Class ForwardingSortedMultiset<E>

All Implemented Interfaces:
Multiset<E>, SortedIterable<E>, SortedMultiset<E>, SortedMultisetBridge<E>, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>

public abstract class ForwardingSortedMultiset<E> extends ForwardingMultiset<E> implements SortedMultiset<E>
A sorted multiset which forwards all its method calls to another sorted multiset. Subclasses should override one or more methods to modify the behavior of the backing multiset as desired per the decorator pattern.

Warning: The methods of ForwardingSortedMultiset forward indiscriminately to the methods of the delegate. For example, overriding ForwardingMultiset.add(Object, int) alone will not change the behavior of ForwardingCollection.add(Object), which can lead to unexpected behavior. In this case, you should override add(Object) as well, either providing your own implementation, or delegating to the provided standardAdd method.

default method warning: This class does not forward calls to default methods. Instead, it inherits their default implementations. When those implementations invoke methods, they invoke methods on the ForwardingSortedMultiset.

The standard methods and any collection views they return are not guaranteed to be thread-safe, even when all of the methods that they depend on are thread-safe.

  • Method Details

    • delegate

      protected abstract SortedMultiset<E> delegate()
      Description copied from class: ForwardingObject
      Returns the backing delegate instance that methods are forwarded to. Abstract subclasses generally override this method with an abstract method that has a more specific return type, such as ForwardingSet.delegate(). Concrete subclasses override this method to supply the instance being decorated.

      delegate in class ForwardingMultiset<E>
    • elementSet

      public NavigableSet<E> elementSet()
      Description copied from interface: Multiset
      Returns the set of distinct elements contained in this multiset. The element set is backed by the same data as the multiset, so any change to either is immediately reflected in the other. The order of the elements in the element set is unspecified.

      If the element set supports any removal operations, these necessarily cause all occurrences of the removed element(s) to be removed from the multiset. Implementations are not expected to support the add operations, although this is possible.

      A common use for the element set is to find the number of distinct elements in the multiset: elementSet().size().

      Specified by:
      elementSet in interface Multiset<E>
      Specified by:
      elementSet in interface SortedMultiset<E>
      Specified by:
      elementSet in interface SortedMultisetBridge<E>
      Overrides:
      elementSet in class ForwardingMultiset<E>
      Returns:
      a view of the set of distinct elements in this multiset
    • comparator

      public Comparator<? super E> comparator()
      Description copied from interface: SortedMultiset
      Returns the comparator that orders this multiset, or Ordering.natural() if the natural ordering of the elements is used.
      Specified by:
      comparator in interface SortedIterable<E>

      comparator in interface SortedMultiset<E>
    • descendingMultiset

      public SortedMultiset<E> descendingMultiset()
      Description copied from interface: SortedMultiset
      Returns a descending view of this multiset. Modifications made to either map will be reflected in the other.
      Specified by:
      descendingMultiset in interface SortedMultiset<E>
    • firstEntry

      @CheckForNull public Multiset.Entry<E> firstEntry()
      Description copied from interface: SortedMultiset
      Returns the entry of the first element in this multiset, or null if this multiset is empty.
      Specified by:
      firstEntry in interface SortedMultiset<E>
    • standardFirstEntry

      @CheckForNull protected Multiset.Entry<E> standardFirstEntry()
      A sensible definition of firstEntry() in terms of entrySet().iterator().

      If you override ForwardingMultiset.entrySet(), you may wish to override firstEntry() to forward to this implementation.

    • lastEntry

      @CheckForNull public Multiset.Entry<E> lastEntry()
      Description copied from interface: SortedMultiset
      Returns the entry of the last element in this multiset, or null if this multiset is empty.
      Specified by:
      lastEntry in interface SortedMultiset<E>
    • standardLastEntry

      @CheckForNull protected Multiset.Entry<E> standardLastEntry()
      A sensible definition of lastEntry() in terms of descendingMultiset().entrySet().iterator().

      If you override descendingMultiset() or ForwardingMultiset.entrySet(), you may wish to override firstEntry() to forward to this implementation.

    • pollFirstEntry

      @CheckForNull public Multiset.Entry<E> pollFirstEntry()
      Description copied from interface: SortedMultiset
      Returns and removes the entry associated with the lowest element in this multiset, or returns null if this multiset is empty.
      Specified by:
      pollFirstEntry in interface SortedMultiset<E>
    • standardPollFirstEntry

      @CheckForNull protected Multiset.Entry<E> standardPollFirstEntry()
      A sensible definition of pollFirstEntry() in terms of entrySet().iterator().

      If you override ForwardingMultiset.entrySet(), you may wish to override pollFirstEntry() to forward to this implementation.

    • pollLastEntry

      @CheckForNull public Multiset.Entry<E> pollLastEntry()
      Description copied from interface: SortedMultiset
      Returns and removes the entry associated with the greatest element in this multiset, or returns null if this multiset is empty.
      Specified by:
      pollLastEntry in interface SortedMultiset<E>
    • standardPollLastEntry

      @CheckForNull protected Multiset.Entry<E> standardPollLastEntry()
      A sensible definition of pollLastEntry() in terms of descendingMultiset().entrySet().iterator().

      If you override descendingMultiset() or ForwardingMultiset.entrySet(), you may wish to override pollLastEntry() to forward to this implementation.

    • headMultiset

      public SortedMultiset<E> headMultiset(E upperBound, BoundType boundType)
      Description copied from interface: SortedMultiset
      Returns a view of this multiset restricted to the elements less than upperBound, optionally including upperBound itself. The returned multiset is a view of this multiset, so changes to one will be reflected in the other. The returned multiset supports all operations that this multiset supports.

      The returned multiset will throw an IllegalArgumentException on attempts to add elements outside its range.

      Specified by:
      headMultiset in interface SortedMultiset<E>
    • subMultiset

      public SortedMultiset<E> subMultiset(E lowerBound, BoundType lowerBoundType, E upperBound, BoundType upperBoundType)
      Description copied from interface: SortedMultiset
      Returns a view of this multiset restricted to the range between lowerBound and upperBound. The returned multiset is a view of this multiset, so changes to one will be reflected in the other. The returned multiset supports all operations that this multiset supports.

      The returned multiset will throw an IllegalArgumentException on attempts to add elements outside its range.

      This method is equivalent to tailMultiset(lowerBound, lowerBoundType).headMultiset(upperBound, upperBoundType).

      Specified by:
      subMultiset in interface SortedMultiset<E>
    • standardSubMultiset

      protected SortedMultiset<E> standardSubMultiset(E lowerBound, BoundType lowerBoundType, E upperBound, BoundType upperBoundType)
      A sensible definition of subMultiset(Object, BoundType, Object, BoundType) in terms of headMultiset and tailMultiset.

      If you override either of these methods, you may wish to override subMultiset(Object, BoundType, Object, BoundType) to forward to this implementation.

    • tailMultiset

      public SortedMultiset<E> tailMultiset(E lowerBound, BoundType boundType)
      Description copied from interface: SortedMultiset
      Returns a view of this multiset restricted to the elements greater than lowerBound, optionally including lowerBound itself. The returned multiset is a view of this multiset, so changes to one will be reflected in the other. The returned multiset supports all operations that this multiset supports.

      The returned multiset will throw an IllegalArgumentException on attempts to add elements outside its range.
