addAllOfFromTo

public void addAllOfFromTo(AbstractCharList other,
                  int from,
                  int to)

beforeInsert

public void beforeInsert(int index,
                char element)

Inserts the specified element before the specified position into the receiver. Shifts the element currently at that position (if any) and any subsequent elements to the right.

Parameters:

index - index before which the specified element is to be inserted (must be in [0,size]).

element - element to be inserted.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - index is out of range ( index < 0 || index > size()).

beforeInsertAllOfFromTo

public void beforeInsertAllOfFromTo(int index,
                           AbstractCharList other,
                           int from,
                           int to)

Inserts the part of the specified list between otherFrom (inclusive) and otherTo (inclusive) before the specified position into the receiver. Shifts the element currently at that position (if any) and any subsequent elements to the right.

Parameters:

index - index before which to insert first element from the specified list (must be in [0,size])..

other - list of which a part is to be inserted into the receiver.

from - the index of the first element to be inserted (inclusive).

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - index is out of range ( other.size()>0 && (from<0 || from>to || to>=other.size()) ).

IndexOutOfBoundsException - index is out of range ( index < 0 || index > size()).

binarySearch

public int binarySearch(char key)

Searches the receiver for the specified value using the binary search algorithm. The receiver must must be sorted (as by the sort method) prior to making this call. If it is not sorted, the results are undefined: in particular, the call may enter an infinite loop. If the receiver contains multiple elements equal to the specified object, there is no guarantee which instance will be found.

Parameters:

key - the value to be searched for.

Returns:

index of the search key, if it is contained in the receiver; otherwise, (-(insertion point) - 1). The insertion point is defined as the the point at which the value would be inserted into the receiver: the index of the first element greater than the key, or receiver.size(), if all elements in the receiver are less than the specified key. Note that this guarantees that the return value will be >= 0 if and only if the key is found.

Arrays

binarySearchFromTo

public int binarySearchFromTo(char key,
                     int from,
                     int to)

Searches the receiver for the specified value using the binary search algorithm. The receiver must must be sorted (as by the sort method) prior to making this call. If it is not sorted, the results are undefined: in particular, the call may enter an infinite loop. If the receiver contains multiple elements equal to the specified object, there is no guarantee which instance will be found.

Parameters:

key - the value to be searched for.

from - the leftmost search position, inclusive.

to - the rightmost search position, inclusive.

Returns:

index of the search key, if it is contained in the receiver; otherwise, (-(insertion point) - 1). The insertion point is defined as the the point at which the value would be inserted into the receiver: the index of the first element greater than the key, or receiver.size(), if all elements in the receiver are less than the specified key. Note that this guarantees that the return value will be >= 0 if and only if the key is found.

mergeSortFromTo

public void mergeSortFromTo(int from,
                   int to)

Sorts the specified range of the receiver into ascending order. The sorting algorithm is a modified mergesort (in which the merge is omitted if the highest element in the low sublist is less than the lowest element in the high sublist). This algorithm offers guaranteed n*log(n) performance, and can approach linear performance on nearly sorted lists.

You should never call this method unless you are sure that this particular sorting algorithm is the right one for your data set. It is generally better to call sort() or sortFromTo(...) instead, because those methods automatically choose the best sorting algorithm.

Specified by:

mergeSortFromTo in class AbstractList

Parameters:

from - the index of the first element (inclusive) to be sorted.

to - the index of the last element (inclusive) to be sorted.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - index is out of range ( size()>0 && (from<0 || from>to || to>=size()) ).

mergeSortFromTo

public void mergeSortFromTo(int from,
                   int to,
                   CharComparator c)

Sorts the receiver according to the order induced by the specified comparator. All elements in the range must be mutually comparable by the specified comparator (that is, c.compare(e1, e2) must not throw a ClassCastException for any elements e1 and e2 in the range).

This sort is guaranteed to be stable: equal elements will not be reordered as a result of the sort.

The sorting algorithm is a modified mergesort (in which the merge is omitted if the highest element in the low sublist is less than the lowest element in the high sublist). This algorithm offers guaranteed n*log(n) performance, and can approach linear performance on nearly sorted lists.

Parameters:

from - the index of the first element (inclusive) to be sorted.

to - the index of the last element (inclusive) to be sorted.

c - the comparator to determine the order of the receiver.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the array contains elements that are not mutually comparable using the specified comparator.

IllegalArgumentException - if fromIndex > toIndex

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if fromIndex < 0 or toIndex > a.length

IndexOutOfBoundsException - index is out of range ( size()>0 && (from<0 || from>to || to>=size()) ).

public AbstractCharList partFromTo(int from,
                          int to)

Returns a new list of the part of the receiver between from, inclusive, and to, inclusive.

Parameters:

from - the index of the first element (inclusive).

to - the index of the last element (inclusive).

Returns:

a new list

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - index is out of range ( size()>0 && (from<0 || from>to || to>=size()) ).

quickSortFromTo

public void quickSortFromTo(int from,
                   int to)

Sorts the specified range of the receiver into ascending numerical order. The sorting algorithm is a tuned quicksort, adapted from Jon L. Bentley and M. Douglas McIlroy's "Engineering a Sort Function", Software-Practice and Experience, Vol. 23(11) P. 1249-1265 (November 1993). This algorithm offers n*log(n) performance on many data sets that cause other quicksorts to degrade to quadratic performance.

You should never call this method unless you are sure that this particular sorting algorithm is the right one for your data set. It is generally better to call sort() or sortFromTo(...) instead, because those methods automatically choose the best sorting algorithm.

Specified by:

quickSortFromTo in class AbstractList

Parameters:

from - the index of the first element (inclusive) to be sorted.

to - the index of the last element (inclusive) to be sorted.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - index is out of range ( size()>0 && (from<0 || from>to || to>=size()) ).

quickSortFromTo

public void quickSortFromTo(int from,
                   int to,
                   CharComparator c)

Sorts the receiver according to the order induced by the specified comparator. All elements in the range must be mutually comparable by the specified comparator (that is, c.compare(e1, e2) must not throw a ClassCastException for any elements e1 and e2 in the range).

The sorting algorithm is a tuned quicksort, adapted from Jon L. Bentley and M. Douglas McIlroy's "Engineering a Sort Function", Software-Practice and Experience, Vol. 23(11) P. 1249-1265 (November 1993). This algorithm offers n*log(n) performance on many data sets that cause other quicksorts to degrade to quadratic performance.

Parameters:

from - the index of the first element (inclusive) to be sorted.

to - the index of the last element (inclusive) to be sorted.

c - the comparator to determine the order of the receiver.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the array contains elements that are not mutually comparable using the specified comparator.

IllegalArgumentException - if fromIndex > toIndex

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if fromIndex < 0 or toIndex > a.length

IndexOutOfBoundsException - index is out of range ( size()>0 && (from<0 || from>to || to>=size()) ).

Specified by:

removeFromTo in class AbstractList

Parameters:

from - index of first element to be removed.

to - index of last element to be removed.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - index is out of range ( size()>0 && (from<0 || from>to || to>=size()) ).

                         int otherFrom)

Replaces a number of elements in the receiver with the same number of elements of another list. Replaces elements in the receiver, between from (inclusive) and to (inclusive), with elements of other, starting from otherFrom (inclusive).

Parameters:

from - the position of the first element to be replaced in the receiver

to - the position of the last element to be replaced in the receiver

                           int otherTo)

Replaces the part between from (inclusive) and to (inclusive) with the other list's part between otherFrom and otherTo. Powerful (and tricky) method! Both parts need not be of the same size (part A can both be smaller or larger than part B). Parts may overlap. Receiver and other list may (but most not) be identical. If from > to, then inserts other part before from.

Parameters:

from - the first element of the receiver (inclusive)

to - the last element of the receiver (inclusive)

other - the other list (may be identical with receiver)

otherFrom - the first element of the other list (inclusive)
