Method Detail

difference

public static <T> void difference(java.util.Collection<T> one,
                                  java.util.Collection<T> other)

Removes all of the first given collection's elements that are also contained in the second given collection.

Type Parameters:

T - the generic type

Parameters:

one - the collection where the element will be removed if any containing elements exists

other - collection containing elements to be removed from the first given collection

hashCode

public static <T> int hashCode(java.util.Collection<T[]> arrayObjects)

Returns a hash code based on the contents of the collection that contains array objects.

Type Parameters:

T - the generic type of the array objects

Parameters:

arrayObjects - the collection that contains array objects whose content-based hash code to compute

Returns:

the content-based hash code for the given collection that contains array objects

intersection

@SafeVarargs
public static <T> java.util.Collection<T> intersection(java.util.Collection<T>... toIntersect)

Intersection of the given collections. Internally this method uses the Collection.retainAll(Collection) for come to the result.

Type Parameters:

T - the generic type

Parameters:

toIntersect - the to intersect

Returns:

the result of the intersection. This will be the first collection that contains the result.

isEmpty

public static <T> boolean isEmpty(java.util.Collection<T> collection)

Checks if the given Collection is null or empty.

Type Parameters:

T - the generic type

Parameters:

collection - The collection to check

Returns:

true if the given Collection is null or empty otherwise false.

isEqualCollection

public static <T> boolean isEqualCollection(java.util.Collection<T> one,
                                            java.util.Collection<T> other)

Compare the given two Collection objects in equality.

Type Parameters:

T - the generic type of the elements

Parameters:

one - the one

other - the other

Returns:

true, if the given two Collection objects are equal otherwise false

isNotEmpty

public static <T> boolean isNotEmpty(java.util.Collection<T> collection)

Checks if the given Collection is not null or empty

Type Parameters:

T - the generic type

Parameters:

collection - The collection to check
