abstract int	intValue(String s) Return the integer associated with the given key.

Method Detail

create

public static StringSwitcher create(String[] strings, int[] ints, boolean fixedInput)

Helper method to create a StringSwitcher. For finer control over the generated instance, use a new instance of StringSwitcher.Generator instead of this static method.

Parameters: strings the array of String keys; must be the same length as the value array ints the array of integer results; must be the same length as the key array fixedInput if false, an unknown key will be returned from StringSwitcher as -1; if true, the result will be undefined, and the resulting code will be faster

intValue

public abstract int intValue(String s)

Return the integer associated with the given key.

Parameters: s the key

Returns: the associated integer value, or -1 if the key is unknown (unless fixedInput was specified when this StringSwitcher was created, in which case the return value for an unknown key is undefined)
