Type Parameters:: K - The key type.; E - The element type, which must implement Diff.Element interface.

public class Diff<K,E extends Diff.Element<K>>
extends Object

The difference between the current state and a previous state of a list. Given a previous state of a set and a sequence of create, delete and modify operations such that the current state of the set can be obtained by applying the operations on the previous state, the following algorithm construct the difference between the current state and the previous state of the set.

 Two lists are maintained in the algorithm:
 - c-list for newly created elements
 - d-list for the deleted elements

 Denote the state of an element by the following
   (0, 0): neither in c-list nor d-list
   (c, 0): in c-list but not in d-list
   (0, d): in d-list but not in c-list
   (c, d): in both c-list and d-list

 For each case below, ( , ) at the end shows the result state of the element.

 Case 1. Suppose the element i is NOT in the previous state.           (0, 0)
   1.1. create i in current: add it to c-list                          (c, 0)
   1.1.1. create i in current and then create: impossible
   1.1.2. create i in current and then delete: remove it from c-list   (0, 0)
   1.1.3. create i in current and then modify: replace it in c-list    (c', 0)

   1.2. delete i from current: impossible

   1.3. modify i in current: impossible

 Case 2. Suppose the element i is ALREADY in the previous state.       (0, 0)
   2.1. create i in current: impossible

   2.2. delete i from current: add it to d-list                        (0, d)
   2.2.1. delete i from current and then create: add it to c-list      (c, d)
   2.2.2. delete i from current and then delete: impossible
   2.2.2. delete i from current and then modify: impossible

   2.3. modify i in current: put it in both c-list and d-list          (c, d)
   2.3.1. modify i in current and then create: impossible
   2.3.2. modify i in current and then delete: remove it from c-list   (0, d)
   2.3.3. modify i in current and then modify: replace it in c-list    (c', d)

```
  Search the element from the list.
  
  Returns:
  
  -1 if the list is null; otherwise, return the insertion point defined in Collections.binarySearch(List, Object). Note that, when the list is null, -1 is the correct insertion point.

  Returns:
  
  the undo information.

- accessPrevious
```
public Diff.Container<E> accessPrevious(K name)
```
  Find an element in the previous state.
  
  Returns:
  
  null if the element cannot be determined in the previous state since no change is recorded and it should be determined in the current state; otherwise, return a Diff.Container containing the element in the previous state. Note that the element can possibly be null which means that the element is not found in the previous state.
- accessCurrent
```
public Diff.Container<E> accessCurrent(K name)
```
  Find an element in the current state.
  
  Returns:
  
  null if the element cannot be determined in the current state since no change is recorded and it should be determined in the previous state; otherwise, return a Diff.Container containing the element in the current state.

  Returns:
  
  the current state of the list.
- apply2Current
```
public List<E> apply2Current(List<E> current)
```
  Apply the reverse of this diff to current state in order to obtain the previous state.

```
  Combine this diff with a posterior diff. We have the following cases:
```
 1. For (c, 0) in the posterior diff, check the element in this diff:
 1.1 (c', 0)  in this diff: impossible
 1.2 (0, d')  in this diff: put in c-list --> (c, d')
 1.3 (c', d') in this diff: impossible
 1.4 (0, 0)   in this diff: put in c-list --> (c, 0)
 This is the same logic as create(E).
 
 2. For (0, d) in the posterior diff,
 2.1 (c', 0)  in this diff: remove from c-list --> (0, 0)
 2.2 (0, d')  in this diff: impossible
 2.3 (c', d') in this diff: remove from c-list --> (0, d')
 2.4 (0, 0)   in this diff: put in d-list --> (0, d)
 This is the same logic as delete(E).
 
 3. For (c, d) in the posterior diff,
 3.1 (c', 0)  in this diff: replace the element in c-list --> (c, 0)
 3.2 (0, d')  in this diff: impossible
 3.3 (c', d') in this diff: replace the element in c-list --> (c, d')
 3.4 (0, 0)   in this diff: put in c-list and d-list --> (c, d)
 This is the same logic as modify(E, E).
 
```
  Parameters:
  
  posterior - The posterior diff to combine with.
  
  deletedProcesser - process the deleted/overwritten elements in case 2.1, 2.3, 3.1 and 3.3.
- toString
```
public String toString()
```
  Overrides:
