Collection

public Collection()

Method Detail

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class craterdog.smart.SmartObject<Collection<E>>

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object object)

Overrides:

equals in class craterdog.smart.SmartObject<Collection<E>>

compareTo

public int compareTo(Collection<E> that)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<Collection<E>>

Overrides:

compareTo in class craterdog.smart.SmartObject<Collection<E>>

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Specified by:

isEmpty in interface Sequential<E>

containsElement

public boolean containsElement(E element)

Description copied from interface: Accessible

This method determines if an element is contained in the collection.

Specified by:

containsElement in interface Accessible<E>

Parameters:

element - The element to be checked for in the collection.

Returns:

Whether or not the specified element is contained in the collection.

containsAnyElementsIn

public boolean containsAnyElementsIn(java.lang.Iterable<? extends E> collection)

Description copied from interface: Accessible

This method determines whether any of the specified elements are contained in the collection.

Specified by:

containsAnyElementsIn in interface Accessible<E>

Parameters:

collection - The elements to be checked for in the collection.

Returns:

Whether or not any of the specified elements are contained in the collection.

containsAllElementsIn

public boolean containsAllElementsIn(java.lang.Iterable<? extends E> collection)

Description copied from interface: Accessible

This method determines whether all of the specified elements are contained in the collection.

Specified by:

containsAllElementsIn in interface Accessible<E>

Parameters:

collection - The elements to be checked for in the collection.

Returns:

Whether or not all of the specified elements are contained in the collection.

toArray

public E[] toArray()

Specified by:

toArray in interface Sequential<E>

iterator

public final Iterator<E> iterator()

Specified by:

iterator in interface java.lang.Iterable<E>

normalizedIndex

protected final int normalizedIndex(int index)

This method converts negative indexes into their corresponding positive indexes and then checks to make sure the index is in the range [1..size]. The mapping between indexes is as follows:

 Negative Indexes:   -N      -N + 1     -N + 2     -N + 3   ...   -1
 Positive Indexes:    1         2          3          4     ...    N
 

Parameters:

index - The index to be normalized.

Returns:

The normalized [1..N] index.
