public abstract Class AbstractUnmodifiableCollection<E>

Overrides java.util.AbstractCollection.add.

Implements java.util.Collection.add.

Doc from java.util.AbstractCollection.add.

Ensures that this collection contains the specified element (optional operation). Returns true if this collection changed as a result of the call. (Returns false if this collection does not permit duplicates and already contains the specified element.)

Collections that support this operation may place limitations on what elements may be added to this collection. In particular, some collections will refuse to add null elements, and others will impose restrictions on the type of elements that may be added. Collection classes should clearly specify in their documentation any restrictions on what elements may be added.

If a collection refuses to add a particular element for any reason other than that it already contains the element, it must throw an exception (rather than returning false). This preserves the invariant that a collection always contains the specified element after this call returns.

Parameters

e:E

Doc from java.util.Collection.add.

element whose presence in this collection is to be ensured

Returns:boolean

Doc from java.util.Collection.add.

true if this collection changed as a result of the call

Overrides java.util.AbstractCollection.addAll.

Implements java.util.Collection.addAll.

Doc from java.util.AbstractCollection.addAll.

Adds all of the elements in the specified collection to this collection (optional operation). The behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress. (This implies that the behavior of this call is undefined if the specified collection is this collection, and this collection is nonempty.) If the specified collection has a defined encounter order, processing of its elements generally occurs in that order.

Parameters

c:Collection<? extends E>

Doc from java.util.Collection.addAll.

collection containing elements to be added to this collection

Returns:boolean

Doc from java.util.Collection.addAll.

true if this collection changed as a result of the call

Overrides java.util.AbstractCollection.clear.

Implements java.util.Collection.clear.

Doc from java.util.AbstractCollection.clear.

Overrides java.util.AbstractCollection.remove.

Implements java.util.Collection.remove.

Doc from java.util.AbstractCollection.remove.

Removes a single instance of the specified element from this collection, if it is present (optional operation). More formally, removes an element e such that Objects.equals(o, e), if this collection contains one or more such elements. Returns true if this collection contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this collection changed as a result of the call).

Parameters

o:Object

Doc from java.util.Collection.remove.

element to be removed from this collection, if present

Returns:boolean

Doc from java.util.Collection.remove.

true if an element was removed as a result of this call

Overrides java.util.AbstractCollection.removeAll.

Implements java.util.Collection.removeAll.

Doc from java.util.AbstractCollection.removeAll.

Removes all of this collection's elements that are also contained in the specified collection (optional operation). After this call returns, this collection will contain no elements in common with the specified collection.

Parameters

c:Collection<?>

Doc from java.util.Collection.removeAll.

collection containing elements to be removed from this collection

Returns:boolean

Doc from java.util.Collection.removeAll.

true if this collection changed as a result of the call

Overrides default java.util.Collection.removeIf.

Doc from java.util.Collection.removeIf.

Removes all of the elements of this collection that satisfy the given predicate (optional operation). Errors or runtime exceptions thrown during iteration or by the predicate are relayed to the caller.

Parameters

filter:Predicate<? super E>

a predicate which returns true for elements to be removed

Returns:boolean

true if any elements were removed

Overrides java.util.AbstractCollection.retainAll.

Implements java.util.Collection.retainAll.

Doc from java.util.AbstractCollection.retainAll.

Retains only the elements in this collection that are contained in the specified collection (optional operation). In other words, removes from this collection all of its elements that are not contained in the specified collection.

Parameters

list:Collection<?>

Doc from java.util.Collection.retainAll.

collection containing elements to be retained in this collection

Returns:boolean

Doc from java.util.Collection.retainAll.

true if this collection changed as a result of the call
