public static class CharSets.EmptySet
extends CharCollections.EmptyCollection

An immutable class representing the empty set and implementing a type-specific set interface.

This class may be useful to implement your own in case you subclass a type-specific set.

    • remove

      public boolean remove​(char ok)
      Description copied from interface: CharSet
      Removes an element from this set.

      Note that the corresponding method of a type-specific collection is rem(). This unfortunate situation is caused by the clash with the similarly named index-based method in the List interface.

    • rem

      @Deprecated public boolean rem​(char k)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCharCollection
      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().

      This implementation iterates over the elements in the collection, looking for the specified element and tries to remove it.
