The with() method in org.javatuples is used to instantiate a tuple in a semantically elegant way, with the values given as parameters. This method can be used for any tuple class object of the javatuples library. This method is a static function in each javatuple class and it returns the tuple class object of the called class, with the values initialized by the corresponding values in the arguments.
Syntax:
public static <A, B, ..> <em>TupleClass<A, B, ..> with(A a, B b, ..)
Parameters: This method takes n values as parameters where:
- n– represents the number of values based on the TupleClass (Unit, Pair, etc) used.
- A a– represents the type for 1st value in A and its corresponding value in a.
- B b– represents the type for 2nd value in B and its corresponding value in b.
.
.
and so on.
Return Value: This method returns the object of TupleClass, which calls the method, with the values passed as the parameters.
Exceptions: This method throws a RuntimeException in the following cases:
- When the values passed do not match their expected types in TupleClass
- When the number of values passed are lesser than expected in TupleClass
- When the number of values passed are more than expected in TupleClass
Below programs illustrate the various ways to use with() methods:
Program 1: When the with() method is used correctly, here with Unit class:
import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Unit;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Unit<String> unit = Unit.with( "GeeksforGeeks" );
System.out.println(unit);
}
}
|
Output:
[GeeksforGeeks]
Program 2: When the values passed do not match their expected types:
import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Quartet;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Quartet<Integer, String, String, Double> quartet
= Quartet.with(Double.valueOf( 1 ),
"GeeksforGeeks" ,
"A computer portal" ,
Double.valueOf( 20.18 ));
System.out.println(quartet);
}
}
|
Output:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException:
Uncompilable source code - incompatible types: inference variable A has incompatible bounds
equality constraints: java.lang.Integer
lower bounds: java.lang.Double
at MainClass.GfG.main]
Program 3: When the number of values passed are lesser than expected:
import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Quartet;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Quartet<Integer, String, String, Double> quartet
= Quartet.with(Integer.valueOf( 1 ),
"GeeksforGeeks" ,
"A computer portal" );
System.out.println(quartet);
}
}
|
Output:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException:
Uncompilable source code - Erroneous sym type: org.javatuples.Quartet.with
at MainClass.GfG.main
Program 4: When the number of values passed are more than expected:
import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Quartet;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Quartet<Integer, String, String, Double> quartet
= Quartet.with(Integer.valueOf( 1 ),
"GeeksforGeeks" ,
"A computer portal" ,
Double.valueOf( 20.18 ),
Integer.valueOf( 1 ));
System.out.println(quartet);
}
}
|
Output:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException:
Uncompilable source code - Erroneous sym type: org.javatuples.Quartet.with
at MainClass.GfG.main
Note: Similarly, it can be used with any other JavaTuple Class.
