Class CombinedCollection<E>

java.lang.Object

ptolemy.actor.gt.data.CombinedCollection<E>

Type Parameters:

E - The type of elements in the collection.

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Iterable<E>, java.util.Collection<E>

public class CombinedCollection<E>
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Collection<E>

A collection that is the combination of one or more collections. This is a more efficient implementation that copying all the elements of those collections into a new collection and using that collection. No copying is necessary because the component collections are maintained locally and their elements are retrieved only when they are used.

Constructor Detail

CombinedCollection

public CombinedCollection()

Construct a combined collection with no collection as its component.

CombinedCollection

public CombinedCollection(java.util.Collection<? extends E>... collections)

Construct a combined collection with one or more collections as its components. The order of those components coincides with the order of the elements of this combined collection.

Parameters:

collections - The collections.

Method Detail

add

public boolean add(E element)

Add an element to the end of this collection. Component collections are not modified because an extra collection is added to the end that allows to add elements to.

Specified by:

add in interface java.util.Collection<E>

Parameters:

element - The new element.

Returns:

Always true.

addAll

public boolean addAll(java.util.Collection<? extends E> collection)

Add all elements of the provided collection to this collection. The given collection is added as a component of this collection and no copying is involved.

Specified by:

addAll in interface java.util.Collection<E>

Parameters:

collection - The collection to be added.

Returns:

Always true.

clear

public void clear()

Clear this collection by removing all its components.

Specified by:

clear in interface java.util.Collection<E>

contains

public boolean contains(java.lang.Object element)

Test whether this collection contains the given element.

Specified by:

contains in interface java.util.Collection<E>

Parameters:

element - The element.

Returns:

true if the element is contained in this collection.

containsAll

public boolean containsAll(java.util.Collection<?> collection)

Test whether this collection contains all the elements of the given collection.

Specified by:

containsAll in interface java.util.Collection<E>

Parameters:

collection - The collection.

Returns:

true if all the elements are contained in this collection.

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Test whether this collection is empty.

Specified by:

isEmpty in interface java.util.Collection<E>

Returns:

true if it is empty.

iterator

public java.util.Iterator<E> iterator()

Return an iterator to iterate all the elements in this collection.

Specified by:

iterator in interface java.lang.Iterable<E>

Specified by:

iterator in interface java.util.Collection<E>

Returns:

The iterator.

remove

public boolean remove(java.lang.Object element)

Throw a runtime exception because removal is not supported.

Specified by:

remove in interface java.util.Collection<E>

Parameters:

element - The element to be removed.

Returns:

None.

removeAll

public boolean removeAll(java.util.Collection<?> collection)

Throw a runtime exception because removal is not supported.

Specified by:

removeAll in interface java.util.Collection<E>

Parameters:

collection - The collection whose elements are to be removed.

Returns:

None.

retainAll

public boolean retainAll(java.util.Collection<?> collection)

Throw a runtime exception because removal is not supported.

Specified by:

retainAll in interface java.util.Collection<E>

Parameters:

Specified by:

toArray in interface java.util.Collection<E>

Returns:

The array.

toArray

public <T> T[] toArray(T[] array)

Store all the elements in this collection into the given array if its size is enough for the storage, or create a new array of the same type as the given array for the storage and return it.

Specified by:

toArray in interface java.util.Collection<E>

Type Parameters:

T - The element type of the array.

Parameters:

array - The array.

Returns:

The given array, or a new array if the given array is not big enough.
