The user of this * interface has precise control over where in the list each element is * inserted. The user can access elements by their integer index (position in * the list), and search for elements in the list.<p> * * Unlike sets, lists typically allow duplicate elements. More formally, * lists typically allow pairs of elements {@code e1} and {@code e2} * such that {@code e1.equals(e2)}, and they typically allow multiple * null elements if they allow null elements at all. It is not inconceivable * that someone might wish to implement a list that prohibits duplicates, by * throwing runtime exceptions when the user attempts to insert them, but we * expect this usage to be rare.<p> * * The {@code List} interface places additional stipulations, beyond those * specified in the {@code Collection} interface, on the contracts of the * {@code iterator}, {@code add}, {@code remove}, {@code equals}, and * {@code hashCode} methods. Declarations for other inherited methods are * also included here for convenience.<p> * * The {@code List} interface provides four methods for positional (indexed) * access to list elements. Lists (like Java arrays) are zero based. Note * that these operations may execute in time proportional to the index value * for some implementations (the {@code LinkedList} class, for * example). Thus, iterating over the elements in a list is typically * preferable to indexing through it if the caller does not know the * implementation.<p> * * The {@code List} interface provides a special iterator, called a * {@code ListIterator}, that allows element insertion and replacement, and * bidirectional access in addition to the normal operations that the * {@code Iterator} interface provides. A method is provided to obtain a * list iterator that starts at a specified position in the list.<p> * * The {@code List} interface provides two methods to search for a specified * object. From a performance standpoint, these methods should be used with * caution. In many implementations they will perform costly linear * searches.<p> * * The {@code List} interface provides two methods to efficiently insert and * remove multiple elements at an arbitrary point in the list.<p> * * Note: While it is permissible for lists to contain themselves as elements, * extreme caution is advised: the {@code equals} and {@code hashCode} * methods are no longer well defined on such a list. * * <p>Some list implementations have restrictions on the elements that * they may contain. For example, some implementations prohibit null elements, * and some have restrictions on the types of their elements. Attempting to * add an ineligible element throws an unchecked exception, typically * {@code NullPointerException} or {@code ClassCastException}. Attempting * to query the presence of an ineligible element may throw an exception, * or it may simply return false; some implementations will exhibit the former * behavior and some will exhibit the latter. More generally, attempting an * operation on an ineligible element whose completion would not result in * the insertion of an ineligible element into the list may throw an * exception or it may succeed, at the option of the implementation. * Such exceptions are marked as "optional" in the specification for this * interface. * * <h2><a id="unmodifiable">Unmodifiable Lists</a></h2> * <p>The {@link List#of(Object...) List.of} and * {@link List#copyOf List.copyOf} static factory methods * provide a convenient way to create unmodifiable lists. The {@code List} * instances created by these methods have the following characteristics: * * <ul> * <li>They are <a href="Collection.html#unmodifiable"><i>unmodifiable</i></a>. Elements cannot * be added, removed, or replaced. Calling any mutator method on the List * will always cause {@code UnsupportedOperationException} to be thrown. * However, if the contained elements are themselves mutable, * this may cause the List's contents to appear to change. * <li>They disallow {@code null} elements. Attempts to create them with * {@code null} elements result in {@code NullPointerException}. * <li>They are serializable if all elements are serializable. * <li>The order of elements in the list is the same as the order of the * provided arguments, or of the elements in the provided array. * <li>They are <a href="../lang/doc-files/ValueBased.html">value-based</a>. * Callers should make no assumptions about the identity of the returned instances. * Factories are free to create new instances or reuse existing ones. Therefore, * identity-sensitive operations on these instances (reference equality ({@code ==}), * identity hash code, and synchronization) are unreliable and should be avoided. * <li>They are serialized as specified on the * <a href="{@docRoot}/serialized-form.html#java.util.CollSer">Serialized Form</a> * page. * </ul> * * <p>This interface is a member of the * <a href="{@docRoot}/java.base/java/util/package-summary.html#CollectionsFramework"> * Java Collections Framework</a>. * * @param <E> the type of elements in this list * * @author Josh Bloch * @author Neal Gafter * @see Collection * @see Set * @see ArrayList * @see LinkedList * @see Vector * @see Arrays#asList(Object[]) * @see Collections#nCopies(int, Object) * @see Collections#EMPTY_LIST * @see AbstractList * @see AbstractSequentialList * @since 1.2 */ public interface List<E> extends Collection<E> { // Query Operations /** * Returns the number of elements in this list.
