5. Numeric Type Collections - BitVec, DblVec, FltVec, IntDict, DblDict, IntHash, IntVHash, IntQue, IntVec

CEETRON SAM provides modules for managing collections of numeric data types. The BitVec module provides a vector of bits which are useful as an extensible set of Boolean flags. The DblVec, FltVec and IntVec are similar modules for double precision, single precision and signed integer data types. The IntDict, IntHash and IntVHash modules store integer data with keys similar to the manner in which the Dictionary and HashTable modules store objects. The IntQue module stores integer data with first-in, first-out access.

5.1. Bit Vectors - BitVec

The BitVec module is designed to hold an arbitrarily large, extensible series of bits. The module functions allow the user to set and query individual bits in the vector. Additional functions provide for various boolean operations between vectors, iterating through the vector, etc. The BitVec module is intended for managing a set of Boolean values in a compact form.

Instance a BitVec object using vsy_BitVecBegin(). Once a BitVec object is instanced, an approximate number of bits to be stored may be defined using vsy_BitVecDef(). This allocates an internal array for the storage of bit values. As bit values are set the BitVec module will adjust memory as required. The actual maximum index set or defined may be determined by calling vsy_BitVecInq(). The individual bits of a bit vector are addressed by an index which is greater than or equal to zero. The validity of the zero index may be toggled using vsy_BitVecSetParami().

Bit values are initially zero. Bit values may be set by calling vsy_BitVecSet(). A bit value may be returned for a given index using vsy_BitVecGet(). The total number of one bits contained in the bit vector may be found by calling vsy_BitVecCount(). The complement of a bit vector may be performed using vsy_BitVecComplement(). Boolean operations between two bit vectors are performed using vsy_BitVecBoolean().

The index of each one bit in the vector may be returned with an “iterator” construct. The pair of methods vsy_BitVecInitIter() and vsy_BitVecNextIter() are used to visit each one bit using a loop. Call the first method before the body of the loop to prepare the BitVec object for the iteration. Within the loop body, call vsy_BitVecNextIter(). It will return the index to the next one bit each time it is called. It will return an index of -1 when all of the one bits have been processed.

5.2. Function Descriptions

The currently available BitVec functions are described in detail in this section.

vsy_BitVec *vsy_BitVecBegin(void)

5.3. Real Vectors (single FltVec) - DblVec

The DblVec module is designed to hold an arbitrarily large, extensible series of double precision numbers. The FltVec module is identical to the DblVec object except that it holds a series of single precision numbers. In the documentation which follows only the DblVec functions will be described. The corresponding FltVec functions may be obtained by substituting FltVec for DblVec and Vfloat for Vdouble argument types. The module functions allow the user to set and query individual double precision numbers in a vector using an integer index key. The double precision numbers are guaranteed to be contiguous in memory with respect to the integer index key.

Instance a DblVec object using vsy_DblVecBegin(). Once a DblVec object is instanced, an approximate number of doubles to be stored may be defined using vsy_DblVecDef(). This allocates an internal array for the storage of double precision values. As double values are set the DblVec module will adjust memory as required. The actual maximum index referenced or defined may be determined by calling vsy_DblVecInq(). The individual doubles are addressed by an index which is greater than or equal to zero. The validity of the zero index may be toggled using vsy_DblVecSetParami().

Double values are initially zero. Double values may be set by calling vsy_DblVecSet(). A double value may be returned for a given index using vsy_DblVecGet(). The total number of nonzero double values contained in the vector may be found by calling vsy_DblVecCount().

The index of each nonzero double value in the vector may be returned with an “iterator” construct. The pair of methods vsy_DblVecInitIter() and vsy_DblVecNextIter() are used to visit each nonzero value using a loop. Call the first method before the body of the loop to prepare the DblVec object for the iteration. Within the loop body, call vsy_DblVecNextIter(). It will return the index to the next nonzero value each time it is called. It will return an index of -1 when all of the nonzero values have been processed.

Instance an IntDict object using vsy_IntDictBegin(). Once a IntDict is instanced, an approximate number of integers to be stored may defined using vsy_IntDictDef(). As integers are inserted the IntDict module will adjust memory as required. The actual size of the allocated storage may be determined by calling vsy_IntDictInq().

Each new integer is placed in the dictionary by calling vsy_IntDictInsert(). The total number of integers contained in the dictionary may be found with vsy_IntDictCount(). The integer with a specified name may be found by calling vsy_IntDictLookup(). The method vsy_IntDictClear() removes all integers from the dictionary.

Each integer in the dictionary may be processed with an “iterator” construct. The pair of methods vsy_IntDictInitIter() and vsy_IntDictNextIter() are used to visit each name/integer pair using a loop. Call the first method before the body of the loop to prepare the IntDict object for the iteration. Within the loop body, call vsy_IntDictNextIter(). It will return the name of and the value of an integer each time it is called. It will return a NULL pointer to the name and a zero value when all of the integers have been visited.

5.9. Integer Hashtable - IntHash

The IntHash module holds a collection of integers which are identified by integer key values. The IntHash object may expand to contain an increasing number of integers. It also supports “iterator” functions, which are used to successively visit each integer stored in the hashtable.

Instance a IntHash object using vsy_IntHashBegin(). Once a IntHash is instanced, an approximate number of integers to be stored may be defined using vsy_IntHashDef(). As integers are inserted IntHash module will expand its internal storage as required. The method vsy_IntHashInq() returns the number of integers which may be managed by the presently allocated storage.

Each new integer is placed in the hashtable using vsy_IntHashInsert(). The total number of integers contained in the hashtable may be found by calling vsy_IntHashCount(). An integer with a specified integer key may be retrieved using vsy_IntHashLookup(). The method vsy_IntHashClear() removes all integers from the hashtable. The maximum key used to store any integer may be queried using vsy_IntHashMaxKey(). All keys may be queried using vsy_IntHashAllKeys(). In this case the number of keys returned will be equal to the number of keys returned by vsy_IntHashCount().

Each integer in the hashtable may be processed with an “iterator” construct. The pair of methods vsy_IntHashInitIter() and vsy_IntHashNextIter() are used to visit each key/integer pair using a loop. Call the first method before the body of the loop to prepare the IntHash object for the iteration. Within the loop body, call vsy_IntHashNextIter(). It will return an integer key and an integer value each time it is called. It will return a zero value when all of the integers have been processed. Use vsy_IntHashInitIterOrder() to visit the integers in monotonically increasing key value.

5.15. Integer Vectors - IntVec

The IntVec module is designed to hold an arbitrarily large, extensible series of integer numbers. The module functions allow the user to set and query individual integer numbers in a vector using an integer index key. The integer numbers are guaranteed to be contiguous in memory with respect to the integer index key.

Instance a IntVec object using vsy_IntVecBegin(). Once a IntVec object is instanced, an approximate number of integers to be stored may be defined using vsy_IntVecDef(). This allocates an internal array for the storage of integer values. As integer values are set the IntVec module will adjust memory as required. The actual maximum index referenced or defined may be determined by calling vsy_IntVecInq(). The individual integers are addressed by an index which is greater than or equal to zero. The validity of the zero index may be toggled using vsy_IntVecSetParami().

Integer values are initially zero. Integer values may be set by calling vsy_IntVecSet(). A integer value may be returned for a given index using vsy_IntVecGet(). The total number of nonzero integer values contained in the vector may be found by calling vsy_IntVecCount().

The index of each nonzero integer value in the vector may be returned with an “iterator” construct. The pair of methods vsy_IntVecInitIter() and vsy_IntVecNextIter() are used to visit each nonzero value using a loop. Call the first method before the body of the loop to prepare the IntVec object for the iteration. Within the loop body, call vsy_IntVecNextIter(). It will return the index to the next nonzero value each time it is called. It will return an index of -1 when all of the nonzero values have been processed.
