Method Detail

array

public static <T> ImmutableArray<T> array(T... values)

Construct a ImmutableArray.

Parameters:

values - each value

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the runtime component type of values is not immutable in the overlay type system

array

public static <T> ImmutableArray<T> array()

Construct an empty ConstArray.

array

public static <T> ImmutableArray<T> array(T value)

Construct a ConstArray with one element.

Parameters:

value - the value

array

public static <T> ImmutableArray<T> array(T value1,
                                          T value2)

Construct a ConstArray with two elements.

Parameters:

value1 - the first value

value2 - the second value

array

public static <T> ImmutableArray<T> array(T value1,
                                          T value2,
                                          T value3)

Construct an ImmutableArray with three elements.

Parameters:

value1 - the first value

value2 - the second value

value3 - the third value

array

public static <T> ImmutableArray<T> array(T value1,
                                          T value2,
                                          T value3,
                                          T value4)

Construct an ImmutableArray with four elements.

Parameters:

value1 - the first value

value2 - the second value

value3 - the third value

value4 - the fourth value

with

public ImmutableArray<E> with(E newE)

Return a new PowerlessArray that contains the same elements as this one but with a new element added to the end.

Overrides:

with in class ConstArray<E>

Parameters:

newE - an element to add

Returns:

the new array

Throws:

ClassCastException - if newE is not immutable

without

public ImmutableArray<E> without(int i)

Return a new ImmutableArray that contains the same elements as this one excluding the element at a specified index

Overrides:

without in class ConstArray<E>

Parameters:

i - the index of the element to exclude

Returns:

the new array

builder

public static <E> ImmutableArray.Builder<E> builder()

Get an ImmutableArray.Builder. This is equivalent to the constructor.

Returns:

a new builder instance, with the default internal array length

builder

public static <E> ImmutableArray.Builder<E> builder(int estimate)

Get an ImmutableArray.Builder. This is equivalent to the constructor.

Parameters:

estimate - estimated array length

Returns:

a new builder instance
