Type Parameters:

E - The type of the elements being stored in the Elements.MutableElements.

All Superinterfaces:

Clearable, Elements<E>, Elements.ClearableElements<E>

All Known Subinterfaces:

Elements<E>

public static interface Elements.MutableElements<E>
extends Elements.ClearableElements<E>
