Interface PrimitiveArray<ArrayType,BaseType>

Type Parameters:

ArrayType - Type of the primitive array; e.g., double[].

BaseType - Boxed type of the array element; e.g., Double.

All Superinterfaces:

Collection<BaseType>, Iterable<BaseType>, List<BaseType>, Sizable

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractPrimitiveArray, BoolArray, ByteArray, CharArray, DoubleArray, FloatArray, IntArray, LongArray, ObjectArray, ShortArray

public interface PrimitiveArray<ArrayType,BaseType>
extends List<BaseType>, Sizable

Interface for primitive-type extensible arrays, modeled after ArrayList, but more performant.

For primitive type arrays, ArrayList is not a good choice because it uses boxing and unboxing to store the elements, leading to a large memory footprint as well as performance penalties.

Method Detail

getArray

ArrayType getArray()

Gets the fixed-size array backing this instance.

Returns:

the backing array

setArray

void setArray(ArrayType array)

Sets the fixed-size array backing this instance.

Parameters:

array - the new backing array

getMaximumGrowth

int getMaximumGrowth()

Gets the maximal step size by which to grow the fixed-size array when running out of space.

setMaximumGrowth

void setMaximumGrowth(int growth)

Sets the maximal step size by which to grow the fixed-size array when running out of space.

copyArray

ArrayType copyArray()

Returns a copy of the primitive-array array.

The returned array is guaranteed to have List.size() elements.

Returns:

the fixed-size array

capacity

int capacity()

Gets the current capacity of the backing array.

ensureCapacity

void ensureCapacity(int minCapacity)

Makes sure the backing array at least a specified capacity.

After calling this method, the internal array will have at least minCapacity elements.

Parameters:

minCapacity - the minimum capacity

insert

void insert(int index,
            int count)

Shifts the array to insert space at a specified index.

Parameters:

index - the index where the space should be inserted

count - the number of values to insert

delete

void delete(int index,
            int count)

Shifts the array to delete space starting at a specified index.

Parameters:

index - the index where the space should be deleted

count - the number of values to delete

defaultValue

BaseType defaultValue()
