Method Detail

add

public boolean add(double element)
Ensures that I contain the specified element (optional operation). Returns true iff I changed as a result of this call.

If a collection refuses to add the specified element for any reason other than that it already contains the element, it must throw an exception (rather than simply returning false). This preserves the invariant that a collection always contains the specified element after this call returns.

Parameters: element the value whose presence within me is to be ensured

Returns: true iff I changed as a result of this call

Throws: UnsupportedOperationException when this operation is not supported IllegalArgumentException may be thrown if some aspect of the specified element prevents it from being added to me

addAll

public boolean addAll(DoubleCollection c)
Adds all of the elements in the specified collection to me (optional operation).

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

Throws: UnsupportedOperationException when this operation is not supported IllegalArgumentException may be thrown if some aspect of some specified element prevents it from being added to me

clear

public void clear()
Removes all my elements (optional operation). I will be empty after this method successfully returns.

Throws: UnsupportedOperationException when this operation is not supported

contains

public boolean contains(double element)
Returns true iff I contain the specified element.

Parameters: element the value whose presence within me is to be tested

Returns: true iff I contain the specified element

containsAll

public boolean containsAll(DoubleCollection c)
Returns true iff I contain all of the elements in the given collection.

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()
Returns true iff I contain no elements.

Returns: true iff I contain no elements.

iterator

public DoubleIterator iterator()
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.

Returns: an iterator over all my elements.

removeAll

public boolean removeAll(DoubleCollection c)
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.

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

Throws: UnsupportedOperationException when this operation is not supported

removeElement

public boolean removeElement(double element)
Removes a single occurrence of the specified element (optional operation).

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

Throws: UnsupportedOperationException when this operation is not supported

retainAll

public boolean retainAll(DoubleCollection c)
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.

Parameters: c the collection of elements to retain

Returns: true iff I changed as a result of this call

Throws: UnsupportedOperationException when this operation is not supported

size

public int size()
Returns the number of elements I contain.

Returns: the number of elements I contain

toArray

public double[] toArray()
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.

Returns: an array containing all my elements

toArray

public double[] toArray(double[] a)
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.

Parameters: a an array that may be used to contain the elements

Returns: an array containing all my elements
