        public abstract CharIterator iterator()
        Description copied from interface: CharCollection
        Returns a type-specific iterator on the elements of this collection.

      • add

        public boolean add​(char k)
        Ensures that this collection contains the specified element (optional operation).
        Specified by:
        add in interface CharCollection
        See Also:
        Collection.add(Object)
        Implementation Specification:
        This implementation always throws an UnsupportedOperationException.
      • contains

        public boolean contains​(char k)
        Returns true if this collection contains the specified element.
        Specified by:
        contains in interface CharCollection
        See Also:
        Collection.contains(Object)
        Implementation Specification:
        This implementation iterates over the elements in the collection, looking for the specified element.
      • rem

        public boolean rem​(char k)
        Removes a single instance of the specified element from this collection, if it is present (optional operation).

        Note that this method should be called remove(), but the clash with the similarly named index-based method in the List interface forces us to use a distinguished name. For simplicity, the set interfaces reinstates remove().

        rem in interface CharCollection
        See Also:
        Collection.remove(Object)
        Implementation Specification:
        This implementation iterates over the elements in the collection, looking for the specified element and tries to remove it.
