A copy constructor
<li> An assignment operator
<li> A default constructor, i.e. a constructor that does not take
any arguments.
</ul>
<p> Note that C++ defaults to field-by-field assignment operators and
copy constructors if no explicit version is supplied. In many
cases, this is sufficient.
<p> The class used for the key retquires that the <tt>operator<</tt> is
implemented to define ordering of the keys.
<p> TQMap's function naming is consistent with the other TQt classes
(e.g., <a href="#count">count</a>(), <a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>()). TQMap also provides extra functions for
compatibility with STL algorithms, such as <a href="#size">size</a>() and <a href="#empty">empty</a>().
Programmers already familiar with the STL <tt>map</tt> can use these
the STL-like functions if preferred.
<p> Example:
<a name="qmap-eg"></a>
<pre>
#include <<a href="qstring-h.html">qstring.h</a>>
#include <<a href="qmap-h.html">qmap.h</a>>
#include <<a href="qstring-h.html">qstring.h</a>>
class Employee
{
public:
Employee(): sn(0) {}
Employee( const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a>& forename, const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a>& surname, int salary )
: fn(forename), sn(surname), sal(salary)
{ }
<a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> forename() const { return fn; }
<a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> surname() const { return sn; }
int salary() const { return sal; }
void setSalary( int salary ) { sal = salary; }
private:
<a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> fn;
<a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> sn;
int sal;
};
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
<a href="qapplication.html">TQApplication</a> app( argc, argv );
typedef TQMap<TQString, Employee> EmployeeMap;
EmployeeMap map;
map["JD001"] = Employee("John", "Doe", 50000);
map["JW002"] = Employee("Jane", "Williams", 80000);
map["TJ001"] = Employee("Tom", "Jones", 60000);
Employee sasha( "Sasha", "Hind", 50000 );
map["SH001"] = sasha;
sasha.setSalary( 40000 );
EmployeeMap::<a href="#Iterator">Iterator</a> it;
for ( it = map.begin(); it != map.end(); ++it ) {
printf( "%s: %s, %s earns %d\n",
it.key().latin1(),
it.data().surname().latin1(),
it.data().forename().latin1(),
it.data().salary() );
}
return 0;
}
</pre>
<p> Program output:
<pre>
JD001: Doe, John earns 50000
JW002: Williams, Jane earns 80000
SH001: Hind, Sasha earns 50000
TJ001: Jones, Tom earns 60000
</pre>
<p> The latest changes to Sasha's salary did not affect the value in
the list because the map created a copy of Sasha's entry. In
addition, notice that the items are sorted alphabetically (by key)
when iterating over the map.
<p> There are several ways to find items in a map. The <a href="#begin">begin</a>() and
<a href="#end">end</a>() functions return iterators to the beginning and end of the
map. The advantage of using an iterator is that you can move
forward or backward by incrementing/decrementing the iterator.
The iterator returned by end() points to the element which is one
past the last element in the container. The past-the-end iterator
is still associated with the map it belongs to, however it is <em>not</em> dereferenceable; <a href="qsize.html#operator*-4">operator*</a>() will not return a well-defined
value. If the map is empty, the iterator returned by begin() will
equal the iterator returned by end().
<p> Another way to find an element in the map is by using the <a href="#find">find</a>()
function. This returns an iterator pointing to the desired item or
to the end() iterator if no such element exists.
<p> Another approach uses the operator[]. But be warned: if the map
does not contain an entry for the element you are looking for,
operator[] inserts a default value. If you do not know that the
element you are searching for is really in the list, you should
not use operator[]. The following example illustrates this:
<p> <pre>
TQMap<TQString,TQString> map;
map["Clinton"] = "Bill";
str << map["Clinton"] << map["Bush"] << endl;
</pre>
<p> The code fragment will print out "Clinton", "". Since the value
associated with the "Bush" key did not exist, the map inserted a
default value (in this case, an empty string). If you are not
sure whether a certain element is in the map, you should use
find() and iterators instead.
<p> If you just want to know whether a certain key is contained in the
map, use the <a href="#contains">contains</a>() function. In addition, <a href="#count">count</a>() tells you
how many keys are in the map.
<p> It is safe to have multiple iterators at the same time. If some
member of the map is removed, only iterators pointing to the
removed member become invalid; inserting in the map does not
invalidate any iterators.
<p> Since TQMap is value-based, there is no need to be concerned about
deleting items in the map. The map holds its own copies and will
free them if the corresponding member or the map itself is
deleted.
<p> TQMap is <a href="shclass.html#implicitly-shared">implicitly shared</a>. This means you can just make copies of
the map in time O(1). If multiple TQMap instances share the same
data and one is modifying the map's data, this modifying instance
makes a copy and modifies its private copy: so it does not affect
other instances. If a TQMap is being used in a multi-threaded
program, you must protect all access to the map. See <a href="qmutex.html">TQMutex</a>.
<p> There are a couple of ways of inserting new items into the map.
One uses the <a href="#insert">insert</a>() method; the other uses operator[]:
<pre>
TQMap<TQString, TQString> map;
map["Clinton"] = "Bill";
map.<a href="#insert">insert</a>( "Bush", "George" );
</pre>
<p> Items can also be removed from the map in several ways. One way is
to pass an iterator to <a href="#remove">remove</a>(). Another way is to pass a key
value to remove(), which will delete the entry with the requested
key. In addition you can clear the entire map using the <a href="#clear">clear</a>()
method.

<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQMap"></a>TQMap::TQMap ()
</h3>
<p> Constructs an empty map.
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQMap-2"></a>TQMap::TQMap ( const <a href="qmap.html">TQMap</a><Key, T> & m )
</h3>
<p> Constructs a copy of <em>m</em>.
<p> This operation costs O(1) time because TQMap is <a href="shclass.html#implicitly-shared">implicitly shared</a>.
This makes returning a TQMap from a function very fast. If a shared
instance is modified, it will be copied (copy-on-write), and this
takes O(n) time.
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQMap-3"></a>TQMap::TQMap ( const std::map<Key, T> & m )
</h3>
<p> Constructs a copy of <em>m</em>.
<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQMap"></a>TQMap::~TQMap ()
</h3>
<p> Destroys the map. References to the values in the map and all
iterators of this map become invalidated. Since TQMap is highly
tuned for performance you won't see warnings if you use invalid
iterators, because it is not possible for an iterator to check
whether it is valid or not.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qmap.html#iterator">iterator</a> <a name="begin"></a>TQMap::begin ()
</h3>
<p> Returns an iterator pointing to the first element in the map. This
iterator equals <a href="#end">end</a>() if the map is empty.
<p> The items in the map are traversed in the order defined by
operator<(Key, Key).
<p> <p>See also <a href="#end">end</a>() and <a href="qmapiterator.html">TQMapIterator</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qmap.html#const_iterator">const_iterator</a> <a name="begin-2"></a>TQMap::begin () const
</h3>
<p> This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#end">end</a>() and <a href="qmapconstiterator.html">TQMapConstIterator</a>.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="clear"></a>TQMap::clear ()
</h3>
<p> Removes all items from the map.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#remove">remove</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qmap.html#const_iterator">const_iterator</a> <a name="constBegin"></a>TQMap::constBegin () const
</h3>
<p> Returns an iterator pointing to the first element in the map. This
iterator equals <a href="#end">end</a>() if the map is empty.
<p> The items in the map are traversed in the order defined by
operator<(Key, Key).
<p> <p>See also <a href="#constEnd">constEnd</a>() and <a href="qmapconstiterator.html">TQMapConstIterator</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qmap.html#const_iterator">const_iterator</a> <a name="constEnd"></a>TQMap::constEnd () const
</h3>
<p> The iterator returned by <a href="#end">end</a>() points to the element which is one
past the last element in the container. The past-the-end iterator
is still associated with the map it belongs to, but it is <em>not</em>
dereferenceable; <a href="qsize.html#operator*-4">operator*</a>() will not return a well-defined value.
<p> This iterator equals <a href="#constBegin">constBegin</a>() if the map is empty.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#constBegin">constBegin</a>() and <a href="qmapconstiterator.html">TQMapConstIterator</a>.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="contains"></a>TQMap::contains ( const Key & k ) const
</h3>
<p> Returns TRUE if the map contains an item with key <em>k</em>; otherwise
returns FALSE.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qmap.html#size_type">size_type</a> <a name="count"></a>TQMap::count ( const <a href="qmap.html#key_type">key_type</a> & k ) const
</h3>
<p> Returns the number of items whose key is <em>k</em>. Since TQMap does not
allow duplicate keys, the return value is always 0 or 1.
<p> This function is provided for STL compatibility.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qmap.html#size_type">size_type</a> <a name="count-2"></a>TQMap::count () const
</h3>
<p> This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Returns the number of items in the map.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="detach"></a>TQMap::detach ()<tt> [protected]</tt>
</h3>
<p> If the map does not share its data with another TQMap instance,
nothing happens; otherwise the function creates a new copy of this
map and detaches from the shared one. This function is called
whenever the map is modified. The <a href="shclass.html#implicit-sharing">implicit sharing</a> mechanism is
implemented this way.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="empty"></a>TQMap::empty () const
</h3>
<p> Returns TRUE if the map contains no items; otherwise returns
FALSE.
<p> This function is provided for STL compatibility. It is equivalent
to <a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>().
<p> <p>See also <a href="#size">size</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qmap.html#iterator">iterator</a> <a name="end"></a>TQMap::end ()
</h3>
<p> The iterator returned by <a href="#end">end</a>() points to the element which is one
past the last element in the container. The past-the-end iterator
is still associated with the map it belongs to, but it is <em>not</em>
dereferenceable; <a href="qsize.html#operator*-4">operator*</a>() will not return a well-defined value.
<p> This iterator equals <a href="#begin">begin</a>() if the map is empty.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#begin">begin</a>() and <a href="qmapiterator.html">TQMapIterator</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qmap.html#const_iterator">const_iterator</a> <a name="end-2"></a>TQMap::end () const
</h3>
<p> This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p>
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="erase"></a>TQMap::erase ( <a href="qmap.html#iterator">iterator</a> it )
</h3>
<p> Removes the item associated with the iterator <em>it</em> from the map.
<p> This function is provided for STL compatibility. It is equivalent
to <a href="#remove">remove</a>().
<p> <p>See also <a href="#clear">clear</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="erase-2"></a>TQMap::erase ( const <a href="qmap.html#key_type">key_type</a> & k )
</h3>
<p> This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Removes the item with the key <em>k</em> from the map.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qmap.html#iterator">iterator</a> <a name="find"></a>TQMap::find ( const Key & k )
</h3>
<p> Returns an iterator pointing to the element with key <em>k</em> in the
map.
<p> Returns <a href="#end">end</a>() if no key matched.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qmapiterator.html">TQMapIterator</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qmap.html#const_iterator">const_iterator</a> <a name="find-2"></a>TQMap::find ( const Key & k ) const
</h3>
<p> This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Returns an iterator pointing to the element with key <em>k</em> in the
map.
<p> Returns <a href="#end">end</a>() if no key matched.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qmapconstiterator.html">TQMapConstIterator</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qmap.html#iterator">iterator</a> <a name="insert"></a>TQMap::insert ( const Key & key, const T & value, bool overwrite = TRUE )
</h3>
<p> Inserts a new item with the key, <em>key</em>, and a value of <em>value</em>.
If there is already an item whose key is <em>key</em>, that item's value
is replaced with <em>value</em>, unless <em>overwrite</em> is FALSE (it is
TRUE by default). In this case an iterator to this item is
returned, else an iterator to the new item is returned.
<p>
<h3 class=fn><a href="qpair.html">TQPair</a><iterator, bool> <a name="insert-2"></a>TQMap::insert ( const <a href="qmap.html#value_type">value_type</a> & x )
</h3>
<p> This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Inserts the (key, value) pair <em>x</em> into the map. <em>x</em> is a <a href="qpair.html">TQPair</a>
whose <tt>first</tt> element is a key to be inserted and whose <tt>second</tt>
element is the associated value to be inserted. Returns a pair
whose <tt>first</tt> element is an iterator pointing to the inserted
item and whose <tt>second</tt> element is a bool indicating TRUE if <em>x</em>
was inserted and FALSE if it was not inserted, e.g. because it was
already present.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#replace">replace</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isEmpty"></a>TQMap::isEmpty () const
</h3>
<p> Returns TRUE if the map contains no items; otherwise returns
FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#count">count</a>().

</h3>
<p> Returns a list of all the keys in the map, in order.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qmap.html">TQMap</a><Key, T> & <a name="operator-eq"></a>TQMap::operator= ( const <a href="qmap.html">TQMap</a><Key, T> & m )
</h3>
<p> Assigns <em>m</em> to this map and returns a reference to this map.
<p> All iterators of the current map become invalidated by this
operation. The cost of such an assignment is O(1), because TQMap is
<a href="shclass.html#implicitly-shared">implicitly shared</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qmap.html">TQMap</a><Key, T> & <a name="operator-eq-2"></a>TQMap::operator= ( const std::map<Key, T> & m )
</h3>
<p> This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

<p> All iterators of the current map become invalidated by this
operation.
<h3 class=fn>T & <a name="operator[]"></a>TQMap::operator[] ( const Key & k )
</h3>
<p> Returns the value associated with the key <em>k</em>. If no such key is
present, an empty item is inserted with this key and a reference
to the empty item is returned.
<p> You can use this operator both for reading and writing:
<pre>
TQMap<TQString, TQString> map;
map["Clinton"] = "Bill";
stream << map["Clinton"];
</pre>
<h3 class=fn>const T & <a name="operator[]-2"></a>TQMap::operator[] ( const Key & k ) const
</h3>
<p> This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> <b>Warning:</b> This function differs from the non-const version of the
same function. It will <em>not</em> insert an empty value if the key <em>k</em> does not exist. This may lead to logic errors in your program.
You should check if the element exists before calling this
function.
<p> Returns the value associated with the key <em>k</em>. If no such key is
present, a reference to an empty item is returned.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="remove"></a>TQMap::remove ( <a href="qmap.html#iterator">iterator</a> it )
</h3>
<p> Removes the item associated with the iterator <em>it</em> from the map.
