Constructor LRUHashMap

LRUHashMap(Int32)

Create a new hash map with a bounded size and with least recently used entries removed.

Declaration
public LRUHashMap(int limit)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Int32 limit

The maximum size (in number of entries) to which the map can grow before the least recently used entries start being removed.

Setting maxSize to a very large value, like is allowed, but is less efficient than using HashMap<TKey, TValue> or because our class needs to keep track of the use order (via an additional doubly-linked list) which is not used when the map's size is always below the maximum size.
