Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`int`	`expectedElementCount()`	Provides a hint to initialize containers appropriately.
`Collection<T>`	`initialize(Map<T,E> mapping)`	Provide the initial elements that should be processed by `update`.
`R`	`result()`	Provides the result of this algorithm's internal action.
`Collection<T>`	`update(Map<T,E> mapping, T currentT)`	Process the given element and perform its corresponding actions.

- Method Detail
  - expectedElementCount
```
int expectedElementCount()
```
    Provides a hint to initialize containers appropriately.
    
    Returns:
    
    expected number of elements visited
  - initialize
```
Collection<T> initialize(Map<T,E> mapping)
```
    Provide the initial elements that should be processed by update. Also performs any required action on the initial elements (e.g. update mapping).
    
    Parameters:
    
    mapping - the calculated mapping (should be updated appropriately)
    
    Returns:
    
    initial elements
  - update
```
Collection<T> update(Map<T,E> mapping,
                     T currentT)
```
    Process the given element and perform its corresponding actions. If during this process the need arises to update other elements as well, return them.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mapping - the calculated mapping (should be updated appropriately)
    
    currentT - the current element that should be processed by this method
    
    Returns:
    
    a collection of elements that need to be processed
  - result
```
R result()
```
    Provides the result of this algorithm's internal action. More precise, this function returns the accumulated object E after the successful application of all update calls.
    
    Returns:
    
    the resulting object
