        Ensures that this array list can contain the given number of entries without resizing.
        Parameters:
        capacity - the new minimum capacity for this array list.
      • 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().
        Specified by:
        rem in interface CharCollection
        Overrides:
        rem in class AbstractCharList
        See Also:
        Collection.remove(Object)
      • 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.

        Specified by:
        size in interface CharList
        Overrides:
        size in class AbstractCharList
        Parameters:
        size - the new size.
      • 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, this method does nothing. Otherwise, it trims the array length to the maximum between n and size().

        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,
                                int offset,
                                int length)
        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:
        removeElements in interface CharList
        Overrides:
        removeElements in class AbstractCharList
        Parameters:

                                int length)
        Adds elements to this type-specific list using optimized system calls.
        Specified by:

        length - the number of elements to add.
      • toCharArray

        public char[] toCharArray​(char[] a)
        Description copied from interface: CharCollection
        Returns a primitive type array containing the items of this collection.

        Note that, contrarily to Collection.toArray(Object[]), this methods just writes all elements of this collection: no special value will be added after the last one.

        Specified by:
        toCharArray in interface CharCollection
        Overrides:
        toCharArray in class AbstractCharCollection
        Parameters:
        a - if this array is big enough, it will be used to store this collection.
        Returns:
        a primitive type array containing the items of this collection.
        See Also:
        Collection.toArray(Object[])
      • equals

        public boolean equals​(CharArrayList l)
        Compares this type-specific array list to another one.

        This method exists only for sake of efficiency. The implementation inherited from the abstract implementation would already work.

        Parameters:
        l - a type-specific array list.
        Returns:
        true if the argument contains the same elements of this type-specific array list.
      • compareTo

        public int compareTo​(CharArrayList l)
        Compares this array list to another array list.

        This method exists only for sake of efficiency. The implementation inherited from the abstract implementation would already work.

        Parameters:
        l - an array list.
        Returns:
        a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this list is lexicographically less than, equal to, or greater than the argument.
