Method Detail

of

public static <E> ImmutableSet<E> of()

Returns the empty immutable set. Preferred over Collections.emptySet() for code consistency, and because the return type conveys the immutability guarantee.

of

public static <E> ImmutableSet<E> of(E element)

Returns an immutable set containing element. Preferred over Collections.singleton(T) for code consistency, null rejection, and because the return type conveys the immutability guarantee.

of

public static <E> ImmutableSet<E> of(E e1,
                                     E e2)

Returns an immutable set containing the given elements, minus duplicates, in the order each was first specified. That is, if multiple elements are equal, all except the first are ignored.

of

public static <E> ImmutableSet<E> of(E e1,
                                     E e2,
                                     E e3)

Returns an immutable set containing the given elements, minus duplicates, in the order each was first specified. That is, if multiple elements are equal, all except the first are ignored.

of

public static <E> ImmutableSet<E> of(E e1,
                                     E e2,

                                     E e4)

Returns an immutable set containing the given elements, minus duplicates, in the order each was first specified. That is, if multiple elements are equal, all except the first are ignored.

of

public static <E> ImmutableSet<E> of(E e1,
                                     E e2,
                                     E e3,

                                     E e5)

Returns an immutable set containing the given elements, minus duplicates, in the order each was first specified. That is, if multiple elements are equal, all except the first are ignored.

Returns an immutable set containing the given elements, minus duplicates, in the order each was first specified. That is, if multiple elements are equal, all except the first are ignored.

copyOf

public static <E> ImmutableSet<E> copyOf(Collection<? extends E> elements)

Returns an immutable set containing each of elements, minus duplicates, in the order each appears first in the source collection.

Performance note: This method will sometimes recognize that the actual copy operation is unnecessary; for example, copyOf(copyOf(anArrayList)) will copy the data only once. This reduces the expense of habitually making defensive copies at API boundaries. However, the precise conditions for skipping the copy operation are undefined.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if any of elements is null

Since:

7.0 (source-compatible since 2.0)

copyOf

public static <E> ImmutableSet<E> copyOf(Iterable<? extends E> elements)

Returns an immutable set containing each of elements, minus duplicates, in the order each appears first in the source iterable. This method iterates over elements only once.

Performance note: This method will sometimes recognize that the actual copy operation is unnecessary; for example, copyOf(copyOf(anArrayList)) should copy the data only once. This reduces the expense of habitually making defensive copies at API boundaries. However, the precise conditions for skipping the copy operation are undefined.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if any of elements is null

copyOf

public static <E> ImmutableSet<E> copyOf(Iterator<? extends E> elements)

Returns an immutable set containing each of elements, minus duplicates, in the order each appears first in the source iterator.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if any of elements is null

copyOf

public static <E> ImmutableSet<E> copyOf(E[] elements)

Returns an immutable set containing each of elements, minus duplicates, in the order each appears first in the source array.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if any of elements is null

equals

public boolean equals(@Nullable

iterator

public abstract UnmodifiableIterator<E> iterator()

Description copied from class: ImmutableCollection

Returns an unmodifiable iterator across the elements in this collection.

asList

public ImmutableList<E> asList()

Description copied from class: ImmutableCollection

Returns an ImmutableList containing the same elements, in the same order, as this collection.

Performance note: in most cases this method can return quickly without actually copying anything. The exact circumstances under which the copy is performed are undefined and subject to change.

Overrides:

asList in class ImmutableCollection<E>

builder

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

Returns a new builder. The generated builder is equivalent to the builder created by the ImmutableSet.Builder constructor.

builderWithExpectedSize

@Beta
public static <E> ImmutableSet.Builder<E> builderWithExpectedSize(int expectedSize)

Returns a new builder, expecting the specified number of distinct elements to be added.

If expectedSize is exactly the number of distinct elements added to the builder before ImmutableSet.Builder.build() is called, the builder is likely to perform better than an unsized builder() would have.

It is not specified if any performance benefits apply if expectedSize is close to, but not exactly, the number of distinct elements added to the builder.
