Method Detail

getListClass

java.lang.Class getListClass()

Class implementing IndirectList.

Returns:

class implementing IndirectList

createIndirectList

<E> IndirectList<E> createIndirectList(int initialCapacity,
                                       int capacityIncrement)

Construct an empty IndirectList with the specified initial capacity and capacity increment.

Type Parameters:

E - the class of the objects in the list

Parameters:

initialCapacity - the initial capacity of the list

capacityIncrement - the amount by which the capacity is increased when the list overflows

Returns:

an empty IndirectList with the specified initial capacity and capacity increment

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified initial capacity is negative

createIndirectList

<E> IndirectList<E> createIndirectList(java.util.Collection<? extends E> collection)

Constructs an IndirectList containing the elements of the specified collection, in the order they are returned by the collection's iterator.

Type Parameters:

E - the class of the objects in the list

Parameters:

collection - a collection containing the elements to construct the IndirectList with

Returns:

an IndirectList containing the elements of the specified collection

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the specified collection is null

getSetClass

java.lang.Class getSetClass()

Class implementing IndirectSet.

Returns:

class implementing IndirectSet

createIndirectSet

<E> IndirectSet<E> createIndirectSet(int initialCapacity,
                                     float loadFactor)

Construct an empty IndirectSet with the specified initial capacity and the specified load factor.

Parameters:

initialCapacity - the initial capacity of the set

loadFactor - the load factor of the set

Returns:

an empty IndirectSet with the specified initial capacity and the specified load factor

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified initial capacity is negative

createIndirectSet

<E> IndirectSet<E> createIndirectSet(java.util.Collection<? extends E> collection)

Constructs an IndirectSet containing the elements of the specified collection.

Parameters:

collection - a collection containing the elements to construct the IndirectSet with

Returns:

an IndirectSet containing the elements of the specified collection

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the specified collection is null

getMapClass

java.lang.Class getMapClass()

Class implementing IndirectMap.

Returns:

class implementing IndirectMap

createIndirectMap

<K,V> IndirectMap<K,V> createIndirectMap(int initialCapacity,
                                         float loadFactor)

Construct a new, empty IndirectMap with the specified initial capacity and the specified load factor.

Parameters:

initialCapacity - the initial capacity of the IndirectMap

loadFactor - a number between 0.0 and 1.0

Returns:

a new, empty IndirectMap with the specified initial capacity and the specified load factor

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the initial capacity is less than or equal to zero, or if the load factor is less than or equal to zero

createIndirectMap

<K,V> IndirectMap<K,V> createIndirectMap(java.util.Map<? extends K,? extends V> map)

Construct a new IndirectMap with the same mappings as the given Map. The IndirectMap is created with a capacity of twice the number of entries in the given Map or 11 (whichever is greater), and a default load factor, which is 0.75.

Parameters:

map - the map whose mappings are to be placed into created IndirectMap

Returns:

a new IndirectMap with the same mappings as the given Map

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the specified map is null
