The user of this 32 * interface has precise control over where in the list each element is 33 * inserted. The user can access elements by their integer index (position in 34 * the list), and search for elements in the list.<p> 35 * 36 * Unlike sets, lists typically allow duplicate elements. More formally, 37 * lists typically allow pairs of elements <tt>e1</tt> and <tt>e2</tt> 38 * such that <tt>e1.equals(e2)</tt>, and they typically allow multiple 39 * null elements if they allow null elements at all. It is not inconceivable 40 * that someone might wish to implement a list that prohibits duplicates, by 41 * throwing runtime exceptions when the user attempts to insert them, but we 42 * expect this usage to be rare.<p> 43 * 44 * The <tt>List</tt> interface places additional stipulations, beyond those 45 * specified in the <tt>Collection</tt> interface, on the contracts of the 46 * <tt>iterator</tt>, <tt>add</tt>, <tt>remove</tt>, <tt>equals</tt>, and 47 * <tt>hashCode</tt> methods. Declarations for other inherited methods are 48 * also included here for convenience.<p> 49 * 50 * The <tt>List</tt> interface provides four methods for positional (indexed) 51 * access to list elements. Lists (like Java arrays) are zero based. Note 52 * that these operations may execute in time proportional to the index value 53 * for some implementations (the <tt>LinkedList</tt> class, for 54 * example). Thus, iterating over the elements in a list is typically 55 * preferable to indexing through it if the caller does not know the 56 * implementation.<p> 57 * 58 * The <tt>List</tt> interface provides a special iterator, called a 59 * <tt>ListIterator</tt>, that allows element insertion and replacement, and 60 * bidirectional access in addition to the normal operations that the 61 * <tt>Iterator</tt> interface provides. A method is provided to obtain a 62 * list iterator that starts at a specified position in the list.<p> 63 * 64 * The <tt>List</tt> interface provides two methods to search for a specified 65 * object. From a performance standpoint, these methods should be used with 66 * caution. In many implementations they will perform costly linear 67 * searches.<p> 68 * 69 * The <tt>List</tt> interface provides two methods to efficiently insert and 70 * remove multiple elements at an arbitrary point in the list.<p> 71 * 72 * Note: While it is permissible for lists to contain themselves as elements, 73 * extreme caution is advised: the <tt>equals</tt> and <tt>hashCode</tt> 74 * methods are no longer well defined on such a list. 75 * 76 * <p>Some list implementations have restrictions on the elements that 77 * they may contain. For example, some implementations prohibit null elements, 78 * and some have restrictions on the types of their elements. Attempting to 79 * add an ineligible element throws an unchecked exception, typically 80 * <tt>NullPointerException</tt> or <tt>ClassCastException</tt>. Attempting 81 * to query the presence of an ineligible element may throw an exception, 82 * or it may simply return false; some implementations will exhibit the former 83 * behavior and some will exhibit the latter. More generally, attempting an 84 * operation on an ineligible element whose completion would not result in 85 * the insertion of an ineligible element into the list may throw an 86 * exception or it may succeed, at the option of the implementation. 87 * Such exceptions are marked as "optional" in the specification for this 88 * interface. 89 * 90 * <p>This interface is a member of the 91 * <a href="{@docRoot}openjdk-redirect.html?v=8&path=/technotes/guides/collections/index.html"> 92 * Java Collections Framework</a>. 93 * 94 * @param <E> the type of elements in this list 95 * 96 * @author Josh Bloch 97 * @author Neal Gafter 98 * @see Collection 99 * @see Set 100 * @see ArrayList 101 * @see LinkedList 102 * @see Vector 103 * @see Arrays#asList(Object[]) 104 * @see Collections#nCopies(int, Object) 105 * @see Collections#EMPTY_LIST 106 * @see AbstractList 107 * @see AbstractSequentialList 108 * @since 1.2 109 */ 110 111 public interface List<E> extends Collection<E> { 112 // Query Operations 113 114 /** 115 * Returns the number of elements in this list.
