Class KeySortedList<K extends Comparable<K>,V>

Type Parameters:
K - The type of keys in the sorted list, to be used for sorting.
V - The type of elements in the list.
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Iterable<V>, Collection<V>, List<V>

public class KeySortedList<K extends Comparable<K>,V> extends AbstractSequentialList<V> implements Serializable
List of elements sorted by a key which is not the element itself.

This class is not thread-safe. Synchronizations (if wanted) are user's reponsability.

    • clear

      public void clear()
      Removes all of the elements from this list.
      Specified by:
      clear in interface Collection<K extends Comparable<K>>
      Specified by:
      clear in interface List<K extends Comparable<K>>
      Overrides:
      clear in class AbstractList<V>
    • size

      public int size()
      Returns the number of elements in this list.
      Specified by:
      size in interface Collection<K extends Comparable<K>>
      Specified by:
      size in interface List<K extends Comparable<K>>
      Specified by:
      size in class AbstractCollection<V>
    • add

      public void add(K key, V element)
      Inserts the specified element at a position determined by the specified key. If some elements were already inserted for the specified key, then this method do not replaces the old value (like what a Map would do), but instead add the new element with the same key.
      Parameters:
      key - Key to be used to find the right location.
      element - Object to be inserted.
    • removeAll

      public int removeAll(K key)
      Removes all values that were added with the specified key.
      Parameters:
      key - The key of values to remove.
      Returns:
      The number of elements removed.
    • count

      public int count(K key)
      Returns the number of elements added with the specified key.
      Parameters:
      key - The key of elements to count.
      Returns:
      The number of elements inserted with the given key.
    • containsKey

      public boolean containsKey(K key)
      Returns true if the list contains an element added with the specified key. This is equivalent to testing count(key) != 0.
    • first

      public V first(K key) throws NoSuchElementException
      Returns the first element added with the specified key.
      Parameters:
      key - The key for the element to search for.
      Returns:
      The first element added with the specified key.
      Throws:
      NoSuchElementException - if there is no element for the specified key.
    • last

      public V last(K key) throws NoSuchElementException
      Returns the last element added with the specified key.
      Parameters:
      key - The key for the element to search for.
      Returns:
      The last element added with the specified key.
      Throws:
      NoSuchElementException - if there is no element for the specified key.
    • listIterator

      public ListIterator<V> listIterator(K fromKey)
      Returns a list iterator of the elements in this list (in proper sequence), starting at the elements added with the specified key.
      Parameters:
      fromKey - The key of the first element to returns.
      Returns:
      A list iterator of the elements in this list (in proper sequence).
      Throws:
      IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is out of range.
    • listIterator

      public ListIterator<V> listIterator(int index)
      Returns a list iterator of the elements in this list (in proper sequence), starting at the specified position. The specified index indicates the first element that would be returned by an initial call to the next() method.
      Specified by:
      listIterator in interface List<K extends Comparable<K>>
      Specified by:
      listIterator in class AbstractSequentialList<V>
      Parameters:
      index - Index of first element to be returned from the list iterator.
      Returns:
      A list iterator of the elements in this list (in proper sequence).
      Throws:
      IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is out of range.
    • headList

      public KeySortedList<K,V> headList(K toKey)
      Returns a view of the portion of this list whose keys are strictly less than toKey. The returned list is backed by this list, so changes in the returned list are reflected in this list, and vice-versa.
      Parameters:
      toKey - high endpoint (exclusive) of the sub list.
      Returns:
      A view of the specified initial range of this list.
    • tailList

      public KeySortedList<K,V> tailList(K fromKey)
      Returns a view of the portion of this list whose keys are greater than or equal to fromKey. The returned list is backed by this list, so changes in the returned list are reflected in this list, and vice-versa.
      Parameters:
      fromKey - low endpoint (inclusive) of the sub list.
      Returns:
      A view of the specified final range of this list.
