Detailed Description

Class that creates a list which can keep item/value pairs, which you can walk.

Member Enumeration Documentation

SorterType

enum AIList::SorterType

Type of sorter.

Enumerator
SORT_BY_VALUE	Sort the list based on the value of the item.
SORT_BY_ITEM	Sort the list based on the item itself.

Member Function Documentation

AddItem()

void AIList::AddItem	(	int	item,
		int	value
	)

Add a single item to the list.

Parameters

item	the item to add. Should be unique, otherwise it is ignored.
value	the value to assign.

AddList()

void AIList::AddList

(

AIList *

list

)

Add one list to another one.

Parameters

list	The list that will be added to the caller.

Postcondition

The list to be added ('list') stays unmodified.

Note

All added items keep their value as it was in 'list'.

If the item already exists inside the caller, the value of the list that is added is set on the item.

Begin()

int AIList::Begin

(

)

Go to the beginning of the list and return the item.

To get the value use list.GetValue(list.Begin()).

Returns

the first item.

Note

returns 0 if beyond end-of-list. Use IsEnd() to check for end-of-list.

Count()

int AIList::Count

(

)

Returns the amount of items in the list.

Returns

amount of items in the list.

GetValue()

int AIList::GetValue

(

int

item

)

Get the value that belongs to this item.

Parameters

item	the item to get the value from

Returns

the value that belongs to this item.

HasItem()

bool AIList::HasItem

(

int

item

)

Check if an item is in the list.

Parameters

item	the item to check for.

Returns

true if the item is in the list.

IsEmpty()

bool AIList::IsEmpty

(

)

Check if a list is empty.

Returns

true if the list is empty.

IsEnd()

bool AIList::IsEnd

(

)

Check if there is a element left.

In other words, if this is false, the last call to Begin() or Next() returned a valid item.

Returns

true if the current item is beyond end-of-list.

KeepAboveValue()

void AIList::KeepAboveValue

(

int

value

)

Keep all items with a higher value than 'value'.

Parameters

value

the value above which all items are kept.

KeepBelowValue()

void AIList::KeepBelowValue

(

int

value

)

Keep all items with a lower value than 'value'.

Parameters

value

the value below which all items are kept.

KeepBetweenValue()

void AIList::KeepBetweenValue	(	int	start,
		int	end
	)

Keep all items with a value above start and below end.

Parameters

start	the lower bound of the to be kept values (exclusive).
end	the upper bound of the to be kept values (exclusive).

KeepBottom()

void AIList::KeepBottom

(

int

count

)

Keep the last count items, i.e.

remove everything except the last count items.

Parameters

count

the amount of items to keep.

KeepList()

void AIList::KeepList

(

AIList *

list

)

Keeps everything that is in the given list from this list (same item index that is).

Parameters

list	the list of items to keep.

Precondition

list != null

KeepTop()

void AIList::KeepTop

(

int

count

)

Keep the first count items, i.e.

remove everything except the first count items.

Parameters

count

the amount of items to keep.

KeepValue()

void AIList::KeepValue

(

int

value

)

Keep all items with this value.

Parameters

value

the value to keep.

Next()

int AIList::Next

(

)

Go to the next item in the list and return the item.

To get the value use list.GetValue(list.Next()).

Returns

the next item.

Note

returns 0 if beyond end-of-list. Use IsEnd() to check for end-of-list.

RemoveAboveValue()

void AIList::RemoveAboveValue

(

int

value

)

Removes all items with a higher value than 'value'.

Parameters

value

the value above which all items are removed.

RemoveBelowValue()

void AIList::RemoveBelowValue

(

int

value

)

Removes all items with a lower value than 'value'.

Parameters

value

the value below which all items are removed.

RemoveBetweenValue()

void AIList::RemoveBetweenValue	(	int	start,
		int	end
	)

Removes all items with a value above start and below end.

Parameters

start	the lower bound of the to be removed values (exclusive).
end	the upper bound of the to be removed values (exclusive).

RemoveBottom()

void AIList::RemoveBottom

(

int

count

)

Remove the last count items.

Parameters

count

the amount of items to remove.

RemoveItem()

void AIList::RemoveItem

(

int

item

)

Remove a single item from the list.

Parameters

item	the item to remove. If not existing, it is ignored.

RemoveList()

void AIList::RemoveList

(

AIList *

list

)

Remove everything that is in the given list from this list (same item index that is).

Parameters

list	the list of items to remove.

Precondition

list != null

RemoveTop()

void AIList::RemoveTop

(

int

count

)

Remove the first count items.

Parameters

count

the amount of items to remove.

RemoveValue()

void AIList::RemoveValue

(

int

value

)

Remove all items with this value.

Parameters

value

the value to remove.

SetValue()

bool AIList::SetValue	(	int	item,
		int	value
	)

Set a value of an item directly.

Parameters

item	the item to set the value for.
value	the value to give to the item

Returns

true if we could set the item to value, false otherwise.

Note

Changing values of items while looping through a list might cause entries to be skipped. Be very careful with such operations.

Sort()

void AIList::Sort	(	SorterType	sorter,
		bool	ascending
	)

Sort this list by the given sorter and direction.

Parameters

sorter	the type of sorter to use
ascending	if true, lowest value is on top, else at bottom.

Note

the current item stays at the same place.

SORT_ASCENDING SORT_DESCENDING

SwapList()

void AIList::SwapList

(

AIList *

list

)

Swap the contents of two lists.

Parameters

list	The list that will be swapped with.

Valuate()

void AIList::Valuate	(	function	valuator_function,
			...
	)

Give all items a value defined by the valuator you give.

Parameters

valuator_function	The function which will be doing the valuation.
...	The params to give to the valuators (minus the first param, which is always the index-value we are valuating).

Note

You may not add, remove or change (setting the value of) items while valuating. You may also not (re)sort while valuating.

You can write your own valuators and use them. Just remember that the first parameter should be the index-value, and it should return an integer.

Example:

list.Valuate(AIBridge.GetPrice, 5);
list.Valuate(AIBridge.GetMaxLength);
function MyVal(bridge_id, myparam)
{
  return myparam * bridge_id; // This is silly
}
list.Valuate(MyVal, 12);
