Direct Known Subclasses:

LinkedList

public abstract class AbstractSequentialList

extends AbstractList

This class provides a skeletal implementation of the List interface to minimize the effort required to implement this interface backed by a "sequential access" data store (such as a linked list). For random access data (such as an array), AbstractList should be used in preference to this class.

This class is the opposite of the AbstractList class in the sense that it implements the "random access" methods (get(int index),set(int index, E element), add(int index, E element) andremove(int index)) on top of the list's list iterator, instead of the other way around.

To implement a list the programmer needs only to extend this class and provide implementations for the listIterator and size methods. For an unmodifiable list, the programmer need only implement the list iterator's hasNext, next, hasPrevious,previous and index methods.

For a modifiable list the programmer should additionally implement the list iterator's set method. For a variable-size list the programmer should additionally implement the list iterator's remove andadd methods.

The programmer should generally provide a void (no argument) and collection constructor, as per the recommendation in the Collection interface specification.

This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

AbstractSequentialList

protected AbstractSequentialList()

Sole constructor. (For invocation by subclass constructors, typically implicit.)

get

public E get(int index)

Returns the element at the specified position in this list.

This implementation first gets a list iterator pointing to the indexed element (with listIterator(index)). Then, it gets the element using ListIterator.next and returns it.

Specified by:

[get](../../java/util/List.html#get%28int%29) in interface [List](../../java/util/List.html "interface in java.util")<[E](../../java/util/AbstractSequentialList.html "type parameter in AbstractSequentialList")>

Specified by:

[get](../../java/util/AbstractList.html#get%28int%29) in class [AbstractList](../../java/util/AbstractList.html "class in java.util")<[E](../../java/util/AbstractSequentialList.html "type parameter in AbstractSequentialList")>

Parameters:

index - index of the element to return

Returns:

the element at the specified position in this list

Throws:

[IndexOutOfBoundsException](../../java/lang/IndexOutOfBoundsException.html "class in java.lang") - if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index >= size())

set

public E set(int index, E element)

Replaces the element at the specified position in this list with the specified element (optional operation).

This implementation first gets a list iterator pointing to the indexed element (with listIterator(index)). Then, it gets the current element using ListIterator.next and replaces it with ListIterator.set.

Note that this implementation will throw anUnsupportedOperationException if the list iterator does not implement the set operation.

Specified by:

[set](../../java/util/List.html#set%28int, E%29) in interface [List](../../java/util/List.html "interface in java.util")<[E](../../java/util/AbstractSequentialList.html "type parameter in AbstractSequentialList")>

Overrides:

Parameters:

index - index of the element to replace

element - element to be stored at the specified position

Returns:

the element previously at the specified position

Throws:

[UnsupportedOperationException](../../java/lang/UnsupportedOperationException.html "class in java.lang") - if the set operation is not supported by this list

[ClassCastException](../../java/lang/ClassCastException.html "class in java.lang") - if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list

[NullPointerException](../../java/lang/NullPointerException.html "class in java.lang") - if the specified element is null and this list does not permit null elements

[IllegalArgumentException](../../java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.html "class in java.lang") - if some property of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list

[IndexOutOfBoundsException](../../java/lang/IndexOutOfBoundsException.html "class in java.lang") - if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index >= size())

add

public void add(int index, E element)

Inserts the specified element at the specified position in this list (optional operation). Shifts the element currently at that position (if any) and any subsequent elements to the right (adds one to their indices).

This implementation first gets a list iterator pointing to the indexed element (with listIterator(index)). Then, it inserts the specified element with ListIterator.add.

Note that this implementation will throw anUnsupportedOperationException if the list iterator does not implement the add operation.

Specified by:

[add](../../java/util/List.html#add%28int, E%29) in interface [List](../../java/util/List.html "interface in java.util")<[E](../../java/util/AbstractSequentialList.html "type parameter in AbstractSequentialList")>

Parameters:

index - index at which the specified element is to be inserted

element - element to be inserted

Throws:

[UnsupportedOperationException](../../java/lang/UnsupportedOperationException.html "class in java.lang") - if the add operation is not supported by this list

[ClassCastException](../../java/lang/ClassCastException.html "class in java.lang") - if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list

[NullPointerException](../../java/lang/NullPointerException.html "class in java.lang") - if the specified element is null and this list does not permit null elements

[IllegalArgumentException](../../java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.html "class in java.lang") - if some property of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list

[IndexOutOfBoundsException](../../java/lang/IndexOutOfBoundsException.html "class in java.lang") - if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index > size())

remove

public E remove(int index)

Removes the element at the specified position in this list (optional operation). Shifts any subsequent elements to the left (subtracts one from their indices). Returns the element that was removed from the list.

This implementation first gets a list iterator pointing to the indexed element (with listIterator(index)). Then, it removes the element with ListIterator.remove.

Note that this implementation will throw anUnsupportedOperationException if the list iterator does not implement the remove operation.

Specified by:

[remove](../../java/util/List.html#remove%28int%29) in interface [List](../../java/util/List.html "interface in java.util")<[E](../../java/util/AbstractSequentialList.html "type parameter in AbstractSequentialList")>

Overrides:

[remove](../../java/util/AbstractList.html#remove%28int%29) in class [AbstractList](../../java/util/AbstractList.html "class in java.util")<[E](../../java/util/AbstractSequentialList.html "type parameter in AbstractSequentialList")>

Parameters:

index - the index of the element to be removed

Returns:

the element previously at the specified position

Throws:

[UnsupportedOperationException](../../java/lang/UnsupportedOperationException.html "class in java.lang") - if the remove operation is not supported by this list

[IndexOutOfBoundsException](../../java/lang/IndexOutOfBoundsException.html "class in java.lang") - if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index >= size())

addAll

public boolean addAll(int index, Collection<? extends E> c)

Inserts all of the elements in the specified collection into this list at the specified position (optional operation). Shifts the element currently at that position (if any) and any subsequent elements to the right (increases their indices). The new elements will appear in 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. (Note that this will occur if the specified collection is this list, and it's nonempty.)

This implementation gets an iterator over the specified collection and a list iterator over this list pointing to the indexed element (withlistIterator(index)). Then, it iterates over the specified collection, inserting the elements obtained from the iterator into this list, one at a time, using ListIterator.add followed byListIterator.next (to skip over the added element).

Note that this implementation will throw anUnsupportedOperationException if the list iterator returned by the listIterator method does not implement the add operation.

Specified by:

[addAll](../../java/util/List.html#addAll%28int, java.util.Collection%29) in interface [List](../../java/util/List.html "interface in java.util")<[E](../../java/util/AbstractSequentialList.html "type parameter in AbstractSequentialList")>

Overrides:

Parameters:

index - index at which to insert the first element from the specified collection

c - collection containing elements to be added to this list

Returns:

true if this list changed as a result of the call

Throws:

[UnsupportedOperationException](../../java/lang/UnsupportedOperationException.html "class in java.lang") - if the addAll operation is not supported by this list

[ClassCastException](../../java/lang/ClassCastException.html "class in java.lang") - if the class of an element of the specified collection prevents it from being added to this list

[NullPointerException](../../java/lang/NullPointerException.html "class in java.lang") - if the specified collection contains one or more null elements and this list does not permit null elements, or if the specified collection is null

[IllegalArgumentException](../../java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.html "class in java.lang") - if some property of an element of the specified collection prevents it from being added to this list

[IndexOutOfBoundsException](../../java/lang/IndexOutOfBoundsException.html "class in java.lang") - if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index > size())
