Class ResizingArrayBag<Item>

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Iterable<Item>

    public class ResizingArrayBag<Item>
    extends Object
    implements Iterable<Item>
    The ResizingArrayBag class represents a bag (or multiset) of generic items. It supports insertion and iterating over the items in arbitrary order.

    This implementation uses a resizing array. See LinkedBag for a version that uses a singly linked list. The add operation takes constant amortized time; the isEmpty, and size operations take constant time. Iteration takes time proportional to the number of items.

    For additional documentation, see Section 1.3 of Algorithms, 4th Edition by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.
