## Constructor Details

### HashAttributeSet

public HashAttributeSet()
Construct a new, empty attribute set.

### HashAttributeSet

public HashAttributeSet(Attribute attribute)
Construct a new attribute set, initially populated with the given attribute.

Parameters:
  `attribute` - attribute value to add to the set
Throws:
  `NullPointerException` - if `attribute` is `null`

### HashAttributeSet

public HashAttributeSet(Attribute[] attributes)
Construct a new attribute set, initially populated with the values from the given array. The new attribute set is populated by adding the elements of `attributes` array to the set in sequence, starting at index 0. Thus, later array elements may replace earlier array elements if the array contains duplicate attribute values or attribute categories.

Parameters:
  `attributes` - array of attribute values to add to the set. If `null`, an empty attribute set is constructed.
Throws:
  `NullPointerException` - if any element of `attributes` is `null`

### HashAttributeSet

public HashAttributeSet(AttributeSet attributes)
Construct a new attribute set, initially populated with the values from the given set.

Parameters:
  `attributes` - set of attributes from which to initialise this set. If `null`, an empty attribute set is constructed.

### HashAttributeSet

protected HashAttributeSet(Class<?> interfaceName)
Construct a new, empty attribute set, where the members of the attribute set are restricted to the given interface.

Parameters:
  `interfaceName` - the interface of which all members of this attribute set must be an instance. It is assumed to be interface `Attribute` or a subinterface thereof.
Throws:
  `NullPointerException` - if `interfaceName` is `null`

### HashAttributeSet

protected HashAttributeSet(Attribute attribute, Class<?> interfaceName)
Construct a new attribute set, initially populated with the given attribute, where the members of the attribute set are restricted to the given interface.

Parameters:

  `ClassCastException` - if `attribute` is not an instance of `interfaceName`

### HashAttributeSet

protected HashAttributeSet(Attribute[] attributes, Class<?> interfaceName)
Construct a new attribute set, where the members of the attribute set are restricted to the given interface. The new attribute set is populated by adding the elements of `attributes` array to the set in sequence, starting at index 0. Thus, later array elements may replace earlier array elements if the array contains duplicate attribute values or attribute categories.

Parameters:
  `attributes` - array of attribute values to add to the set. If `null`, an empty attribute set is constructed.
  `interfaceName` - the interface of which all members of this attribute set must be an instance. It is assumed to be interface `Attribute` or a subinterface thereof.

### HashAttributeSet

protected HashAttributeSet(AttributeSet attributes, Class<?> interfaceName)
Construct a new attribute set, initially populated with the values from the given set where the members of the attribute set are restricted to the given interface.

Parameters:
  `attributes` - set of attribute values to initialise the set. If `null`, an empty attribute set is constructed.
  `interfaceName` - The interface of which all members of this attribute set must be an instance. It is assumed to be interface `Attribute` or a subinterface thereof.
Throws:
  `ClassCastException` - if any element of `attributes` is not an instance of `interfaceName`

## Method Details

### get

public Attribute get(Class<?> category)
Returns the attribute value which this attribute set contains in the given attribute category. Returns `null` if this attribute set does not contain any attribute value in the given attribute category.

Specified by:
  `get` in interface `AttributeSet`
Parameters:
  `category` - attribute category whose associated attribute value is to be returned. It must be a `Class` that implements interface `Attribute`.
Returns:
  the attribute value in the given attribute category contained in this attribute set, or `null` if this attribute set does not contain any attribute value in the given attribute category
Throws:
  `NullPointerException` - if the `category` is `null`
  `ClassCastException` - if the `category` is not a `Class` that implements interface `Attribute`

### add

public boolean add(Attribute attribute)
Adds the specified attribute to this attribute set if it is not already present, first removing any existing in the same attribute category as the specified attribute value.

Specified by:
  `add` in interface `AttributeSet`
Parameters:
  `attribute` - attribute value to be added to this attribute set
Returns:
  `true` if this attribute set changed as a result of the call, i.e., the given attribute value was not already a member of this attribute set
Throws:
  `NullPointerException` - if the `attribute` is `null`
  `UnmodifiableSetException` - if this attribute set does not support the `add()` operation

### remove

public boolean remove(Class<?> category)
Removes any attribute for this category from this attribute set if present. If `category` is `null`, then `remove()` does nothing and returns `false`.

Specified by:
  `remove` in interface `AttributeSet`
Parameters:
  `category` - attribute category to be removed from this attribute set
Returns:
  `true` if this attribute set changed as a result of the call, i.e., the given attribute category had been a member of this attribute set
Throws:
  `UnmodifiableSetException` - if this attribute set does not support the `remove()` operation

### remove

public boolean remove(Attribute attribute)
Removes the specified attribute from this attribute set if present. If `attribute` is `null`, then `remove()` does nothing and returns `false`.

Specified by:
  `remove` in interface `AttributeSet`
Parameters:
  `attribute` - attribute value to be removed from this attribute set
Returns:
  `true` if this attribute set changed as a result of the call, i.e., the given attribute value had been a member of this attribute set
Throws:
  `UnmodifiableSetException` - if this attribute set does not support the `remove()` operation

### containsKey

public boolean containsKey(Class<?> category)
Returns `true` if this attribute set contains an attribute for the specified category.

Specified by:
  `containsKey` in interface `AttributeSet`
Parameters:
  `category` - whose presence in this attribute set is to be tested
Returns:
  `true` if this attribute set contains an attribute value for the specified category

### containsValue

public boolean containsValue(Attribute attribute)
Returns `true` if this attribute set contains the given attribute.

Specified by:
  `containsValue` in interface `AttributeSet`
Parameters:
  `attribute` - value whose presence in this attribute set is to be tested
Returns:
  `true` if this attribute set contains the given attribute value

### addAll

public boolean addAll(AttributeSet attributes)
Adds all of the elements in the specified set to this attribute. The outcome is the same as if the `add(Attribute)` operation had been applied to this attribute set successively with each element from the specified set. The behavior of the `addAll(AttributeSet)` operation is unspecified if the specified set is modified while the operation is in progress.

If the `addAll(AttributeSet)` operation throws an exception, the effect on this attribute set's state is implementation dependent; elements from the specified set before the point of the exception may or may not have been added to this attribute set.

Specified by:
  `addAll` in interface `AttributeSet`
Parameters:
  `attributes` - whose elements are to be added to this attribute set
Returns:
  `true` if this attribute set changed as a result of the call
Throws:
  `UnmodifiableSetException` - if this attribute set does not support the `addAll(AttributeSet)` method
  `NullPointerException` - if some element in the specified set is `null`, or the set is `null`
See Also:
  - `add(Attribute)`

### size

public int size()
Returns the number of attributes in this attribute set. If this attribute set contains more than `Integer.MAX_VALUE` elements, returns `Integer.MAX_VALUE`.

Specified by:
  `size` in interface `AttributeSet`
Returns:
  the number of attributes in this attribute set

### toArray

public Attribute[] toArray()
Returns an array of the attributes contained in this set.

Specified by:
  `toArray` in interface `AttributeSet`
Returns:
  the attributes contained in this set as an array, zero length if the `AttributeSet` is empty

### clear

public void clear()
Removes all attributes from this attribute set.

Specified by:
  `clear` in interface `AttributeSet`
Throws:
  `UnmodifiableSetException` - if this attribute set does not support the `clear()` operation

### isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()
Returns `true` if this attribute set contains no attributes.

Specified by:
  `isEmpty` in interface `AttributeSet`
Returns:
  `true` if this attribute set contains no attributes

### equals

public boolean equals(Object object)
Compares the specified object with this attribute set for equality. Returns `true` if the given object is also an attribute set and the two attribute sets contain the same attribute category-attribute value mappings. This ensures that the `equals()` method works properly across different implementations of the `AttributeSet` interface.

Specified by:
  `equals` in interface `AttributeSet`
Overrides:
  `equals` in class `Object`
Parameters:
  `object` - to be compared for equality with this attribute set
Returns:
  `true` if the specified object is equal to this attribute set
See Also:
  - `Object.hashCode()`
  - `HashMap`

### hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns the hash code value for this attribute set. The hash code of an attribute set is defined to be the sum of the hash codes of each entry in the `AttributeSet`. This ensures that `t1.equals(t2)` implies that `t1.hashCode()==t2.hashCode()` for any two attribute sets `t1` and `t2`, as required by the general contract of `Object.hashCode()`.

Specified by:
  `hashCode` in interface `AttributeSet`
Overrides:
  `hashCode` in class `Object`
Returns:
  the hash code value for this attribute set
