public class CharArrayList
extends AbstractCharList
implements RandomAccess, Cloneable, 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 doubling its current length), 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.

      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.

      n - the threshold for the trimming.
