Class CharArraySet

All Implemented Interfaces:
CharCollection, CharIterable, CharSet, Serializable, Cloneable, Iterable<Character>, Collection<Character>, Set<Character>

public class CharArraySet extends AbstractCharSet implements Serializable, Cloneable
A simple, brute-force implementation of a set based on a backing array.

The main purpose of this implementation is that of wrapping cleanly the brute-force approach to the storage of a very small number of items: just put them into an array and scan linearly to find an item.

    • CharArraySet

      public CharArraySet(char[] a, int size)
      Creates a new array set using the given backing array and the given number of elements of the array.

      It is the responsibility of the caller to ensure that the first size elements of a are distinct.

      Parameters:
      a - the backing array.
      size - the number of valid elements in a.
