Extends: AbstractCollection > AbstractSet
Implements: NavigableSet, Cloneable, Serializable
Details
A scalable concurrent NavigableSet implementation based on a ConcurrentSkipListMap. The elements of the set are kept sorted according to their natural ordering, or by a Comparator provided at set creation time, depending on which constructor is used.

This implementation provides expected average log(n) time cost for the contains, add, and remove operations and their variants. Insertion, removal, and access operations safely execute concurrently by multiple threads. Iterators are weakly consistent, returning elements reflecting the state of the set at some point at or since the creation of the iterator. They do not throw ConcurrentModificationException, and may proceed concurrently with other operations. Ascending ordered views and their iterators are faster than descending ones.

Beware that, unlike in most collections, the size method is not a constant-time operation. Because of the asynchronous nature of these sets, determining the current number of elements requires a traversal of the elements. Additionally, the bulk operations addAll, removeAll, retainAll, and containsAll are not guaranteed to be performed atomically. For example, an iterator operating concurrently with an addAll operation might view only some of the added elements.

This class and its iterators implement all of the optional methods of the Set and Iterator interfaces. Like most other concurrent collection implementations, this class does not permit the use of null elements, because null arguments and return values cannot be reliably distinguished from the absence of elements.

This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

Constructors
public ConcurrentSkipListSet()
Constructs a new, empty set that orders its elements according to their natural ordering.
public ConcurrentSkipListSet(Comparator comparator) Details
Constructs a new, empty set that orders its elements according to the specified comparator.
comparatorthe comparator that will be used to order this set. If null, the natural ordering of the elements will be used.
public ConcurrentSkipListSet(Collection c) Details
Constructs a new set containing the elements in the specified collection, that orders its elements according to their natural ordering.
cThe elements that will comprise the new set
ThrowsClassCastException: if the elements in c are not Comparable, or are not mutually comparable
ThrowsNullPointerException: if the specified collection or any of its elements are null
public ConcurrentSkipListSet(SortedSet s) Details
Constructs a new set containing the same elements and using the same ordering as the specified sorted set.
ssorted set whose elements will comprise the new set
ThrowsNullPointerException: if the specified sorted set or any of its elements are null

Methods
public boolean add(Object e) Details
Adds the specified element to this set if it is not already present. More formally, adds the specified element e to this set if the set contains no element e2 such that e.equals(e2). If this set already contains the element, the call leaves the set unchanged and returns false.
eelement to be added to this set
returntrue if this set did not already contain the specified element
ThrowsClassCastException: if e cannot be compared with the elements currently in this set
ThrowsNullPointerException: als het gespecifieerde element null is
public Object ceiling(Object e) Details
ThrowsClassCastException: if the specified element cannot be compared with the elements currently in the set
ThrowsNullPointerException: als het gespecifieerde element null is
public void clear()
Removes all of the elements from this set.
public ConcurrentSkipListSet clone() Details
Returns a shallow copy of this ConcurrentSkipListSet instance. (The elements themselves are not cloned.)
returna shallow copy of this set
public Comparator comparator()
public boolean contains(Object o) Details
Returns true if this set contains the specified element. More formally, returns true if and only if this set contains an element e such that o.equals(e).
oobject to be checked for containment in this set
returntrue if this set contains the specified element
ThrowsClassCastException: if the specified element cannot be compared with the elements currently in this set
ThrowsNullPointerException: als het gespecifieerde element null is
public Iterator descendingIterator() Details
Returns an iterator over the elements in this set in descending order.
returnan iterator over the elements in this set in descending order
public NavigableSet descendingSet() Details
Returns a reverse order view of the elements contained in this set. The descending set is backed by this set, so changes to the set are reflected in the descending set, and vice-versa.

The returned set has an ordering equivalent to Collections.reverseOrder(comparator()). The expression s.descendingSet().descendingSet() returns a view of s essentially equivalent to s.
returna reverse order view of this set

public boolean equals(Object o) Details
Compares the specified object with this set for equality. Returns true if the specified object is also a set, the two sets have the same size, and every member of the specified set is contained in this set (or equivalently, every member of this set is contained in the specified set). This definition ensures that the equals method works properly across different implementations of the set interface.
othe object to be compared for equality with this set
returntrue if the specified object is equal to this set
public Object first() Details
ThrowsNoSuchElementException: if this set is empty
public Object floor(Object e) Details
ThrowsClassCastException: if the specified element cannot be compared with the elements currently in the set
ThrowsNullPointerException: als het gespecifieerde element null is
public NavigableSet headSet(Object toElement, boolean inclusive) Details
ThrowsClassCastException: if toElement is not compatible with this set's comparator (or, if the set has no comparator, if toElement does not implement Comparable). Implementations may, but are not required to, throw this exception if toElement cannot be compared to elements currently in the set.
ThrowsNullPointerException: if toElement is null
ThrowsIllegalArgumentException: if this set itself has a restricted range, and toElement lies outside the bounds of the range
public NavigableSet headSet(Object toElement) Details
ThrowsClassCastException: if toElement is not compatible with this set's comparator (or, if the set has no comparator, if toElement does not implement Comparable). Implementations may, but are not required to, throw this exception if toElement cannot be compared to elements currently in the set.
ThrowsNullPointerException: if toElement is null
ThrowsIllegalArgumentException: if this set itself has a restricted range, and toElement lies outside the bounds of the range na
public Object higher(Object e) Details
ThrowsClassCastException: if the specified element cannot be compared with the elements currently in the set
ThrowsNullPointerException: als het gespecifieerde element null is
public Iterator iterator() Details
Returns an iterator over the elements in this set in ascending order.
returnan iterator over the elements in this set in ascending order
public Object last() Details
ThrowsNoSuchElementException: if this set is empty
public Object lower(Object e) Details
ThrowsClassCastException: if the specified element cannot be compared with the elements currently in the set
ThrowsNullPointerException: als het gespecifieerde element null is
public Object pollFirst()
public Object pollLast()
public boolean remove(Object o) Details
Removes the specified element from this set if it is present. More formally, removes an element e such that o.equals(e), if this set contains such an element. Returns true if this set contained the element (or equivalently, if this set changed as a result of the call). (This set will not contain the element once the call returns.)
oobject to be removed from this set, if present
returntrue if this set contained the specified element
ThrowsClassCastException: if o cannot be compared with the elements currently in this set
ThrowsNullPointerException: als het gespecifieerde element null is
public boolean removeAll(Collection c) Details
Removes from this set all of its elements that are contained in the specified collection. If the specified collection is also a set, this operation effectively modifies this set so that its value is the asymmetric set difference of the two sets.
ccollection containing elements to be removed from this set
returntrue if this set changed as a result of the call
ThrowsClassCastException: if the types of one or more elements in this set are incompatible with the specified collection
ThrowsNullPointerException: if the specified collection or any of its elements are null
public int size() Details
Returns the number of elements in this set. If this set contains more than Integer.MAX_VALUE elements, it returns Integer.MAX_VALUE.

Beware that, unlike in most collections, this method is NOT a constant-time operation. Because of the asynchronous nature of these sets, determining the current number of elements requires traversing them all to count them. Additionally, it is possible for the size to change during execution of this method, in which case the returned result will be inaccurate. Thus, this method is typically not very useful in concurrent applications.
returnthe number of elements in this set

public NavigableSet subSet(Object fromElement, boolean fromInclusive, Object toElement, boolean toInclusive) Details
ThrowsClassCastException: if fromElement and toElement cannot be compared to one another using this set's comparator (or, if the set has no comparator, using natural ordering). Implementations may, but are not required to, throw this exception if fromElement or toElement cannot be compared to elements currently in the set.
ThrowsNullPointerException: if fromElement or toElement is null
ThrowsIllegalArgumentException: if fromElement is greater than toElement; or if this set itself has a restricted range, and fromElement or toElement lies outside the bounds of the range.
public NavigableSet subSet(Object fromElement, Object toElement) Details
ThrowsClassCastException: if fromElement and toElement cannot be compared to one another using this set's comparator (or, if the set has no comparator, using natural ordering). Implementations may, but are not required to, throw this exception if fromElement or toElement cannot be compared to elements currently in the set.
ThrowsNullPointerException: if fromElement or toElement is null
ThrowsIllegalArgumentException: if fromElement is greater than toElement; or if this set itself has a restricted range, and fromElement or toElement lies outside the bounds of the range
public NavigableSet tailSet(Object fromElement, boolean inclusive) Details
ThrowsClassCastException: if fromElement is not compatible with this set's comparator (or, if the set has no comparator, if fromElement does not implement Comparable). Implementations may, but are not required to, throw this exception if fromElement cannot be compared to elements currently in the set.
ThrowsNullPointerException: if fromElement is null
ThrowsIllegalArgumentException: if this set itself has a restricted range, and fromElement lies outside the bounds of the range
public NavigableSet tailSet(Object fromElement) Details
ThrowsClassCastException: if fromElement is not compatible with this set's comparator (or, if the set has no comparator, if fromElement does not implement Comparable).
