@ohos.util.LightWeightSet (Nonlinear Container LightWeightSet)

LightWeightSet stores a set of values, each of which must be unique.

LightWeightSet is based on generics and uses a lightweight structure. Its default initial capacity is 8, and it has the capacity doubled in each expansion.

The values in such a set are searched using hash values, which are stored in an array.

Compared with HashSet, which can also store values, LightWeightSet occupies less memory.

Recommended use case: Use LightWeightSet when you need a set that has only unique elements or need to deduplicate a set.

This topic uses the following to identify the use of generics:

  • The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 8. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

  • Container classes, implemented in static languages, have restrictions on storage locations and properties, and do not support custom properties or methods.

Specifications

If the value stored in LightWeightSet is of the number type and the value is greater than INT32_MAX or less than INT32_MIN, the operation result of LightWeightSet may be different from the expected result.

This is because the storage structure changes in such cases.

For example, 1758783600000 is greater than INT32_MAX and is stored as TaggedDouble; 1758783600 is less than INT32_MIN and is stored as TaggedInt. Due to these differences in storage modes, the hash algorithm will generate different hash values, leading to inconsistent mapping results and ultimately causing discrepancies from expected outcomes.

let st = new LightWeightSet<number>();
let value = 1758783600000 / 1000;  // 1758783600000 > INT32_MAX
st.add(value);
console.info("result:", st.has(1758783600));  // result: false
console.info("result:", st.has(value));  // result: true
