public interface MutableCEDigraph
extends CEDigraph

MutableCEDigraph adds mutators to the CEDigraph interface so that a developer can add and remove edges and nodes.

Implementations should provide three constructors: a constructor with no arguments that creates a reasonably small CEDigraph, a constructor that supplies arguments for the initial number of nodes and edges as appropriate, and a copy constructor that has a single CEDigraph as a parameter. This last constructor should copy the digraph into itself.

Method Detail

addNode

public boolean addNode(java.lang.Object node)
Return true if the node is added successfully, false if the digraph does not change.


addEdge

public java.lang.Object addEdge(java.lang.Object fromNode,
                                java.lang.Object toNode,
                                java.lang.Object edge)
                         throws NodeMissingException
Return null if no existing edge is displaced by edge. Otherwise, return the edge that is displaced.

Throws:
NodeMissingException - if either node is not in the digraph.

removeNode

public Bag removeNode(java.lang.Object node)
               throws NodeMissingException
Return the Bag of orphaned edges that are removed with node

Throws:
NodeMissingException - if the node is not in the digraph

removeEdge

public java.lang.Object removeEdge(java.lang.Object fromNode,
                                   java.lang.Object toNode)
                            throws NodeMissingException
Return the edge that connected fromNode to toNode, or null if no edge existed.

Throws:
NodeMissingException - if either node is not in the digraph

addNodes

public boolean addNodes(java.util.Set nodes)
Return true if adding the nodes changes the digraph.


removeNodes

public Bag removeNodes(java.util.Set nodes)
Return the Bag of edges orphaned edges when these nodes are removed.


removeCEDigraph

public Bag removeCEDigraph(CEDigraph digraph)
Return a Bag of edges orphaned when digraph is removed


retainNodes

public Bag retainNodes(java.util.Set nodes)
Return a Bag of orphaned edges when the nodes are removed.


clear

public void clear()
Remove all nodes and edges from the CEDigraph


clearEdges

public void clearEdges()
Remove all the edges from the CEDigraph.
