Interface Elements.MutableElements<E>

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:

Container.MutableContainer<E>

Enclosing interface:

Elements<E>

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

Extends the Elements with mutable (writable) functionality, especially by enabling the Iterator.remove() method in the Iterator provided via iterator() and by providing the add(Object) and the remove(Object) methods.

boolean	add(E aElement) Same as Collection.add(Object).
Iterator<E>	iterator() Returns an Iterator instance of all the data elements contained in the container (collection). --------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION: The Iterator.remove() method is enabled in the returned Iterator instance as the Elements.MutableElements is possibly readable and writable.
boolean	remove(Object aElement) Same as Collection.remove(Object).
