Class CharBigList

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.CharSequence, java.lang.Cloneable, ICharListable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    CharBigList.ReadOnlyCharBigList

    public class CharBigList
    extends ICharList
    CharBigList is a list optimized for storing large number of elements. It stores the elements in fixed size blocks and the blocks itself are maintained in a tree for fast access. It also offers specialized methods for bulk processing of elements. Also copying a CharBigList is efficiently possible as its implemented using a copy-on-write approach.

    Note that this implementation is not synchronized. Due to data caching used for exploiting locality of reference, performance can decrease if CharBigList is accessed by several threads at different positions.

    Note that the iterators provided are not fail-fast.

        a modifiable copy of this list

        The copy is realized by a copy-on-write approach so also really large lists can efficiently be handled.

                                char key)
        Description copied from class: ICharList
        Searches the specified range for an object using the binary search algorithm.

        Note that the method is defined to work with an arbitrary type <K>. This allows to search directly for a key field in the object without the need to construct an object containing the key:

        
          persons.binarySearch("john", new SearchByName());
        
          class SearchByName implements Comparator<Object> {
         	 public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {
         	   String s1 = (o1 instanceof String) ? (String) o1 : ((Name) o1).getName();
         	   String s2 = (o2 instanceof String) ? (String) o2 : ((Name) o2).getName();
         	   return s1.compareTo(s2);
         	 }
          }
          /
        Specified by:
        binarySearch in class ICharList
        Parameters:
        index - index of first element to search
        len - number of elements to search
        key - the value to be searched for
        Returns:
        index of the search key, if it is contained in the array; otherwise, (-(insertion point) - 1). The insertion point is defined as the point at which the key would be inserted into the array: the index of the first element greater than the key, or a.length if all elements in the array are less than the specified key. Note that this guarantees that the return value will be >= 0 if and only if the key is found.
