Hello.
in class org.apache.commons.math3.linear.RealVector there is the
embedded class Entry which is protected, but it is exposed by method
public Iterator<Entry> iterator() ...
Good catch. Thanks.
My solution:
1. make class Entry public
2. make class RealVector implement Iterable<RealVector<Entry>>
so one can do this:
for (RealVector.Entry e : v) {
if (Double.isNaN(e.getValue()) ||
Double.isInfinite(e.getValue())) {
throw new RuntimeException("roots: inputs must not contain Inf or
NaN");
}
}
IMO, exposing an "Entry" is a mistake: From a user point-of-view, a
"RealVector" should be a collection of "[Dd]ouble".
IIUC, the "Entry" was meant to allow storage or iteration optimizations
in subclasses.
I think that the current "iterator()" method must be deprecated and
removed; in its place, there should be a
protected Iterator<Entry> entryIterator()
and a new
public Iterator<Double> iterator()
(that would use the above method), such that "RealVector" would
implement "Iterable<Double>", as is appropriate for this concept.
Eventually, your use-case would become:
-----
for (Double e : v) {
if (e.isNaN() ||
e.isInfinite()) {
throw new RuntimeException("inputs must not contain Inf or NaN");
}
}
-----
JIRA + diff???
A bug report mentioning the inconsistency is welcome.
A diff is not necessary until we agree on the way to go.
Thanks,
Gilles
