在此基础上,我创建了这段代码,用于从LinkedList的HashMap中删除一个条目。
//Dbase in question
HashMap<String, LinkedList<Item>> authorDbase = new HashMap<String, LinkedList<Item>>();
TreeMap<String, Item> bookAisle = new TreeMap<String, Item>();
...
Item book = bookAisle.get(title); // book == title's Item object reference
authorDbase.get(author).remove(book); //Removes the item mapped to specified keyword
当这个函数的一部分在main中被调用时,我得到以下错误:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to library.Item
at library.Item.compareTo(Item.java:8)
at java.util.TreeMap.getEntry(TreeMap.java:352)
at java.util.TreeMap.remove(TreeMap.java:603)
at library.Library.removeBook(Library.java:287)
at Assignment3.removeBook(Assignment3.java:134)
at Assignment3.main(Assignment3.java:118)
这是我如何实现Comparable<Item>
8 public abstract class Item implements Comparable<Item>
9 {
...
26 @Override
27 public int compareTo(Item i)
28 {
29 // String title = this.title; DEBUG FLAG: delete maybe?
30 return this.title.compareTo(i.title); //Returns a negative value if title < i.title, implements alphabetical order by title
31 }
我的删除算法有什么问题?我理解它试图用一个不正确的参数使用compareTo
,这就是抛出异常的原因,但我不应该从HashMap.get(listWanted)
的结果调用LinkedList<Item>
的任何函数吗?为什么Comparable
是这里的一个因素?有人可以建议一个修复和纠正我的理解这一点吗?
编辑
第118行只是调用删除算法在
中的remove函数118 removeBook(out, "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time");
removeBook
279 public boolean removeBook(String title)
280 {
281 Item book = bookAisle.get(title); // book == title's Item object reference
282 String author;
283 boolean successFlag = false;
284
285 if(book == null) //title doesn't exist in the bookAisle
286 successFlag = false;
287 else if (bookAisle.remove(book) != null) //It does exist and was removed
288 {
289 //Deletes from author dbase
290 author = book.getCreator(); //placed here to avoid potentially calling on a null object
291 authorDbase.get(author).remove(book); //Removes the item mapped to specified keyword
292 //Deletes from keyword dbase
293 removeFromKDbase(book); //Removes object reference from KDbase
294 successFlag = true;
295 }
296
297 return successFlag;
298 }
在287行中,您正在调用bookaisles .remove(book),它有效地尝试从包含String
作为键的Treemap中删除Item
。
(Javadoc of Treemap: "如果指定的键不能与当前映射中的键进行比较,则抛出java.lang.ClassCastException ")
如果你将行改为bookAisle.remove(title)
,那么它应该可以工作
