Class AbstractCharCollection

java.lang.Object

com.uwyn.jhighlight.pcj.AbstractCharCollection

All Implemented Interfaces:

CharCollection

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractCharSet

public abstract class AbstractCharCollection
extends java.lang.Object
implements CharCollection

This class represents an abstract base for implementing collections of char values. All operations that can be implemented using iterators are implemented as such. In most cases, this is hardly an efficient solution, and at least some of those methods should be overridden by sub-classes.

In this implementation, size() is calculated by iterating over the collection. Make sure that size() is overwritten or that iterators do not depend on the size() method.

Method Detail

add

public boolean add(char v)

Throws UnsupportedOperationException.

Specified by:

add in interface CharCollection

Parameters:

v - the element to add to this collection.

Returns:

true if this collection was modified as a result of adding v; returns false otherwise.

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - unconditionally.

addAll

public boolean addAll(CharCollection c)

Description copied from interface: CharCollection

Adds all the elements of a specified collection to this collection.

Specified by:

addAll in interface CharCollection

Parameters:

c - the collection whose elements to add to this collection.

Returns:

true if this collection was modified as a result of adding the elements of c; returns false otherwise.

clear

public void clear()

Description copied from interface: CharCollection

Clears this collection.

Specified by:

clear in interface CharCollection

contains

public boolean contains(char v)

Description copied from interface: CharCollection

Indicates whether this collection contains a specified element.

Specified by:

contains in interface CharCollection

Parameters:

v - the element to test for containment.

Returns:

true if v is contained in this collection; returns false otherwise.

containsAll

public boolean containsAll(CharCollection c)

Description copied from interface: CharCollection

Indicates whether all elements of a specified collection is contained in this collection.

Specified by:

containsAll in interface CharCollection

Parameters:

c - the collection whose elements to test for containment.

Returns:

true if all the elements of c are contained in this collection; returns false otherwise.

See Also:

CharCollection.contains(char)

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Description copied from interface: CharCollection

Indicates whether this collection is empty.

Specified by:

isEmpty in interface CharCollection

Returns:

true if this collection is empty; returns false otherwise.

remove

public boolean remove(char v)

Description copied from interface: CharCollection

Removes a specified element from this collection.

Specified by:

remove in interface CharCollection

Parameters:

v - the char value to remove from this collection.

Returns:

true if this collection was modified as a result of removing v; returns false otherwise.

removeAll

public boolean removeAll(CharCollection c)

Description copied from interface: CharCollection

Removes all the elements of a specified collection from this collection.

Specified by:

removeAll in interface CharCollection

Parameters:

c - the collection whose elements to remove from this collection.

Returns:

true if this collection was modified as a result of removing the elements of c; returns false otherwise.

retainAll

public boolean retainAll(CharCollection c)

Description copied from interface: CharCollection

Retains only the elements of a specified collection in this collection.

Specified by:

retainAll in interface CharCollection

Parameters:

c - the collection whose elements to retain in this collection.

Returns:

true if this collection was modified as a result of removing the elements not contained in c; returns false otherwise.

size

public int size()

Description copied from interface: CharCollection

Returns the number of elements in this collection.

Specified by:

size in interface CharCollection

Returns:

the number of elements in this collection.

toArray

public char[] toArray()

Description copied from interface: CharCollection

Returns the elements of this collection as an array.

Specified by:

toArray in interface CharCollection

Returns:

a new array containing the elements of this collection.

toArray

public char[] toArray(char[] a)

Description copied from interface: CharCollection

Returns the elements of this collection as an array.

Specified by:

toArray in interface CharCollection

Parameters:

a - an array to fill with the elements of this collection; if a is null or not big enough to contain all the elements of this collection, an new array is allocated, and a is not changed.

Returns:

a, if a has room for all the elements of this collection; otherwise a new array is allocated, filled with the elements of this collection, and returned.

trimToSize

public void trimToSize()

Does nothing. Sub-classes may provide an implementation to minimize memory usage, but this is not required since many implementations will always have minimal memory usage.

Specified by:

trimToSize in interface CharCollection

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string representation of this collection.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a string representation of this collection.
