All Implemented Interfaces:
CharCollection, CharIterable, CharSet, Serializable, Cloneable, Iterable<Character>, Collection<Character>, Set<Character>

public class CharArraySet
extends AbstractCharSet
implements Serializable, Cloneable
A simple, brute-force implementation of a set based on a backing array.

The main purpose of this implementation is that of wrapping cleanly the brute-force approach to the storage of a very small number of items: just put them into an array and scan linearly to find an item.

      public CharArraySet​(int capacity)
      Creates a new empty array set of given initial capacity.
      Parameters:
      capacity - the initial capacity.
