ListCursor(Comparator<E> comparator)
Creates a new ListCursor without any elements.

ListCursor(Comparator<E> comparator, int start, List<E> list)

boolean	available() Determines whether or not a call to get() will succeed.
void	before(E element) Prepares this Cursor, so a subsequent call to Cursor#next() with a true return value, will have positioned the Cursor on a dataSet element equal to or less than the element argument but not greater.
void	beforeFirst() Positions this Cursor before the first element.
boolean	first() Positions this Cursor at the first element.
E	get() Gets the object at the current position.
boolean	isAfterLast() Is this Cursor positioned after the last element.

Constructor Detail

ListCursor

public ListCursor(Comparator<E> comparator,

                  List<E> list,
                  int end)

Creates a new ListCursor with lower (inclusive) and upper (exclusive) bounds. As with all Cursors, this ListCursor requires a successful return from advance operations (next() or previous()) to properly return values using the get() operation.

Parameters:

comparator - an optional comparator to use for ordering

start - the lower bound index

list - the list this ListCursor operates on

end - the upper bound index

ListCursor

public ListCursor(int start,
                  List<E> list,
                  int end)

Creates a new ListCursor with lower (inclusive) and upper (exclusive) bounds. As with all Cursors, this ListCursor requires a successful return from advance operations (next() or previous()) to properly return values using the get() operation.

Parameters:

start - the lower bound index

list - the list this ListCursor operates on

end - the upper bound index

ListCursor

public ListCursor(List<E> list,
                  int end)

Creates a new ListCursor with a specific upper (exclusive) bound: the lower (inclusive) bound defaults to 0.

Parameters:

list - the backing for this ListCursor

end - the upper bound index representing the position after the last element

ListCursor

public ListCursor(Comparator<E> comparator,
                  List<E> list,
                  int end)

Creates a new ListCursor with a specific upper (exclusive) bound: the lower (inclusive) bound defaults to 0. We also provide a comparator.

Parameters:

comparator - The comparator to use for the elements

list - the backing for this ListCursor

end - the upper bound index representing the position after the last element

ListCursor

public ListCursor(int start,
                  List<E> list)

Creates a new ListCursor with a lower (inclusive) bound: the upper (exclusive) bound is the size of the list.

Parameters:

start - the lower (inclusive) bound index: the position of the first entry

list - the backing for this ListCursor

ListCursor

public ListCursor(Comparator<E> comparator,
                  int start,
                  List<E> list)

Creates a new ListCursor with a lower (inclusive) bound: the upper (exclusive) bound is the size of the list. We also provide a comparator.

Parameters:

comparator - The comparator to use for the elements

start - the lower (inclusive) bound index: the position of the first entry

list - the backing for this ListCursor

ListCursor

public ListCursor(List<E> list)

Creates a new ListCursor without specific bounds: the bounds are acquired from the size of the list.

Parameters:

list - the backing for this ListCursor

ListCursor

public ListCursor(Comparator<E> comparator,
                  List<E> list)

Creates a new ListCursor without specific bounds: the bounds are acquired from the size of the list. We also provide a comparator.

Parameters:

comparator - The comparator to use for the elements

list - the backing for this ListCursor

ListCursor

public ListCursor()

Creates a new ListCursor without any elements.

ListCursor

public ListCursor(Comparator<E> comparator)

Creates a new ListCursor without any elements. We also provide a comparator.

Parameters:

comparator - The comparator to use for the elements

Method Detail

available

public boolean available()

Determines whether or not a call to get() will succeed.

Returns:

true if a call to the get() method will succeed, false otherwise

before

public void before(E element)
            throws Exception

Prepares this Cursor, so a subsequent call to Cursor#next() with a true return value, will have positioned the Cursor on a dataSet element equal to or less than the element argument but not greater. A call to Cursor#previous() with a true return value will position the Cursor on a dataSet element less than the argument. If Cursor#next() returns false then the Cursor is past the last element and so all values in the dataSet are less than the argument. If Cursor#previous() returns false then the Cursor is positioned before the first element and all elements in the dataSet are greater than the argument.

Parameters:

element - the element to be positioned before

Throws:

Exception - with problems accessing the underlying btree

after

public void after(E element)
           throws Exception

Prepares this Cursor, so a subsequent call to Cursor#previous() with a true return value, will have positioned the Cursor on a dataSet element equal to or less than the element argument but not greater. A call to Cursor#next() with a true return value will position the Cursor on a dataSet element greater than the argument. If Cursor#next() returns false then the Cursor is past the last element and so all values in the dataSet are less than or equal to the argument. If Cursor#previous() returns false then the Cursor is positioned before the first element and all elements in the dataSet are greater than the argument.

Parameters:

element - the element to be positioned after

Throws:

Exception - if there are problems positioning this cursor or if this Cursor is closed

beforeFirst

public void beforeFirst()
                 throws Exception

Positions this Cursor before the first element.

Throws:

Exception - if there are problems positioning this cursor or if this Cursor is closed

afterLast

public void afterLast()
               throws Exception

Positions this Cursor after the last element.

Throws:

Exception - if there are problems positioning this Cursor or if this Cursor is closed

first

public boolean first()
              throws Exception

Positions this Cursor at the first element.

Returns:

true if the position has been successfully changed to the first element, false otherwise

Throws:

Exception - if there are problems positioning this Cursor or if this Cursor is closed

last

public boolean last()
             throws Exception

Positions this Cursor at the last element.

Returns:

true if the position has been successfully changed to the last element, false otherwise

Throws:

Is this Cursor positioned at the first element.

Specified by:

isFirst in interface Cursor<E>

Overrides:

isFirst in class AbstractCursor<E>

Returns:

true if this cursor is positioned at the first element, false otherwise

Throws:

Exception - if there are problems querying the position of this Cursor or if this Cursor is closed

isLast

Is this Cursor positioned at the last element.

Specified by:

isLast in interface Cursor<E>

Overrides:

isLast in class AbstractCursor<E>

previous

public boolean previous()
                 throws Exception

Advances this Cursor to the previous position. If called before explicitly positioning this Cursor, the position is presumed to be after the last element and this method moves the cursor back to the last element.

Returns:

true if the advance succeeded, false otherwise

Throws:

Exception - if there are problems advancing to the next position

next

public boolean next()
             throws Exception

get

public E get()
      throws Exception

Gets the object at the current position. Cursor implementations may choose to reuse element objects by re-populating them on advances instead of creating new objects on each advance.

Returns:

the object at the current position

Throws:

Exception - if the object at this Cursor's current position cannot be retrieved, or if this Cursor is closed
