public class CircularArrayList
extends java.util.AbstractList
implements java.util.List, java.util.RandomAccess, java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable

Resizable-array implementation of the List interface. Implements all optional list operations, and permits all elements, including null. (This class is roughly equivalent to ArrayList, except that it is optimized for removing elements at the front and back of the list to facilitate use as a queue or deque.

The size, isEmpty, get, set, iterator, and listIterator operations run in constant time. The add operation runs in amortized constant time, that is, adding n elements requires O(n) time. All of the other operations run in linear time (roughly speaking). The constant factor is low compared to that for the LinkedList implementation.

Each CircularArrayList instance has a capacity. The capacity is the size of the array used to store the elements in the list. It is always at least as large as the list size. As elements are added to an CircularArrayList, its capacity grows automatically. The details of the growth policy are not specified beyond the fact that adding an element has constant amortized time cost.

An application can increase the capacity of an CircularArrayList instance before adding a large number of elements using the ensureCapacity operation. This may reduce the amount of incremental reallocation.

Note that this implementation is not synchronized. If multiple threads access a CircularArrayList concurrently, and at least one of the threads modifies the list structurally, it must be synchronized externally. (A structural modification is any operation that adds or deletes one or more elements, or explicitly resizes the backing array; merely setting the value of an element is not a structural modification.) This is typically accomplished by synchronizing on some object that naturally encapsulates the list. If no object exists, the list should be "wrapped" using the Collections.synchronizedList method. This is best done at creation time, to prevent accidental unsynchronized access to the list:

        List list = Collections.synchronizedList(new CircularArrayList(...));
 

The iterators returned by this class's iterator and listIterator methods are fail-fast: if list is structurally modified at any time after the iterator is created, in any way except through the iterator's own remove or add methods, the iterator will throw a ConcurrentModificationException. Thus, in the face of concurrent modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than risking arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the future.

Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification. Fail-fast iterators throw ConcurrentModificationException on a best-effort basis. Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this exception for its correctness: the fail-fast behavior of iterators should be used only to detect bugs.

size in interface java.util.Collection
Specified by:
size in interface java.util.List
Specified by:
size in class java.util.AbstractCollection
Returns:
the number of elements in this collection.

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()
Returns true if this collection contains no elements.

This implementation returns size() == 0.

Specified by:
isEmpty in interface java.util.Collection
Specified by:
isEmpty in interface java.util.List
Overrides:
isEmpty in class java.util.AbstractCollection
Returns:
true if this collection contains no elements.

contains

public boolean contains(java.lang.Object o)
Returns true if this collection contains the specified element. More formally, returns true if and only if this collection contains at least one element e such that (o==null ? e==null : o.equals(e)).

This implementation iterates over the elements in the collection, checking each element in turn for equality with the specified element.

Specified by:
contains in interface java.util.Collection
Specified by:
contains in interface java.util.List
Overrides:
contains in class java.util.AbstractCollection
Parameters:
o - object to be checked for containment in this collection.
Returns:
true if this collection contains the specified element.

indexOf

public int indexOf(java.lang.Object o)
Search for the first occurence of the given argument, testing for equality using the equals method.
Specified by:
indexOf in interface java.util.List
Overrides:

public int lastIndexOf(java.lang.Object o)

Parameters:
o - the element to search for
Returns:
the index of the last occurrence of the specified object in this list; returns -1 if the object is not found

toArray

public java.lang.Object[] toArray()
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this collection. If the collection 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 the collection. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array even if the collection is backed by an Array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.

This implementation allocates the array to be returned, and iterates over the elements in the collection, storing each object reference in the next consecutive element of the array, starting with element 0.

Specified by:
toArray in interface java.util.Collection
Specified by:
toArray in interface java.util.List
Overrides:
toArray in class java.util.AbstractCollection
Returns:
an array containing all of the elements in this collection.
See Also:
Arrays.asList(Object[])

toArray

public java.lang.Object[] toArray(java.lang.Object[] ao)
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this collection; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the collection fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this collection.

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

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

This implementation checks if the array is large enough to contain the collection; if not, it allocates a new array of the correct size and type (using reflection). Then, it iterates over the collection, storing each object reference in the next consecutive element of the array, starting with element 0. If the array is larger than the collection, a null is stored in the first location after the end of the collection.

Specified by:
toArray in interface java.util.Collection
Specified by:
toArray in interface java.util.List
Overrides:
toArray in class java.util.AbstractCollection
Parameters:
ao - the array into which the elements of the collection are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose.
Returns:
an array containing the elements of the collection.

add

public boolean add(java.lang.Object o)
Appends the specified element to the end of this List (optional operation).

This implementation calls add(size(), o).

Specified by:
add in interface java.util.List
Overrides:
add in class java.util.AbstractList
Parameters:
o - element to be appended to this list.

true (as per the general contract of Collection.add).

add

public void add(int index,
                java.lang.Object o)

Overrides:
add in class java.util.AbstractList
Parameters:
index - the index at which the specified element will be inserted
o - the element to be inserted

index - the index of the element to removed
Returns:
the element that was removed from the list

clear

clear in class java.util.AbstractList

addAll

public boolean addAll(java.util.Collection c)
Appends all of the elements in the specified Collection to the end of this list, in the order that they are returned by the specified Collection's Iterator. The behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified Collection is modified while the operation is in progress. (This implies that the behavior of this call is undefined if the specified Collection is this list, and this list is nonempty.)

Overrides:
addAll in class java.util.AbstractCollection
