java.lang.Object

convex.core.data.AObject

convex.core.data.ACell

convex.core.data.ACountable<E>

Type Parameters:

E - Type of element that is counted

All Implemented Interfaces:

IValidated, IWriteable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ABlob, ADataStructure, AString

public ACountable()

Method Details

count

public abstract long count()

Returns the number of elements in this data structure

Returns:

Number of elements in this collection.

get

public abstract E get(long index)

Gets the element at the specified index in this collection

Parameters:

index - Index of element to get

Returns:

Element at the specified index

getElementRef

public abstract Ref<E> getElementRef(long index)

Gets a Ref to the element at the specified index in this collection

Parameters:

index - Index of element to get

Returns:

Element at the specified index

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Checks if this data structure is empty, i.e. has a count of zero elements.

Returns:

true if this data structure is empty, false otherwise

size

public int size()

Gets the size of this data structure as an int. Returns Integer.MAX_SIZE if the count is larger than can fit in an int. If this might be a problem, use count() instead.

Returns:

Number of elements in this collection.
