Method Detail

getNoEntryValue

char getNoEntryValue()

Returns the value that is used to represent null. The default value is generally zero, but can be configured during construction of the collection.

Specified by:

getNoEntryValue in interface TCharCollection

Returns:

the value that represents null

size

int size()

Returns the number of elements in this set (its cardinality). If this set contains more than Integer.MAX_VALUE elements, returns Integer.MAX_VALUE.

Specified by:

size in interface TCharCollection

Returns:

the number of elements in this set (its cardinality)

isEmpty

boolean isEmpty()

Returns true if this set contains no elements.

Specified by:

isEmpty in interface TCharCollection

Returns:

true if this set contains no elements

contains

boolean contains(char entry)

Returns true if this set contains the specified element.

Specified by:

contains in interface TCharCollection

Parameters:

entry - an char value

Returns:

true if the set contains the specified element.

iterator

TCharIterator iterator()

Creates an iterator over the values of the set. The iterator supports element deletion.

Specified by:

iterator in interface TCharCollection

Returns:

an TCharIterator value

toArray

char[] toArray()

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this set. If this set makes any guarantees as to what order its elements are returned by its iterator, this method must return the elements in the same order.

The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this set. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array even if this set is backed by an array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.

This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs.

Specified by:

toArray in interface TCharCollection

Returns:

an array containing all the elements in this set

toArray

char[] toArray(char[] dest)

Returns an array containing elements in this set.

If this set fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than this set), the element in the array immediately following the end of the set is set to getNoEntryValue(). (This is useful in determining the length of this set only if the caller knows that this set does not contain any elements representing null.)

If the native array is smaller than the set size, the array will be filled with elements in Iterator order until it is full and exclude the remainder.

If this set makes any guarantees as to what order its elements are returned by its iterator, this method must return the elements in the same order.

Specified by:

toArray in interface TCharCollection

Parameters:

dest - the array into which the elements of this set are to be stored.

Returns:

an char[] containing all the elements in this set

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the specified array is null

add

boolean add(char entry)

Inserts a value into the set.

Specified by:

add in interface TCharCollection

Parameters:

entry - a char value

Returns:

true if the set was modified by the add operation

remove

boolean remove(char entry)

Removes entry from the set.

Specified by:

remove in interface TCharCollection

Parameters:

entry - an char value

Returns:

true if the set was modified by the remove operation.

containsAll

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

Tests the set to determine if all of the elements in collection are present.

Specified by:

containsAll in interface TCharCollection

Parameters:

collection - a Collection value

Returns:

true if all elements were present in the set.

containsAll

boolean containsAll(TCharCollection collection)

Tests the set to determine if all of the elements in TCharCollection are present.

Specified by:

containsAll in interface TCharCollection

Parameters:

collection - a TCharCollection value

Returns:

true if all elements were present in the set.

containsAll

boolean containsAll(char[] array)

Tests the set to determine if all of the elements in array are present.

Specified by:

containsAll in interface TCharCollection

Parameters:

array - as array of char primitives.

Returns:

true if all elements were present in the set.

addAll

boolean addAll(java.util.Collection<? extends java.lang.Character> collection)

Adds all of the elements in collection to the set.

true if the set was modified by the add all operation.

addAll

boolean addAll(TCharCollection collection)

Adds all of the elements in the TCharCollection to the set.

Specified by:

addAll in interface TCharCollection

Parameters:

collection - a TCharCollection value

Returns:

true if the set was modified by the add all operation.

addAll

boolean addAll(char[] array)

Adds all of the elements in the array to the set.

Specified by:

addAll in interface TCharCollection

Parameters:

true if the set was modified by the add all operation.

retainAll

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

Removes any values in the set which are not contained in collection.

Specified by:

retainAll in interface TCharCollection

Parameters:

collection - a Collection value

Returns:

true if the set was modified by the retain all operation

retainAll

boolean retainAll(TCharCollection collection)

Removes any values in the set which are not contained in TCharCollection.

Specified by:

retainAll in interface TCharCollection

Parameters:

collection - a TCharCollection value

Returns:

true if the set was modified by the retain all operation

retainAll

boolean retainAll(char[] array)

Removes any values in the set which are not contained in array.

Specified by:

retainAll in interface TCharCollection

Parameters:

array - an array of char primitives.

Returns:

true if the set was modified by the retain all operation

removeAll

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

Removes all of the elements in collection from the set.

Specified by:

removeAll in interface TCharCollection

Parameters:

collection - a Collection value

Returns:

true if the set was modified by the remove all operation.

removeAll

boolean removeAll(TCharCollection collection)

Removes all of the elements in TCharCollection from the set.

Specified by:

removeAll in interface TCharCollection

Parameters:

collection - a TCharCollection value

Returns:

true if the set was modified by the remove all operation.

removeAll

boolean removeAll(char[] array)

Removes all of the elements in array from the set.

Specified by:

removeAll in interface TCharCollection

Parameters:

array - an array of char primitives.

Returns:

true if the set was modified by the remove all operation.

clear

void clear()

Empties the set.

Specified by:

clear in interface TCharCollection

forEach

boolean forEach(TCharProcedure procedure)

Executes procedure for each element in the set.

Specified by:

forEach in interface TCharCollection

Parameters:

procedure - a TCharProcedure value

Returns:

false if the loop over the set terminated because the procedure returned false for some value.

equals

boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Compares the specified object with this set for equality. Returns true if the specified object is also a set, the two sets have the same size, and every member of the specified set is contained in this set (or equivalently, every member of this set is contained in the specified set). This definition ensures that the equals method works properly across different implementations of the set interface.

Specified by:

equals in interface TCharCollection

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

o - object to be compared for equality with this set

Returns:

true if the specified object is equal to this set

hashCode

int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this set. The hash code of a set is defined to be the sum of the hash codes of the elements in the set. This ensures that s1.equals(s2) implies that s1.hashCode()==s2.hashCode() for any two sets s1 and s2, as required by the general contract of Object.hashCode().

Specified by:

hashCode in interface TCharCollection

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

the hash code value for this set
