  • Method Details

    • copy

      XProcessingBag<E> copy()
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Creates a true copy of this collection which references the same elements as this collection does at the time the method is called. The elements themselves are NOT copied (no deep copying).
      The type of the returned set is the same as of this list if possible.
      Specified by:
      copy in interface Copyable
      Specified by:
      copy in interface XGettingBag<E>
      Specified by:
      copy in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Returns:
      a copy of this list
    • view

      XGettingBag<E> view()
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Creates a view of this collection and returns it. It is a read-only collection, which wraps around this collection and only allows read methods.

      A view is different from immutable collection (XGettingCollection.immure()) in the way, that changes in this collection are still affecting the view. The immutable collection on the other hand has no reference to this collection and changes therefore do not affect the immutable collection.

      Specified by:
      view in interface XGettingBag<E>
      Specified by:
      view in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Returns:
      new read-only collection to view this collection
    • immure

      XImmutableBag<E> immure()
      Provides an instance of an immutable collection type with equal behavior and data as this instance.

      If this instance already is of an immutable collection type, it returns itself.

      Specified by:
      immure in interface XGettingBag<E>
      Specified by:
      immure in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Returns:
      an immutable copy of this collection instance.
