42 * Abstract superclass to make it easier to implement the List interface when
43 * backed by a sequential-access store, such as a linked list. For random
44 * access data, use AbstractList. This class implements the random access
45 * methods (<code>get</code>, <code>set</code>, <code>add</code>, and
46 * <code>remove</code>) atop the list iterator, opposite of AbstractList's
47 * approach of implementing the iterator atop random access.
50 * To implement a list, you need an implementation for <code>size()</code>
51 * and <code>listIterator</code>. With just <code>hasNext</code>,
52 * <code>next</code>, <code>hasPrevious</code>, <code>previous</code>,
53 * <code>nextIndex</code>, and <code>previousIndex</code>, you have an
54 * unmodifiable list. For a modifiable one, add <code>set</code>, and for
55 * a variable-size list, add <code>add</code> and <code>remove</code>.
58 * The programmer should provide a no-argument constructor, and one that
59 * accepts another Collection, as recommended by the Collection interface.
60 * Unfortunately, there is no way to enforce this in Java.
