Class AbstractLongCollection

  extended by org.apache.commons.collections.primitives.AbstractLongCollection
All Implemented Interfaces:
LongCollection
Direct Known Subclasses:
RandomAccessLongList

public abstract class AbstractLongCollection
extends java.lang.Object
implements LongCollection

Abstract base class for LongCollections.

Read-only subclasses must override iterator() and size(). Mutable subclasses should also override add(long) and LongIterator.remove. All other methods have at least some base implementation derived from these. Subclasses may choose to override these methods to provide a more efficient implementation.

AbstractLongCollection

protected AbstractLongCollection()
Method Detail

iterator

public abstract LongIterator iterator()
Description copied from interface: LongCollection
Returns an iterator over all my elements. This base interface places no constraints on the order in which the elements are returned by the returned iterator.

Specified by:
iterator in interface LongCollection
Returns:
an iterator over all my elements.

size

public abstract int size()
Description copied from interface: LongCollection
Returns the number of elements I contain.

Specified by:
size in interface LongCollection
Returns:
the number of elements I contain

add

public boolean add(long element)
Unsupported in this base implementation.

Specified by:
add in interface LongCollection
Parameters:
element - the value whose presence within me is to be ensured
Returns:
true iff I changed as a result of this call

addAll

public boolean addAll(LongCollection c)
Description copied from interface: LongCollection
Adds all of the elements in the specified collection to me (optional operation).

Specified by:
addAll in interface LongCollection
Parameters:
c - the collection of elements whose presence within me is to be ensured
Returns:
true iff I changed as a result of this call

clear

public void clear()
Description copied from interface: LongCollection
Removes all my elements (optional operation). I will be empty after this method successfully returns.

Specified by:
clear in interface LongCollection

contains

public boolean contains(long element)
Description copied from interface: LongCollection
Returns true iff I contain the specified element.

Specified by:
contains in interface LongCollection
Parameters:
element - the value whose presence within me is to be tested
Returns:
true iff I contain the specified element

containsAll

public boolean containsAll(LongCollection c)
Description copied from interface: LongCollection
Returns true iff I contain all of the elements in the given collection.

Specified by:
containsAll in interface LongCollection
Parameters:
c - the collection of elements whose presence within me is to be tested
Returns:
true iff I contain the all the specified elements

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()
Description copied from interface: LongCollection
Returns true iff I contain no elements.

Specified by:
isEmpty in interface LongCollection
Returns:
true iff I contain no elements.

removeElement

public boolean removeElement(long element)
Description copied from interface: LongCollection
Removes a single occurrence of the specified element (optional operation).

Specified by:
removeElement in interface LongCollection
Parameters:
element - the element to remove, if present
Returns:
true iff I contained the specified element, in other words, iff I changed as a result of this call

removeAll

public boolean removeAll(LongCollection c)
Description copied from interface: LongCollection
Removes all of my elements that are contained in the specified collection (optional operation). The behavior of this method is unspecified if the given collection is modified while this method is executing. Note that this includes the case in which the given collection is this collection, and it is not empty.

Specified by:
removeAll in interface LongCollection
Parameters:
c - the collection of elements to remove
Returns:
true iff I contained the at least one of the specified elements, in other words, returns true iff I changed as a result of this call

retainAll

public boolean retainAll(LongCollection c)
Description copied from interface: LongCollection
Removes all of my elements that are not contained in the specified collection (optional operation). (In other words, retains only my elements that are contained in the specified collection.) The behavior of this method is unspecified if the given collection is modified while this method is executing.

Specified by:
retainAll in interface LongCollection
Parameters:
c - the collection of elements to retain
Returns:
true iff I changed as a result of this call

toArray

public long[] toArray()
Description copied from interface: LongCollection
Returns an array containing all of my elements. The length of the returned array will be equal to my size.

The returned array will be independent of me, so that callers may modify that returned array without modifying this collection.

When I guarantee the order in which elements are returned by an iterator, the returned array will contain elements in the same order.

Specified by:
toArray in interface LongCollection
Returns:
an array containing all my elements

toArray

public long[] toArray(long[] a)
Description copied from interface: LongCollection
Returns an array containing all of my elements, using the given array if it is large enough. When the length of the given array is larger than the number of elements I contain, values outside of my range will be unchanged.

The returned array will be independent of me, so that callers may modify that returned array without modifying this collection.

When I guarantee the order in which elements are returned by an iterator, the returned array will contain elements in the same order.

Specified by:
toArray in interface LongCollection
Parameters:
a - an array that may be used to contain the elements
Returns:
an array containing all my elements
