Package	system.collections
Inheritance	class CList » CComponent

CList implements an integer-indexed collection class.

You can access, append, insert, remove an item by using itemAt, add, insertAt, remove, and removeAt. To get the number of the items in the list, use getCount. CList can also be used like a regular array as follows,

$list[]=$item;  // append at the end
$list[$index]=$item; // $index must be between 0 and $list->Count
unset($list[$index]); // remove the item at $index
if(isset($list[$index])) // if the list has an item at $index
foreach($list as $index=>$item) // traverse each item in the list
$n=count($list); // returns the number of items in the list

To extend CList by doing additional operations with each addition or removal operation (e.g. performing type check), override insertAt(), and removeAt().

Property Details

count property read-only

public integer getCount()

the number of items in the list

iterator property read-only

public Iterator getIterator()

Returns an iterator for traversing the items in the list. This method is required by the interface IteratorAggregate.

readOnly property

public boolean getReadOnly()
protected void setReadOnly(boolean $value)

whether this list is read-only or not. Defaults to false.

Method Details

__construct() method

public void __construct(array $data=NULL, boolean $readOnly=false)
$data	array	the initial data. Default is null, meaning no initialization.
$readOnly	boolean	whether the list is read-only

Constructor. Initializes the list with an array or an iterable object.

add() method

public integer add(mixed $item)
$item	mixed	new item
{return}	integer	the zero-based index at which the item is added

Appends an item at the end of the list.

clear() method

public void clear()

Removes all items in the list.

contains() method

public boolean contains(mixed $item)
$item	mixed	the item
{return}	boolean	whether the list contains the item

copyFrom() method

public void copyFrom(mixed $data)
$data	mixed	the data to be copied from, must be an array or object implementing Traversable

Copies iterable data into the list. Note, existing data in the list will be cleared first.

count() method

public integer count()
{return}	integer	number of items in the list.

Returns the number of items in the list. This method is required by Countable interface.

getCount() method

public integer getCount()
{return}	integer	the number of items in the list

getIterator() method

public Iterator getIterator()
{return}	Iterator	an iterator for traversing the items in the list.

Returns an iterator for traversing the items in the list. This method is required by the interface IteratorAggregate.

getReadOnly() method

public boolean getReadOnly()
{return}	boolean	whether this list is read-only or not. Defaults to false.

indexOf() method

public integer indexOf(mixed $item)
$item	mixed	the item
{return}	integer	the index of the item in the list (0 based), -1 if not found.

insertAt() method

public void insertAt(integer $index, mixed $item)
$index	integer	the specified position.
$item	mixed	new item

Inserts an item at the specified position. Original item at the position and the next items will be moved one step towards the end.

itemAt() method

public mixed itemAt(integer $index)
$index	integer	the index of the item
{return}	mixed	the item at the index

Returns the item at the specified offset. This method is exactly the same as offsetGet.
