30/**
31 * An ordered collection (also known as a <i>sequence</i>).  The user of this
32 * interface has precise control over where in the list each element is
33 * inserted.  The user can access elements by their integer index (position in
34 * the list), and search for elements in the list.<p>
35 *
36 * Unlike sets, lists typically allow duplicate elements.  More formally,
37 * lists typically allow pairs of elements <tt>e1</tt> and <tt>e2</tt>
38 * such that <tt>e1.equals(e2)</tt>, and they typically allow multiple
39 * null elements if they allow null elements at all.  It is not inconceivable
40 * that someone might wish to implement a list that prohibits duplicates, by
41 * throwing runtime exceptions when the user attempts to insert them, but we
42 * expect this usage to be rare.<p>
43 *
44 * The <tt>List</tt> interface places additional stipulations, beyond those
45 * specified in the <tt>Collection</tt> interface, on the contracts of the
46 * <tt>iterator</tt>, <tt>add</tt>, <tt>remove</tt>, <tt>equals</tt>, and
47 * <tt>hashCode</tt> methods.  Declarations for other inherited methods are
48 * also included here for convenience.<p>
49 *
50 * The <tt>List</tt> interface provides four methods for positional (indexed)
51 * access to list elements.  Lists (like Java arrays) are zero based.  Note
52 * that these operations may execute in time proportional to the index value
53 * for some implementations (the <tt>LinkedList</tt> class, for
54 * example). Thus, iterating over the elements in a list is typically
55 * preferable to indexing through it if the caller does not know the
56 * implementation.<p>
57 *
58 * The <tt>List</tt> interface provides a special iterator, called a
59 * <tt>ListIterator</tt>, that allows element insertion and replacement, and
60 * bidirectional access in addition to the normal operations that the
61 * <tt>Iterator</tt> interface provides.  A method is provided to obtain a
62 * list iterator that starts at a specified position in the list.<p>
63 *
64 * The <tt>List</tt> interface provides two methods to search for a specified
65 * object.  From a performance standpoint, these methods should be used with
66 * caution.  In many implementations they will perform costly linear
67 * searches.<p>
68 *
69 * The <tt>List</tt> interface provides two methods to efficiently insert and
70 * remove multiple elements at an arbitrary point in the list.<p>
71 *
72 * Note: While it is permissible for lists to contain themselves as elements,
73 * extreme caution is advised: the <tt>equals</tt> and <tt>hashCode</tt>
74 * methods are no longer well defined on such a list.
75 *
76 * <p>Some list implementations have restrictions on the elements that
77 * they may contain.  For example, some implementations prohibit null elements,
78 * and some have restrictions on the types of their elements.  Attempting to
79 * add an ineligible element throws an unchecked exception, typically
80 * <tt>NullPointerException</tt> or <tt>ClassCastException</tt>.  Attempting
81 * to query the presence of an ineligible element may throw an exception,
82 * or it may simply return false; some implementations will exhibit the former
83 * behavior and some will exhibit the latter.  More generally, attempting an
84 * operation on an ineligible element whose completion would not result in
85 * the insertion of an ineligible element into the list may throw an
86 * exception or it may succeed, at the option of the implementation.
87 * Such exceptions are marked as "optional" in the specification for this
88 * interface.
