CityMap
homesPerSide: Int, populations: Vector[(Demographic, Int)]) extends Grid[Demographic]
A CityMap is a square grid that represents a simplified map of a city. It is a Grid whose elements are Demographic objects. That is, each GridPos (“street address”) on a CityMap is either Vacant or stores a household that belongs to aparticular demographic.
A CityMap is mutable. As a household moves, the corresponding Demographic object moves to a different GridPos on the CityMap.
Parameters
- homesPerSide
-
the number of street addresses in each row and each column of the city grid (which is always square)
- populations
-
a vector of pairs in which each
Demographicis matched with a count of how many times it appears on this city map

Concrete methods
Generates the elements that initially occupy the grid. In the case of a CityMap grid, this means generating new Demographic objects at random locations so that their distribution matches the populations parameter of the CityMap.

Attributes
Determines whether the household at the given “street address” (GridPos) belongs to the given demographic.
Determines whether the household at the given “street address” (GridPos) belongs to the given demographic.
Parameters
- address
-
a location on the city grid to examine
- householdType
-
a demographic that the household at the given address is compared to (may be
Vacant, too, in which case this method checks if the address is vacant)

Inherited methods
Returns a collection of all the elements currently in the grid.
Returns a collection of all the locations on the grid.
Returns the element at the given pair of coordinates. (This does the same as elementAt.)
Returns the element at the given pair of coordinates. (This does the same as elementAt.)
Parameters
- location
-
a location on the grid (which must be within range or this method will fail with an error)
Attributes
- Inherited from:
- Grid
Determines whether the grid contains the given pair of coordinates. For instance, a grid with a width and height of 5 will contain (0, 0) and (4, 4) but not (-1, -1), (4, 5) or (5, 4).

Parameters
- location

a location on the grid (which must be within range or this method will fail with an error)
Attributes

- Grid
Returns a vector of all the neighboring elements of the element indicated by the first parameter. Depending on the second parameter, either only the four neighbors in cardinal compass directions (north, east, south, west) are considered, or the four diagonals as well.
Returns a vector of all the neighboring elements of the element indicated by the first parameter. Depending on the second parameter, either only the four neighbors in cardinal compass directions (north, east, south, west) are considered, or the four diagonals as well.
Note that an element at the grid’s edge has fewer neighbors than one in the middle. For instance, the element at (0, 0) of a 5-by-5 grid has only three neighbors, diagonals included.
Parameters
- includeDiagonals
-
trueif diagonal neighbors also count (resulting in up to eight neighbors),falseif only cardinal directions count (resulting in up to four) - middleLoc
-
the location between the neighbors
Attributes
- Inherited from:
- Grid
Swaps the elements at two given locations on the grid. The given locations must be within range or this method will fail with an error.

Parameters
