    • maxIndex

      long maxIndex​(Comparator<? super E> comparator)
      Specified by:
      maxIndex in interface XGettingSequence<E>

    • minIndex

      long minIndex​(Comparator<? super E> comparator)
      Specified by:
      minIndex in interface XGettingSequence<E>

    • indexOf

      long indexOf​(E element)
      Specified by:
      indexOf in interface XGettingSequence<E>

    • indexBy

      long indexBy​(Predicate<? super E> predicate)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingSequence
      Iterates forwards through the collection and returns the index of the first element that the passed {link Predicate} applies to immediately.
      Stops iterating on the first element that the predicate applies to.

      Basically the opposite of XGettingSequence.lastIndexBy(Predicate)

      Specified by:
      indexBy in interface XGettingSequence<E>
      Parameters:
      predicate - to define a valid element
      Returns:
      The index of the first positively tested element.

    • lastIndexOf

      long lastIndexOf​(E element)
      Specified by:
      lastIndexOf in interface XGettingSequence<E>

    • lastIndexBy

      long lastIndexBy​(Predicate<? super E> predicate)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingSequence
      Iterates backwards through the collection and returns the index of the last element that the passed Predicate applies to immediately.
      Stops iterating on the first element that the predicate applies to.

      Basically the opposite of XGettingSequence.indexBy(Predicate).
      Similar but not the same as XGettingSequence.scan(Predicate), since scan iterates through all elements.

      Specified by:
      lastIndexBy in interface XGettingSequence<E>
      Parameters:
      predicate - to define a valid element
      Returns:
      the index of the last positively tested element.

    • scan

      long scan​(Predicate<? super E> predicate)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingSequence
      Iterates through the collection and returns the index of the last element that the passed Predicate applied to ("scanning").

      In order to find the last element, this method must iterate over all elements of the collection (opposed to XGettingSequence.indexBy(Predicate) and XGettingSequence.lastIndexBy(Predicate)).

      Iteration can be safely canceled with a ThrowBreak (X.BREAK)

      Specified by:
      scan in interface XGettingSequence<E>
      Parameters:
      predicate - to define a valid element
      Returns:
      the index of the last positively tested element.

      Specified by:
      isSorted in interface XGettingSequence<E>
      Parameters:
      comparator - defines if elements are sorted
      Returns:
      true if it sorted, false if not

    • copySelection

      <T extends Consumer<? super E>> T copySelection​(T target, long... indices)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingSequence
      Iterates through all the elements of the given indices and calls the Consumer.accept(Object) on the target Consumer.
      Specified by:
      copySelection in interface XGettingSequence<E>
      Type Parameters:
      T - type of the target
      Parameters:
      target - on which the Consumer.accept(Object) is called
      indices - of the elements which are copied
      Returns:
      Given target

    • iterator

      Iterator<E> iterator()
      Specified by:
      iterator in interface Iterable<E>
      Specified by:
      iterator in interface XGettingCollection<E>

    • toArray

      Object[] toArray()
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Returns an array containing all of the elements in this collection.

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

      This method acts as bridge between MicroStream-based collections and Java-native-based APIs.

      Specified by:
      toArray in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Returns:
      an array containing all of the elements in this collection

    • hasVolatileElements

      boolean hasVolatileElements()
      Description copied from interface: ExtendedCollection
      Tells if this collection contains volatile elements.
      An element is volatile, if it can become no longer reachable by the collection without being removed from the collection. Examples are WeakReference of SoftReference or implementations of collection entries that remove the element contained in an entry by some means outside the collection.
      Note that WeakReference instances that are added to a a simple (non-volatile) implementation of a collection do not make the collection volatile, as the elements themselves (the reference instances) are still strongly referenced.
      Specified by:
      hasVolatileElements in interface ExtendedCollection<E>
      Specified by:
      hasVolatileElements in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Returns:
      true if the collection contains volatile elements.

    • size

      long size()
      Specified by:
      size in interface Sized
      Specified by:
      size in interface XGettingCollection<E>

    • isEmpty

      boolean isEmpty()
      Specified by:
      isEmpty in interface Sized

    • equality

      Equalator<? super E> equality()
      Specified by:
      equality in interface XGettingCollection<E>

    • toArray

      E[] toArray​(Class<E> type)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Returns a typed array containing all of the elements in this collection.

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

      This method acts as bridge between MicroStream-based collections and Java-native-based APIs.

      Specified by:
      toArray in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Parameters:
      type - the Class representing type E at runtime.
      Returns:
      a typed array containing all of the elements in this collection

    • equals

      boolean equals​(XGettingCollection<? extends E> samples, Equalator<? super E> equalator)
      Specified by:
      equals in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Parameters:
      samples - is the collection which is checked for equality
      equalator - is used to check the equality of the collections
      Returns:
      true if the passed collection is of the same type as this collection and this.equalsContent(list, equalator) yields true

    • equalsContent

      boolean equalsContent​(XGettingCollection<? extends E> samples, Equalator<? super E> equalator)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Returns true if all elements of this list and the passed list are sequentially equal as defined by the passed equalator.

      Note that for colletion types that don't have a defined order of elements, this method is hardly usable (as is XGettingCollection.equals(Object) for them as defined in Collection). The core problem of comparing collections that have no defined order is that they aren't really reliably comparable to any other collection.

      Specified by:
      equalsContent in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Parameters:
      samples - is the collection which is checked for equality
      equalator - the equalator to use to determine the equality of each element
      Returns:
      true if this list is equal to the passed list, false otherwise

    • containsId

      boolean containsId​(E element)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Special version of contains() that guarantees to use identity comparison (" == ") when searching for the given element regardless of the collection's internal logic.
      This method has the same behavior as XGettingCollection.containsSearched(Predicate) with a Predicate implementation that checks for object identity. The only difference is a performance and usability advantage
      Specified by:
      containsId in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Parameters:
      element - the element to be searched in the collection by identity.
      Returns:
      whether this collection contains exactly the given element.

    • contains

      boolean contains​(E element)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Checks if the given element is contained in the collection.

      Parameters:
      predicate - that's tested on each element.
      Returns:
      If all elements test successfully, true is returned. Otherwise (if at least one test has failed), false is returned.

    • count

      long count​(E element)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Count how many times this element matches another element in the collection using the Equalator.

      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Returns the first contained element matching the passed sample as defined by the collection's equality logic or null, if no fitting element is contained. (For collections using referential equality, this method is basically just a variation of XGettingCollection.contains(Object) with a different return type. For collections with data-dependant equality, the returned element might be the same as the passed one or a data-wise equal one, depending on the content of the collection)
      Specified by:
      seek in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Parameters:

    • copy

      XReferencing<E> copy()
      Description copied from interface: XGettingSequence
      Creates a true copy of this list which references the same elements in the same order as this list does at the time the method is called. The elements themselves are NOT copied (no deep copying).
      The type of the returned list is the same as of this list if possible (i.e.: a SubList can not meaningful return a true copy that references its elements but still is a SubList)

    • toReversed

      XReferencing<E> toReversed()
      Description copied from interface: XGettingSequence
      Creates a new XGettingSequence with the reversed order of elements.

      This method creates a new collection and does not change the existing collection.

      Returns:
      New copy of the collection

    • view

      XReferencing<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.

    • view

      XReferencing<E> view​(long lowIndex, long highIndex)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingSequence
      Creates a sub-view of this collection and returns it. It is a read-only collection, which wraps around this collection and only allows read methods.
      The view is limited to a range from the lowIndex to the highIndex.

      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 XGettingSequence<E>
      Parameters:
      lowIndex - defines lower boundary for the view of the collection.
      highIndex - defines higher boundary for the view of the collection.
      Returns:
      new read-only collection to view a range of elements in this collection
