Method Detail

addIfAbsent

boolean addIfAbsent(E element)

Adds the specified element only if not already present.

Returns:

true if the element has been added; false otherwise.

positionOf

int positionOf(E element)

Returns the index of the specified element if present; or a negative number equals to -n with n being the index next to the "would be" index of the specified element if the specified element was to be added.

split

SortedTableService<E>[] split(int n,
                            boolean updateable)

Description copied from interface: Splittable

Returns n distinct parts of this object. This method may return an array of size less than n (e.g. an array of size one if this object cannot split).

Specified by:

split in interface Splittable<CollectionService<E>>

Specified by:

split in interface TableService<E>

Parameters:

n - the number of parts.

updateable - true if the returned parts can be updated concurrently; false otherwise.

Returns:

the distinct parts (or views) for this object.
