public abstract class AbstractSequentialList<E>
This class provides a skeletal implementation of the List interface to minimize the effort required to implement this interface backed by a "sequential access" data store (such as a linked list). For random access data (such as an array), AbstractList should be used in preference to this class.
This class is the opposite of the AbstractList class in the sense that it implements the "random access" methods (get(int index), set(int index, E element), add(int index, E element) and remove(int index)) on top of the list's list iterator, instead of the other way around.
To implement a list the programmer needs only to extend this class and provide implementations for the listIterator and size methods. For an unmodifiable list, the programmer need only implement the list iterator's hasNext, next, hasPrevious, previous and index methods.
For a modifiable list the programmer should additionally implement the list iterator's set method. For a variable-size list the programmer should additionally implement the list iterator's remove and add methods.
The programmer should generally provide a void (no argument) and collection constructor, as per the recommendation in the Collection interface specification.
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

public E get(int index)
This implementation first gets a list iterator pointing to the indexed element (with listIterator(index)). Then, it gets the element using ListIterator.next and returns it.
index
- index of the element to return
IndexOutOfBoundsException
- if the index is out of range
(index < 0 || index >= size())public E set(int index, E element)
This implementation first gets a list iterator pointing to the indexed element (with listIterator(index)). Then, it gets the current element using ListIterator.next and replaces it with ListIterator.set.
Note that this implementation will throw an UnsupportedOperationException if the list iterator does not implement the set operation.
index
- index of the element to replaceelement
- element to be stored at the specified position
UnsupportedOperationException
- if the set operation
is not supported by this list
ClassCastException
- if the class of the specified element
prevents it from being added to this list
NullPointerException
- if the specified element is null and
this list does not permit null elements
IllegalArgumentException
- if some property of the specified
element prevents it from being added to this list
IndexOutOfBoundsException
- if the index is out of range
(index < 0 || index >= size())public void add(int index, E element)
This implementation first gets a list iterator pointing to the indexed element (with listIterator(index)). Then, it inserts the specified element with ListIterator.add.
Note that this implementation will throw an UnsupportedOperationException if the list iterator does not implement the add operation.
index
- index at which the specified element is to be insertedelement
- element to be inserted
UnsupportedOperationException
- if the add operation
is not supported by this list
ClassCastException
- if the class of the specified element
prevents it from being added to this list
NullPointerException
- if the specified element is null and
this list does not permit null elements
IllegalArgumentException
- if some property of the specified
element prevents it from being added to this list
IndexOutOfBoundsException
- if the index is out of range
(index < 0 || index > size())public E remove(int index)
This implementation first gets a list iterator pointing to the indexed element (with listIterator(index)). Then, it removes the element with ListIterator.remove.
Note that this implementation will throw an UnsupportedOperationException if the list iterator does not implement the remove operation.
index
- the index of the element to be removed
UnsupportedOperationException
- if the remove operation
is not supported by this list
IndexOutOfBoundsException
- if the index is out of range
(index < 0 || index >= size())public boolean addAll(int index, Collection<? extends E> c)
This implementation gets an iterator over the specified collection and a list iterator over this list pointing to the indexed element (with listIterator(index)). Then, it iterates over the specified collection, inserting the elements obtained from the iterator into this list, one at a time, using ListIterator.add followed by ListIterator.next (to skip over the added element).
Note that this implementation will throw an UnsupportedOperationException if the list iterator returned by the listIterator method does not implement the add operation.
index
- index at which to insert the first element from the
specified collectionc
- collection containing elements to be added to this list
UnsupportedOperationException
- if the addAll operation
is not supported by this list
ClassCastException
- if the class of an element of the specified
collection prevents it from being added to this list
NullPointerException
- if the specified collection contains one
or more null elements and this list does not permit null
elements, or if the specified collection is null
IllegalArgumentException
- if some property of an element of the
specified collection prevents it from being added to this list
IndexOutOfBoundsException
- if the index is out of range
(index < 0 || index > size())public Iterator<E> iterator()
This implementation merely returns a list iterator over the list.
