Class CharArrayList

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    CharCollection, CharIterable, CharList, CharStack, Stack<java.lang.Character>, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Comparable<java.util.List<? extends java.lang.Character>>, java.lang.Iterable<java.lang.Character>, java.util.Collection<java.lang.Character>, java.util.List<java.lang.Character>, java.util.RandomAccess

    public class CharArrayList
    extends AbstractCharList
    implements java.util.RandomAccess, java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable
    A type-specific array-based list; provides some additional methods that use polymorphism to avoid (un)boxing.

    This class implements a lightweight, fast, open, optimized, reuse-oriented version of array-based lists. Instances of this class represent a list with an array that is enlarged as needed when new entries are created (by increasing its current length by 50%), but is never made smaller (even on a clear()). A family of trimming methods lets you control the size of the backing array; this is particularly useful if you reuse instances of this class. Range checks are equivalent to those of java.util's classes, but they are delayed as much as possible. The backing array is exposed by the elements() method.

    This class implements the bulk methods removeElements(), addElements() and getElements() using high-performance system calls (e.g., System.arraycopy()) instead of expensive loops.

      • trim

        public void trim​(int n)

        n - the threshold for the trimming.

      • toArray

        public char[] toArray​(char[] a)
        Description copied from interface: CharCollection
        Returns an array containing all of the elements in this collection; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array.

        Note that, contrarily to Collection.toArray(Object[]), this methods just writes all elements of this collection: no special value will be added after the last one.

        Specified by:
        toArray in interface CharCollection
        Overrides:
        toArray in class AbstractCharList
        Parameters:
        a - if this array is big enough, it will be used to store this collection.
        Returns:
        a primitive type array containing the items of this collection.

        Collection.toArray(Object[])
      • listIterator

        public CharListIterator listIterator​(int index)
        Description copied from class: AbstractCharList
        Returns a type-specific list iterator on the list starting at a given index.
        Specified by:
        listIterator in interface CharList
        Specified by:
        listIterator in interface java.util.List<java.lang.Character>

        List.listIterator(int)
      • spliterator

        public CharSpliterator spliterator()
        Returns a type-specific spliterator on the elements of this list.

        List spliterators must report at least Spliterator.SIZED and Spliterator.ORDERED.

        See List.spliterator() for more documentation on the requirements of the returned spliterator.

        The returned spliterator is late-binding; it will track structural changes after the current index, up until the first trySplit(), at which point the maximum index will be fixed.
        Structural changes before the current index or after the first trySplit() will result in unspecified behavior.

        Specified by:
        spliterator in interface CharCollection
        Specified by:
        spliterator in interface CharIterable
        Specified by:
        spliterator in interface CharList
        Specified by:
        spliterator in interface java.util.Collection<java.lang.Character>
        Specified by:
        spliterator in interface java.lang.Iterable<java.lang.Character>
        Specified by:
        spliterator in interface java.util.List<java.lang.Character>
        Returns:
        a type-specific spliterator on the elements of this collection.
      • sort

        public void sort​(CharComparator comp)
        Description copied from interface: CharList
        Sort a list using a type-specific comparator.

        Pass null to sort using natural ordering.

        Specified by:
        sort in interface CharList
        See Also:
        List.sort(java.util.Comparator)
      • unstableSort

        public void unstableSort​(CharComparator comp)
        Description copied from interface: CharList
        Sorts this list using a sort not assured to be stable.

        Pass null to sort using natural ordering.

        This differs from List.sort(java.util.Comparator) in that the results are not assured to be stable, but may be a bit faster.

        Unless a subclass specifies otherwise, the results of the method if the list is concurrently modified during the sort are unspecified.

        unstableSort in interface CharList
      • equals

        public boolean equals​(CharArrayList l)
        Compares this type-specific array list to another one.
        Parameters:
        l - a type-specific array list.
        Returns:
        true if the argument contains the same elements of this type-specific array list.
        API Notes:
        This method exists only for sake of efficiency. The implementation inherited from the abstract implementation would already work.
      • equals

        public boolean equals​(java.lang.Object o)
        Specified by:
        equals in interface java.util.Collection<java.lang.Character>
        Specified by:
        equals in interface java.util.List<java.lang.Character>
        Overrides:
        equals in class AbstractCharList
      • compareTo

        public int compareTo​(CharArrayList l)
        Compares this array list to another array list.
        Parameters:
        l - an array list.
        Returns:
        a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this list is lexicographically less than, equal to, or greater than the argument.
        API Notes:
        This method exists only for sake of efficiency. The implementation inherited from the abstract implementation would already work.
      • compareTo

        public int compareTo​(java.util.List<? extends java.lang.Character> l)
        Description copied from class: AbstractCharList
        Compares this list to another object. If the argument is a List, this method performs a lexicographical comparison; otherwise, it throws a ClassCastException.
        Specified by:
        compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<java.util.List<? extends java.lang.Character>>
        Overrides:
        compareTo in class AbstractCharList
        Parameters:
        l - a list.
        Returns:
        if the argument is a List, a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this list is lexicographically less than, equal to, or greater than the argument.
