Constructor Detail

ICharList

public ICharList()

Method Detail

copy

public ICharList copy()

Returns a shallow copy of this list instance. (the new list will contain the same elements as the source list, i.e. the elements themselves are not copied). This method is identical to clone() except that the result is casted to an ICharList.

Returns:

a clone of this instance

See Also:

clone()

unmodifiableList

public abstract ICharList unmodifiableList()

Returns an unmodifiable view of this list. This method allows modules to provide users with "read-only" access to internal lists. Query operations on the returned list "read through" to the specified list, and attempts to modify the returned list, whether direct or via its iterator, result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

Returns:

an unmodifiable view of the specified list

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Returns a shallow copy of this list instance. (The elements themselves are not copied).

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a clone of this list instance

clear

public void clear()

resize

public void resize(int len,
          char elem)

Resizes the list so it will afterwards have a size of len. If the list must grow, the specified element elem will be used for filling.

Parameters:

len - length of list

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the range is invalid

size

If source and destination list are identical, the method behaves like copy(int, int, int).

Parameters:

srcIndex - index of first element in source list

srcLen - number of elements to copy

dst - destination list

dstIndex - index of first element in destination list

dstLen - number of elements to replace in destination list

type - of elements stored in the list

                int dstIndex,
                int dstLen)

Moves elements from one list to another by setting it to null in the source list. Elements in the source range are set to null, but size of source list does not change. The elements in the specified range in the destination list are removed and the elements specified to be moved are inserted. If source and destination list are identical, the method behaves like move(int, int, int).

Parameters:

src - source list

srcIndex - index of first element in source list

srcLen - number of elements to copy

                  int dstIndex,
                  int dstLen)

Moves elements from one list to another by removing it from the source list. So the size of source list will change. The elements in the specified range in the destination list are removed and the elements specified to be moved are inserted. If source and destination list are identical, the method behaves like drag(int, int, int).

Parameters:

Replaces the specified range with new elements. This method is very powerful as it offers the functionality of many other methods which are therefore only offered for convenience:
- addAll(index, list) -> replaceAll(index, 0, list)
- setAll(index, list) -> replaceAll(index, list.size(), list)
- putAll(index, list) -> replaceAll(index, -1, list)
- initAll(list) -> replaceAll(0, this.size(), list)
- remove(index, list) -> replaceAll(index, list.size(), null)

Parameters:

index - index of first element to replace, use -1 for the position after the last element (this.size())

len - number of elements to replace, use -1 for getting behavior of putAll()

coll - collection with elements which replace the old elements, use null if elements should only be removed

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the range is invalid

rotate

public void rotate(int distance)

Rotate specified elements in the list. The distance argument can be positive or negative: If it is positive, the elements are moved towards the end, if negative, the elements are moved toward the beginning, if distance is 0, the list is not changed.

Parameters:

distance - distance to move the elements

rotate

public void rotate(int index,
          int len,
          int distance)

Rotate specified elements in the list. The distance argument can be positive or negative: If it is positive, the elements are moved towards the end, if negative, the elements are moved toward the beginning, if distance is 0, the list is not changed.

Parameters:

index - index of first element to rotate

len - number of elements to rotate

distance - distance to move the elements

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the ranges are invalid

sort

public void sort()

Sort elements in the list using the specified comparator.

Parameters:

comparator - comparator to use for sorting (null means the elements natural ordering should be used)

See Also:

Arrays.sort(int[])

sort

public abstract void sort(int index,
        int len)

Sort specified elements in the list using the specified comparator.

Parameters:

index - index of first element to sort

len - number of elements to sort

comparator - comparator to use for sorting (null means the elements natural ordering should be used)

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the range is invalid

See Also:

Arrays.sort(int[])

binarySearch

public int binarySearch(char key)

Searches the specified range for an object using the binary search algorithm.

Parameters:

key - the value to be searched for

comparator - the comparator by which the list is ordered. A null value indicates that the elements' natural ordering should be used.

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.

Arrays.binarySearch(long[], long)

binarySearch

public abstract int binarySearch(int index,
               int len,
               char key)

Searches the specified range for an object using the binary search algorithm.

Parameters:

index - index of first element to search

len - number of elements to search

key - the value to be searched for

comparator - the comparator by which the list is ordered. A null value indicates that the elements' natural ordering should be used.

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.

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the range is invalid
