Interface FixedSizeList<T>

All Superinterfaces:
Cloneable, Collection<T>, FixedSizeCollection<T>, InternalIterable<T>, Iterable<T>, List<T>, ListIterable<T>, MutableCollection<T>, MutableList<T>, OrderedIterable<T>, ReversibleIterable<T>, RichIterable<T>
public interface FixedSizeList<T> extends MutableList<T>, FixedSizeCollection<T>
A FixedSizeList is a list that may be mutated, but cannot grow or shrink in size. The typical mutation allowed for a FixedSizeList implementation is a working implementation for set(int, T). This will allow the FixedSizeList to be sorted.

  • Method Details

    • with

      MutableList<T> with(T element)
      Description copied from interface: MutableCollection
      This method allows mutable and fixed size collections the ability to add elements to their existing elements. In order to support fixed size a new instance of a collection would have to be returned taking the elements of the original collection and appending the new element to form the new collection. In the case of mutable collections, the original collection is modified, and is returned. In order to use this method properly with mutable and fixed size collections the following approach must be taken: 
       MutableCollection<String> list = list.with("1");
 list = list.with("2");
 return list;
      In the case of FixedSizeCollection a new instance of MutableCollection will be returned by with, and any variables that previously referenced the original collection will need to be redirected to reference the new instance. For other MutableCollection types you will replace the reference to collection with the same collection, since the instance will return "this" after calling add on itself.

    • without

      MutableList<T> without(T element)
      Description copied from interface: MutableCollection
      This method allows mutable and fixed size collections the ability to remove elements from their existing elements. In order to support fixed size a new instance of a collection would have to be returned containing the elements that would be left from the original collection after calling remove. In the case of mutable collections, the original collection is modified, and is returned. In order to use this method properly with mutable and fixed size collections the following approach must be taken: 
       MutableCollection<String> list = list.without("1");
 list = list.without("2");
 return list;
      In the case of FixedSizeCollection a new instance of MutableCollection will be returned by without, and any variables that previously referenced the original collection will need to be redirected to reference the new instance. For other MutableCollection types you will replace the reference to collection with the same collection, since the instance will return "this" after calling remove on itself.

    • withAll

      MutableList<T> withAll(Iterable<? extends T> elements)
      Description copied from interface: MutableCollection
      This method allows mutable and fixed size collections the ability to add multiple elements to their existing elements. In order to support fixed size a new instance of a collection would have to be returned taking the elements of the original collection and appending the new elements to form the new collection. In the case of mutable collections, the original collection is modified, and is returned. In order to use this method properly with mutable and fixed size collections the following approach must be taken: 
       MutableCollection<String> list = list.withAll(FastList.newListWith("1", "2"));
      In the case of FixedSizeCollection a new instance of MutableCollection will be returned by withAll, and any variables that previously referenced the original collection will need to be redirected to reference the new instance. For other MutableCollection types you will replace the reference to collection with the same collection, since the instance will return "this" after calling addAll on itself.

      MutableList<T> withoutAll(Iterable<? extends T> elements)
      Description copied from interface: MutableCollection
      This method allows mutable and fixed size collections the ability to remove multiple elements from their existing elements. In order to support fixed size a new instance of a collection would have to be returned containing the elements that would be left from the original collection after calling removeAll. In the case of mutable collections, the original collection is modified, and is returned. In order to use this method properly with mutable and fixed size collections the following approach must be taken: 
       MutableCollection<String> list = list.withoutAll(FastList.newListWith("1", "2"));
      In the case of FixedSizeCollection a new instance of MutableCollection will be returned by withoutAll, and any variables that previously referenced the original collection will need to be redirected to reference the new instance. For other MutableCollection types you will replace the reference to collection with the same collection, since the instance will return "this" after calling removeAll on itself.
