Class TreeBag<E>

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.commons.collections4.bag.AbstractMapBag<E>
      org.apache.commons.collections4.bag.TreeBag<E>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, Bag<E>, SortedBag<E>

public class TreeBag<E>
extends AbstractMapBag<E>
implements SortedBag<E>, Serializable

Implements SortedBag, using a TreeMap to provide the data storage. This is the standard implementation of a sorted bag.

Order will be maintained among the bag members and can be viewed through the iterator.

A Bag stores each object in the collection together with a count of occurrences. Extra methods on the interface allow multiple copies of an object to be added or removed at once. It is important to read the interface javadoc carefully as several methods violate the Collection interface specification.

Since:

3.0 (previously in main package v2.0)

public TreeBag(Comparator<? super E> comparator)

Constructs an empty bag that maintains order on its unique representative members according to the given Comparator.

Parameters:

comparator - the comparator to use

TreeBag

public TreeBag(Collection<? extends E> coll)

Constructs a TreeBag containing all the members of the specified collection.

Parameters:

coll - the collection to copy into the bag

add

public boolean add(E object)

add in interface Bag<E>

Overrides:

add in class AbstractMapBag<E>

Parameters:

object - the object to add

Returns:

true if the object was not already in the uniqueSet

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the object to be added does not implement Comparable and the TreeBag is using natural ordering

Specified by:

first in interface SortedBag<E>

the last element in the sorted bag

comparator

public Comparator<? super E> comparator()

the comparator in use, or null if natural ordering

getMap

protected SortedMap<E,AbstractMapBag.MutableInteger> getMap()

Description copied from class: AbstractMapBag

Overrides:

getMap in class AbstractMapBag<E>

Returns:

the map being used by the Bag
