    Default Ok, I'm trying to make my own Map classes.

    I've already got my own Collection class, actually an interface, that has DoublyLinkedList and MyArrayList that implement it.

    There is another class called MyHashSet that used a DoublyLinkedList object and an equals() method to make sure that there are no duplicates. Haven't gotten to the MyTreeSet, as that would involve either a MyHashSet object that implements Comparable or a DoublyLinkedList that uses equals() and implements Comparable.

    I have a class called MyStack that used a DoublyLinkedList to make a stack and a classed called MyQueue that uses a DoublyLinkedList to make a queue.


    I also have an interface called MyMap.

    I don't know much about maps, but how do I basically set a bunch of values, possibly using a MyCollection object, and paring each one with some key?

    public interface MyCollection<T>
    {
     
    public void add(int index, T data);
    public void remove(int index);
    public void addFirst(T data);
    public void addLast(T data);
    public void removeFirst();
    public void removeLast();
     
    public void removeRange(int from, int to);
    public void removeAll();
    public int Size();
    public T get(int value);

    How do you set up a mapping?

    ...why are you doing this? Why don't you just use the wheel that's already been invented, instead of chiseling out a square one?

    Indeed, why reinvent the wheel. If this is just an exercise, then I suggest reading the following:

    Ok, this seems like this involves complicated algorithms and lots of tree things I've never heard much of before.


    I could possibly make two parallel DoublyLinkedLists instead of a Map.

    I'm not going to attempt "Double Generics" i.e. Class<H,J> for a long time till I'm far more skilled if they're that hard.

    The most I must use is an ActionMap or something, and I'm definitely not writing my own.
