Class CharBigList

java.lang.Object

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, CharSequence, Cloneable
Direct Known Subclasses:
CharBigList.ReadOnlyCharBigList

public class CharBigList extends ICharList
CharBigList is a list optimized for storing large number of elements. It stores the elements in fixed size blocks and the blocks itself are maintained in a tree for fast access. It also offers specialized methods for bulk processing of elements. Also copying a CharBigList is efficiently possible as its implemented using a copy-on-write approach.

Note that this implementation is not synchronized. Due to data caching used for exploiting locality of reference, performance can decrease if CharBigList is accessed by several threads at different positions.

Note that the iterators provided are not fail-fast.

    • crop

      public CharBigList crop()
      Description copied from class: ICharList
      Returns a copy this list but without elements. The new list will have the same type as this list.
      Overrides:
      crop in class ICharList
      Returns:
      an empty copy of this list
    • isReadOnly

      public boolean isReadOnly()
      Description copied from class: ICharList
      Returns true if this list is either unmodifiable or immutable, false otherwise.
      Specified by:
      isReadOnly in class ICharList
    • copy

      public CharBigList copy()
      Returns a shallow copy of this list. The new list will contain the same elements as the source list, i.e. the elements themselves are not copied. The capacity of the list will be set to the number of elements, i.e. size and capacity are equal. This returned list will be modifiable, i.e. a read-only list will be copied and be modifiable again.

      The copy is realized by a copy-on-write approach so also really large lists can efficiently be handled.

      Specified by:
      copy in class ICharList
      Returns:
      a modifiable copy of this list
    • clone

      public CharBigList clone()
      Returns a shallow copy of this list. The new list will contain the same elements as the source list, i.e. the elements themselves are not copied. The capacity of the list will be set to the number of elements, i.e. size and capacity are equal. If the list is read-only, the same list is returned without change. Use ICharList.copy() to .

      The copy is realized by a copy-on-write approach so also really large lists can efficiently be handled.

      Overrides:
      clone in class ICharList
      Returns:
      a modifiable copy of this list
    • doAssign

      protected void doAssign(ICharList that)
      Description copied from class: ICharList
      Assign this list the content of the that list. This is done by bitwise copying so the that list should not be used afterwards.
      Specified by:
      doAssign in class ICharList
      Parameters:
      that - list to copy content from

    • immutableList

      public CharBigList immutableList()
      Description copied from class: ICharList
      Returns an immutable copy of this list. The returned list is independent from the original list, i.e. changes done later are not seen. Attempts to modify the returned list, whether direct or via its iterator, result in an UnsupportedOperationException. If this list is already immutable, it is returned unchanged. See ICharList.unmodifiableList() to get unmodifiable view of a list.
      Specified by:
      immutableList in class ICharList
      Returns:
      an immutable copy of the specified list

      Parameters:
      minCapacity - the desired minimum capacity

      trimToSize in class ICharList
    • doCreate

      protected ICharList doCreate(int capacity)
      Description copied from class: ICharList
      Create list with specified capacity.
      Specified by:
      doCreate in class ICharList
      Parameters:
      capacity - initial capacity (use -1 for default capacity)
      Returns:
      created list
    • sort

      public void sort(int index, int len)
      Description copied from class: ICharList
      Sort specified elements in the list using the specified comparator.
      Specified by:
      sort in class ICharList
      Parameters:
      index - index of first element to sort
      len - number of elements to sort

    • binarySearch

      public int binarySearch(int index, int len, char key)
      Description copied from class: ICharList
      Searches the specified range for an object using the binary search algorithm.

      Note that the method is defined to work with an arbitrary type <K>. This allows to search directly for a key field in the object without the need to construct an object containing the key:

      persons.binarySearch("john", new SearchByName());
      
      class SearchByName implements Comparator<Object> {
       public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {
         String s1 = (o1 instanceof String) ? (String) o1 : ((Name) o1).getName();
         String s2 = (o2 instanceof String) ? (String) o2 : ((Name) o2).getName();
         return s1.compareTo(s2);
       }
      }
      /
      Specified by:
      binarySearch in class ICharList
      Parameters:
      index - index of first element to search
      len - number of elements to search
      key - the value to be searched for
      Returns:
      index of the search key, if it is contained in the array; otherwise, (-(insertion point) - 1). The insertion point is defined as the point at which the key would be inserted into the array: the index of the first element greater than the key, or a.length if all elements in the array 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.
