Method Detail

objectListIterator

public ObjectListIterator objectListIterator()
Returns a type-specific list iterator on the list.

The iterator returned by the List.listIterator() method and by this method are identical; however, using this method you can save a type casting.

See Also:
List.listIterator()

objectListIterator

public ObjectListIterator objectListIterator(int index)
Returns a type-specific list iterator on the list starting at a given index.

The iterator returned by the List.listIterator() method and by this method are identical; however, using this method you can save a type casting.

See Also:
List.listIterator(int)

referenceSubList

public ReferenceList referenceSubList(int from,
                                      int to)
See Also:
List.subList(int,int)

size

public void size(int size)
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.

Parameters:
size - the new size.

getElements

public void getElements(int from,
                        Object[] a,
                        int offset,
                        int length)
Copies (hopefully quickly) elements of this type-specific list into the given array.

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 (hopefully quickly) elements of this type-specific list.

Parameters:
from - the start index (inclusive).
to - the end index (exclusive).
