Obeys the general contract of `List.listIterator(int)`. The list-iterator is _fail-fast_: if the list is structurally modified at any time after the Iterator is created, in any way except through the list-iterator's own `remove` or `add` methods, the list-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.

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 array-based and collection-based APIs.

If the list 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 list. If the list fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than the list), the element in the array immediately following the end of the list is set to `null`. (This is useful in determining the length of the list _only_ if the caller knows that the list does not contain any null elements.) Like the [toArray()](../../java/util/LinkedList.html#toArray--) method, this method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs. Further, this method allows precise control over the runtime type of the output array, and may, under certain circumstances, be used to save allocation costs. Suppose `x` is a list known to contain only strings. The following code can be used to dump the list into a newly allocated array of `String`: String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]); Note that `toArray(new Object[0])` is identical in function to`toArray()`.
