public class CharArrayList

extends AbstractCharList

implements RandomAccess, Cloneable, Serializable

A type-specific array-based list; provides some additional methods that use polymorphism to reduce type juggling.

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 dividing the current length by the golden ratio), 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.

rem

public boolean rem(char k)

Description copied from interface: CharCollection

Note that this method should be called remove(), but the clash with the similarly named index-based method in the List interface forces us to use a distinguished name. For simplicity, the set interfaces reinstates remove().

                char k)

Overrides:

size

public int size()

Specified by:

size in interface List

size

public void size(int size)

Description copied from interface: CharList

Sets the size of this list.

If the specified size is smaller than the current size, the last elements are discarded. Otherwise, they are filled with 0/null/false.

trim

public void trim()

Trims this array list so that the capacity is equal to the size.

See Also:

ArrayList.trimToSize()

trim

public void trim(int n)

Trims the backing array if it is too large. If the current array length is smaller than or equal to n, or if the number of elements is larger than n, this method does nothing. Otherwise, it trims the array length to n.

This method is useful when reusing lists. Clearing a list leaves the array length untouched. If you are reusing a list many times, you can call this method with a typical size to avoid keeping around a very large array just because of a few large transient lists.

Parameters:

n - the threshold for the trimming.

getElements

public void getElements(int from,
                        char[] a,

Copies element of this type-specific list into the given array using optimized system calls.

Specified by:

getElements in interface CharList

Overrides:

getElements in class AbstractCharList

Parameters:

from - the start index (inclusive).

a - the destination array.

offset - the offset into the destination array where to store the first element copied.

length - the number of elements to be copied.

removeElements

public void removeElements(int from,
                           int to)

Removes elements of this type-specific list using optimized system calls.

Specified by:

charListIterator

public CharListIterator charListIterator(int index)

Description copied from interface: CharList

Returns a type-specific list iterator on the list starting at a given index.

The iterator returned by the List.listIterator() method and by this method are identical; however, using this method you can save a type casting.
