Field Detail

elements

protected char[] elements

The array buffer into which the elements of the list are stored. The capacity of the list is the length of this array buffer.

Constructor Detail

CharArrayList

public CharArrayList()

Constructs an empty list.

CharArrayList

public CharArrayList(char[] elements)

Constructs a list containing the specified elements. The initial size and capacity of the list is the length of the array. WARNING: For efficiency reasons and to keep memory usage low, the array is not copied. So if subsequently you modify the specified array directly via the [] operator, be sure you know what you're doing.

Parameters:

elements - the array to be backed by the the constructed list

CharArrayList

public CharArrayList(int initialCapacity)

Constructs an empty list with the specified initial capacity.

Parameters:

initialCapacity - the number of elements the receiver can hold without auto-expanding itself by allocating new internal memory.

Method Detail

add

public void add(char element)

Appends the specified element to the end of this list.

Overrides:

add in class AbstractCharList

Parameters:

element - element to be appended to this list.

beforeInsert

public void beforeInsert(int index,
                char element)

Inserts the specified element before the specified position into the receiver. Shifts the element currently at that position (if any) and any subsequent elements to the right.

Overrides:

beforeInsert in class AbstractCharList

Parameters:

index - index before which the specified element is to be inserted (must be in [0,size]).

element - element to be inserted.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - index is out of range (index < 0 || index > size()).

binarySearchFromTo

public int binarySearchFromTo(char key,
                     int from,
                     int to)

Searches the receiver for the specified value using the binary search algorithm. The receiver must must be sorted (as by the sort method) prior to making this call. If it is not sorted, the results are undefined: in particular, the call may enter an infinite loop. If the receiver contains multiple elements equal to the specified object, there is no guarantee which instance will be found.

Overrides:

binarySearchFromTo in class AbstractCharList

Parameters:

key - the value to be searched for.

from - the leftmost search position, inclusive.

to - the rightmost search position, inclusive.

Returns:

index of the search key, if it is contained in the receiver; otherwise, (-(insertion point) - 1). The insertion point is defined as the the point at which the value would be inserted into the receiver: the index of the first element greater than the key, or receiver.size(), if all elements in the receiver are less than the specified key. Note that this guarantees that the return value will be >= 0 if and only if the key is found.

Sorting, Arrays

clone

public Object clone()

Returns a deep copy of the receiver.

Overrides:

clone in class AbstractCharList

Returns:

a deep copy of the receiver.

copy

public CharArrayList copy()

Returns a deep copy of the receiver; uses clone() and casts the result.

Returns:

a deep copy of the receiver.

countSortFromTo

protected void countSortFromTo(int from,
                   int to,
                   char min,
                   char max)

Sorts the specified range of the receiver into ascending numerical order. The sorting algorithm is a count sort. This algorithm offers guaranteed

Performance: O(Max(n,max-min+1)).

Space requirements: int[max-min+1] buffer.

This algorithm is only applicable if max-min+1 is not large! But if applicable, it usually outperforms quicksort by a factor of 3-4.

Parameters:

to - the index of the last element (inclusive) to be sorted.

min - the smallest element contained in the range.

max - the largest element contained in the range.

Overrides:

elements in class AbstractCharList

Returns:

the elements currently stored.

elements

public AbstractCharList elements(char[] elements)

Sets the receiver's elements to be the specified array (not a copy of it). The size and capacity of the list is the length of the array. WARNING: For efficiency reasons and to keep memory usage low, the array is not copied.

equals

public boolean equals(Object otherObj)

Compares the specified Object with the receiver. Returns true if and only if the specified Object is also an ArrayList of the same type, both Lists have the same size, and all corresponding pairs of elements in the two Lists are identical. In other words, two Lists are defined to be equal if they contain the same elements in the same order.
