Type Parameters:

K - Key Type

V - Key Value

Enclosing interface:

Trie<K,V>

public static interface Trie.Cursor<K,V>

An interface used by a Trie. A Trie selects items by closeness and passes the items to the Cursor. You can then decide what to do with the key-value pair and the return value from select(java.util.Map.Entry) tells the Trie what to do next.

Cursor returns status/selection status might be:

Return Value	Status
EXIT	Finish the Trie operation
CONTINUE	Look at the next element in the traversal
REMOVE_AND_EXIT	Remove the entry and stop iterating
REMOVE	Remove the entry and continue iterating

Note: Trie.select(Object, net.sf.eos.trie.Trie.Cursor) does not support REMOVE.
