31 /**
32  * An ordered collection (also known as a <i>sequence</i>).  The user of this
33  * interface has precise control over where in the list each element is
34  * inserted.  The user can access elements by their integer index (position in
35  * the list), and search for elements in the list.<p>
36  *
37  * Unlike sets, lists typically allow duplicate elements.  More formally,
38  * lists typically allow pairs of elements {@code e1} and {@code e2}
39  * such that {@code e1.equals(e2)}, and they typically allow multiple
40  * null elements if they allow null elements at all.  It is not inconceivable
41  * that someone might wish to implement a list that prohibits duplicates, by
42  * throwing runtime exceptions when the user attempts to insert them, but we
43  * expect this usage to be rare.<p>
44  *
45  * The {@code List} interface places additional stipulations, beyond those
46  * specified in the {@code Collection} interface, on the contracts of the
47  * {@code iterator}, {@code add}, {@code remove}, {@code equals}, and
48  * {@code hashCode} methods.  Declarations for other inherited methods are
49  * also included here for convenience.<p>
50  *
51  * The {@code List} interface provides four methods for positional (indexed)
52  * access to list elements.  Lists (like Java arrays) are zero based.  Note
53  * that these operations may execute in time proportional to the index value
54  * for some implementations (the {@code LinkedList} class, for
55  * example). Thus, iterating over the elements in a list is typically
56  * preferable to indexing through it if the caller does not know the
57  * implementation.<p>
58  *
59  * The {@code List} interface provides a special iterator, called a
60  * {@code ListIterator}, that allows element insertion and replacement, and
61  * bidirectional access in addition to the normal operations that the
62  * {@code Iterator} interface provides.  A method is provided to obtain a
63  * list iterator that starts at a specified position in the list.<p>
64  *
65  * The {@code List} interface provides two methods to search for a specified
66  * object.  From a performance standpoint, these methods should be used with
67  * caution.  In many implementations they will perform costly linear
68  * searches.<p>
69  *
70  * The {@code List} interface provides two methods to efficiently insert and
71  * remove multiple elements at an arbitrary point in the list.<p>
72  *
73  * Note: While it is permissible for lists to contain themselves as elements,
74  * extreme caution is advised: the {@code equals} and {@code hashCode}
75  * methods are no longer well defined on such a list.
76  *
77  * <p>Some list implementations have restrictions on the elements that
78  * they may contain.  For example, some implementations prohibit null elements,
79  * and some have restrictions on the types of their elements.  Attempting to
80  * add an ineligible element throws an unchecked exception, typically
81  * {@code NullPointerException} or {@code ClassCastException}.  Attempting
82  * to query the presence of an ineligible element may throw an exception,
83  * or it may simply return false; some implementations will exhibit the former
84  * behavior and some will exhibit the latter.  More generally, attempting an
85  * operation on an ineligible element whose completion would not result in
86  * the insertion of an ineligible element into the list may throw an
87  * exception or it may succeed, at the option of the implementation.
88  * Such exceptions are marked as "optional" in the specification for this
89  * interface.
90  *
91  * <h2><a id="unmodifiable">Unmodifiable Lists</a></h2>
92  * <p>The {@link List#of(Object...) List.of} and
93  * {@link List#copyOf List.copyOf} static factory methods
94  * provide a convenient way to create unmodifiable lists. The {@code List}
95  * instances created by these methods have the following characteristics:
96  *
97  * <ul>
98  * <li>They are <a href="Collection.html#unmodifiable"><i>unmodifiable</i></a>. Elements cannot
99  * be added, removed, or replaced. Calling any mutator method on the List
100  * will always cause {@code UnsupportedOperationException} to be thrown.
101  * However, if the contained elements are themselves mutable,
102  * this may cause the List's contents to appear to change.
103  * <li>They disallow {@code null} elements. Attempts to create them with
104  * {@code null} elements result in {@code NullPointerException}.
105  * <li>They are serializable if all elements are serializable.
106  * <li>The order of elements in the list is the same as the order of the
107  * provided arguments, or of the elements in the provided array.
108  * <li>They are <a href="../lang/doc-files/ValueBased.html">value-based</a>.
109  * Callers should make no assumptions about the identity of the returned instances.
110  * Factories are free to create new instances or reuse existing ones. Therefore,
111  * identity-sensitive operations on these instances (reference equality ({@code ==}),
112  * identity hash code, and synchronization) are unreliable and should be avoided.
113  * <li>They are serialized as specified on the
114  * <a href="{@docRoot}/serialized-form.html#java.util.CollSer">Serialized Form</a>
115  * page.

480      * The default implementation obtains an array containing all elements in
481      * this list, sorts the array, and iterates over this list resetting each
482      * element from the corresponding position in the array. (This avoids the
483      * n<sup>2</sup> log(n) performance that would result from attempting
484      * to sort a linked list in place.)
485      *
486      * @implNote
487      * This implementation is a stable, adaptive, iterative mergesort that
488      * requires far fewer than n lg(n) comparisons when the input array is
489      * partially sorted, while offering the performance of a traditional
490      * mergesort when the input array is randomly ordered.  If the input array
491      * is nearly sorted, the implementation requires approximately n
492      * comparisons.  Temporary storage requirements vary from a small constant
493      * for nearly sorted input arrays to n/2 object references for randomly
494      * ordered input arrays.
495      *
496      * <p>The implementation takes equal advantage of ascending and
497      * descending order in its input array, and can take advantage of
498      * ascending and descending order in different parts of the same
499      * input array.  It is well-suited to merging two or more sorted arrays:
500      * simply concatenate the arrays and sort the resulting array.
501      *
502      * <p>The implementation was adapted from Tim Peters's list sort for Python
503      * (<a href="http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Objects/listsort.txt">
504      * TimSort</a>).  It uses techniques from Peter McIlroy's "Optimistic
