Table like java data structure

Question

I need to implement some kind table-like data structure that stores info like this in Java:

+--------+-------+-----+
|  sij   |   i   |  j  |
+--------+-----         


        

Answer 1

Here's one way: make an object called Row to hold each row, and then make a java.util.HashMap whose keys are Integer sij's and whose values are the corresponding Rows.

public class Example
{
  public static class Row
  {
    public Integer sij;
    public Integer i;
    public Integer j;
    public Row(Integer sij, Integer i, Integer j)
    {
      this.sij = sij;
      this.i = i;
      this.j = j;
    }
  }

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    Row r1 = new Row(45, 5, 7);
    Row r2 = new Row(33, 1, 6);
    Row r3 = new Row(31, 0, 9);
    Row r4 = new Row(12, 8, 2);
    Map map = new TreeMap();
    map.put(r1.sij, r1);
    map.put(r2.sij, r2);
    map.put(r3.sij, r3);
    map.put(r4.sij, r4);
    for ( Row row : map.values() ) {
        System.out.println("sij: " + row.sij + " i: " + row.i + " j: " + row.j);
    }
  }
}

When this runs it produces:

sij: 12 i: 8 j: 2
sij: 31 i: 0 j: 9
sij: 33 i: 1 j: 6
sij: 45 i: 5 j: 7
