public class SkipFirstIterable<T>
extends AbstractIterable<T>
implements SizedIterable<T>, OptimizedLastIterable<T>, Composite, Serializable

Contains all but the first element of a wrapped iterable. (If the wrapped iterable is empty, this is empty as well.) Changes made to the underlying list are reflected here. This provides a general, but clumsy, way to decompose arbitrary iterables (that is, access the "rest" of some iterable). Care should be taken in using this approach, however, as the first value is skipped on every invocation of iterator. Thus, an iterable composed of multiple nested SkipFirstIterables will have poor performance in comparison to other solutions. For better performance or recursive list-decomposing algorithms, use a ConsList.

Constructor Detail

SkipFirstIterable

public SkipFirstIterable(Iterable<T> iterable)

Method Detail

compositeHeight

public int compositeHeight()

Description copied from interface: Composite

Get the maximum path length from this node to a leaf.

Specified by:

compositeHeight in interface Composite

compositeSize

public int compositeSize()

Description copied from interface: Composite

Get the number of nodes in the tree rooted at this node. Always 1 or greater.

Specified by:

compositeSize in interface Composite

iterator

public Iterator<T> iterator()

Specified by:

iterator in interface Iterable<T>

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Description copied from interface: SizedIterable

Whether the iterable does not contain any elements.

Specified by:

isEmpty in interface SizedIterable<T>

size

public int size()

Description copied from interface: SizedIterable

Compute the number of elements in the iterable. If the size is infinite or too large to be represented as an int, Integer.MAX_VALUE should be returned. Otherwise, next() may be safely invoked on the iterator exactly this number of times.

Specified by:

size in interface SizedIterable<T>

size

public int size(int bound)

Description copied from interface: SizedIterable

Compute the number of elements in the iterable, up to the given bound. If the size is infinite or greater than bound, bound is returned.

Specified by:

size in interface SizedIterable<T>

Parameters:

bound - Maximum result. Assumed to be nonnegative.

isInfinite

public boolean isInfinite()

Description copied from interface: SizedIterable

true if the iterable is known to have infinite size. If true, an iterator over the iterable in its current state will never return false from hasNext().

Specified by:

isInfinite in interface SizedIterable<T>

hasFixedSize

public boolean hasFixedSize()

Description copied from interface: SizedIterable

true if this iterable is known to have a fixed size. This is the case if the iterable is immutable, or if changes can only replace values, not remove or add them. An infinite iterable may be fixed if it is guaranteed to never become finite.

Specified by:

hasFixedSize in interface SizedIterable<T>

isStatic

public boolean isStatic()

Description copied from interface: SizedIterable

true if this iterable is unchanging. This implies that hasFixedSize() is true, and that iterator() will always return the same (either == or equal() and immutable) elements in the same order. ("Immutable" here means that equals() invocations are consistent over time -- if two objects are equal, they will never become inequal, and vice versa.)

Specified by:

isStatic in interface SizedIterable<T>

last

public T last()

Description copied from interface: OptimizedLastIterable

Get the last element of the list. Assumed to execute more quickly than a traversal over all elements.

Specified by:

last in interface OptimizedLastIterable<T>

make

public static <T> SkipFirstIterable<T> make(Iterable<T> iterable)

Call the constructor (allows T to be inferred)

makeSnapshot

public static <T> SnapshotIterable<T> makeSnapshot(Iterable<T> iterable)

Create a SkipFirstIterable and wrap it in a SnapshotIterable, forcing immediate traversal of the list.
