First, Retainall method
Public boolean retainall (collection<?> c) { // Call Own Private method return true); }
Second, Batchremove method analysis
Returns True if this collection is changed because of a call
//Collection A compares the intersection with SET B Private BooleanBatchremove (collection<?> C,Booleancomplement) { //get all elements of the current object Finalobject[] Elementdata = This. Elementdata; //W: Mark the number of common elements in two sets intR = 0, W = 0; //set Flag bit BooleanModified =false; Try { //Traversing Collection A for(; r < size; r++) //determines whether the current element in collection A is contained in collection B if(C.contains (elementdata[r]) = =complement)//if it is included, it is saved directly. elementdata[w++] =Elementdata[r]; } finally { //if C.contains () throws an exception if(r! =size) { //Copy the remaining elementssystem.arraycopy (Elementdata, R, Elementdata, W, Size-R); //W is the length of the current set aW + = size-R; } //if the size of set A is released to change if(W! =size) { //Clear Work for(inti = W; i < size; i++) Elementdata[i]=NULL; //changes to elements in the record set (Add/remove)Modcount + = size-W; //sets the size of the current arraySize =W; //return to TrueModified =true; } } returnmodified; }
1, about the Modcount variable description
The abstractlist contains a modcount variable whose initial value is 0, and when the contents of the collection are modified every time (call Add (), remove (), and so on), Modcount plus 1
2, about the return value of the description
Returns False if the size of the collection A array does not change. If collection A and collection B are identical collections, false is also returned.
Public Static void Main (string[] args) { ArrayListnew arraylist<string>(); Lista.add ("Tom"); ArrayListNew arraylist<string>(); Listb.add ("Tom"); System.out.println (Lista.retainall (LISTB)); //false }
Returns true even if the two sets have no intersection.
Public Static void Main (string[] args) { ArrayListnew arraylist<string>(); Lista.add ("Tom"); ArrayListNew arraylist<string>(); Listb.add ("Jack"); System.out.println (Lista.retainall (LISTB)); // true }
So, let's remember that when the size of set a changes, the return is true, and the size does not change when the return is false.
Third, correct use of Retainall method
Public Static voidMain (string[] args) {ArrayList<String> Lista=NewArraylist<string>(); Lista.add ("Tom"); ArrayList<String> listb=NewArraylist<string>(); Listb.add ("Tom"); Lista.retainall (LISTB); if(Lista.size () >0) {System.out.println ("The two collections have the same intersection"); }Else{System.out.println ("These two collections do not have the same intersection"); } }
1, first call the method of Retainall
2. Determine if there is an intersection by judging the size of the set. cannot be judged by the true and False returned by the method.
Take you right to use the Retainall method of list to find the intersection
