Finding Examples

Finding 1 - Finding a single element, conditional searching, finding consecutive elements.

Finding 2 - Finding objects that match a predicate.

        break;
      System.out.println( "iterator found " + i.get() + " at index " + i.index() );

    int intArray[] = { 3, 6, 2, 1, 8, 9, 4, 5 };
    IntIterator j = (IntIterator) Finding.findIf( IntIterator.begin( intArray ), IntIterator.end( intArray ), new BindSecondPredicate( new GreaterNumber(), new Integer( 7 ) ) );
    System.out.println( "First element > 7 is " + j.get() + " at index " + j.index() );

    DList list = new DList();
    list.add( "cat" );

    list.add( "emu" );
    list.add( "emu" );

    System.out.println( "First consecutive sequence is of " + k.get() + " at index " + k.index() );
    }
  }

Finding1 Example Output

iterator found dog at index 1
iterator found dog at index 3
iterator found dog at index 4
First element > 7 is 8 at index 4
First consecutive sequence is of emu at index 2

  // greater than 5.

Finding2 Example Output

array = Array( cat, monkey, lion, armadillo, zebra )
Array has SOME string > 5 chars  == true
Array has EVERY string > 5 chars == false
1st Object in array > 5 chars    == monkey
