Class CharSeq

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Foldable<java.lang.Character>, IndexedSeq<java.lang.Character>, Seq<java.lang.Character>, Traversable<java.lang.Character>, Function1<java.lang.Integer,​java.lang.Character>, PartialFunction<java.lang.Integer,​java.lang.Character>, Value<java.lang.Character>, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.CharSequence, java.lang.Comparable<CharSeq>, java.lang.Iterable<java.lang.Character>, java.util.function.Function<java.lang.Integer,​java.lang.Character>
    public final class CharSeq
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.CharSequence, IndexedSeq<java.lang.Character>, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<CharSeq>
    The CharSeq (read: character sequence) collection essentially is a rich String wrapper having all operations we know from the functional Vavr collections.

    Note:Because CharSeq represents a sequence of primitive characters (i.e. a String), it breaks the Liskov Substitution Principle in the way, that the CharSeq cannot contain null elements. In future version of Java, CharSeq should extend IndexedSeq<char> instead.

      • asJava

        @GwtIncompatible
public java.util.List<java.lang.Character> asJava()
        Description copied from interface: Seq
        Creates an immutable List view on top of this Seq, i.e. calling mutators will result in UnsupportedOperationException at runtime.

        The difference to conversion methods toJava*() is that

        • A view is created in O(1) (constant time) whereas conversion takes O(n) (linear time), with n = collection size.
        • The operations on a view have the same performance characteristics than the underlying persistent Vavr collection whereas the performance characteristics of a converted collection are those of the Java standard collections.
        Please note that our immutable java.util.List view throws UnsupportedOperationException before checking method arguments. Java does handle this case inconsistently.
        Specified by:
        asJava in interface Seq<java.lang.Character>

 [].grouped(0) throws
 [].grouped(-1) throws
 [1,2,3,4].grouped(2) = [[1,2],[3,4]]

        • have the same element order, if the collections are of type Seq
        Two Map/Multimap elements, resp. entries, (key1, value1) and (key2, value2) are equal, if the keys are equal and the values are equal.

        Notes:

        • No collection instance equals null, e.g. Queue(1) not equals null.
        • Nulls are allowed and handled as expected, e.g. List(null, 1) equals Stream(null, 1) and HashMap((null, 1)) equals LinkedHashMap((null, 1)).
        • The element order is taken into account for Seq only. E.g. List(null, 1) not equals Stream(1, null) and HashMap((null, 1), ("a", null)) equals LinkedHashMap(("a", null), (null, 1)). The reason is, that we do not know which implementations we compare when having two instances of type Map, Multimap or Set (see Liskov Substitution Principle).
        • Other collection classes are equal if their types are equal and their elements are equal (in iteration order).
        • Iterator equality is defined to be object reference equality.

      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Description copied from interface: Traversable
        Returns the hash code of this collection.
        We distinguish between two types of hashes, those for collections with predictable iteration order (like Seq) and those with arbitrary iteration order (like Set, Map and Multimap).
        In all cases the hash of an empty collection is defined to be 1.
        Collections with predictable iteration order are hashed as follows: 
        
 int hash = 1;
 for (T t : this) { hash = hash * 31 + Objects.hashCode(t); }
        Collections with arbitrary iteration order are hashed in a way such that the hash of a fixed number of elements is independent of their iteration order. 
        
 int hash = 1;
 for (T t : this) { hash += Objects.hashCode(t); }
        Please note that the particular hashing algorithms may change in a future version of Vavr.
        Generally, hash codes of collections aren't cached in Vavr (opposed to the size/length). Storing hash codes in order to reduce the time complexity would increase the memory footprint. Persistent collections are built upon tree structures, it allows us to implement efficient memory sharing. A drawback of tree structures is that they make it necessary to store collection attributes at each tree node (read: element).
        The computation of the hash code is linear in time, i.e. O(n). If the hash code of a collection is re-calculated often, e.g. when using a List as HashMap key, we might want to cache the hash code. This can be achieved by simply using a wrapper class, which is not included in Vavr but could be implemented like this: 
        public final class Hashed<K> {

     private final K key;
     private final Lazy<Integer> hashCode;

     public Hashed(K key) {
         this.key = key;
         this.hashCode = Lazy.of(() -> Objects.hashCode(key));
     }

     public K key() {
         return key;
     }

     &#64;Override
     public boolean equals(Object o) {
         if (o == key) {
             return true;
         } else if (key != null && o instanceof Hashed) {
             final Hashed that = (Hashed) o;
             return key.equals(that.key);
         } else {
             return false;
         }
     }

     &#64;Override
     public int hashCode() {
         return hashCode.get();
     }

     &#64;Override
     public String toString() {
         return "Hashed(" + (key == null ? "null" : key.toString()) + ")";
     }

        public boolean contentEquals​(java.lang.CharSequence cs)
        Compares this string to the specified CharSequence. The result is true if and only if this CharSeq represents the same sequence of char values as the specified sequence. Note that if the CharSequence is a StringBuffer then the method synchronizes on it.
        Parameters:
        cs - The sequence to compare this CharSeq against
        Returns:
        true if this CharSeq represents the same sequence of char values as the specified sequence, false otherwise

      • equalsIgnoreCase

        public boolean equalsIgnoreCase​(CharSeq anotherString)
        Compares this CharSeq to another CharSeq, ignoring case considerations. Two strings are considered equal ignoring case if they are of the same length and corresponding characters in the two strings are equal ignoring case.

        Two characters c1 and c2 are considered the same ignoring case if at least one of the following is true:

        • The two characters are the same (as compared by the == operator)
        • Applying the method Character.toUpperCase(char) to each character produces the same result
        • Applying the method Character.toLowerCase(char) to each character produces the same result
        Parameters:
        anotherString - The CharSeq to compare this CharSeq against
        Returns:
        true if the argument is not null and it represents an equivalent CharSeq ignoring case; false otherwise
        See Also:
        equals(Object)

      • compareTo

        public int compareTo​(CharSeq anotherString)
        Compares two strings lexicographically. The comparison is based on the Unicode value of each character in the strings. The character sequence represented by this CharSeq object is compared lexicographically to the character sequence represented by the argument string. The result is a negative integer if this CharSeq object lexicographically precedes the argument string. The result is a positive integer if this CharSeq object lexicographically follows the argument string. The result is zero if the strings are equal; compareTo returns 0 exactly when the equals(Object) method would return true.

        This is the definition of lexicographic ordering. If two strings are different, then either they have different characters at some index that is a valid index for both strings, or their lengths are different, or both. If they have different characters at one or more index positions, let k be the smallest such index; then the string whose character at position k has the smaller value, as determined by using the < operator, lexicographically precedes the other string. In this case, compareTo returns the difference of the two character values at position k in the two string -- that is, the value: 

         this.charAt(k)-anotherString.charAt(k)
        If there is no index position at which they differ, then the shorter string lexicographically precedes the longer string. In this case, compareTo returns the difference of the lengths of the strings -- that is, the value: 
         this.length()-anotherString.length()
        Specified by:
        compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<CharSeq>
        Parameters:
        anotherString - the CharSeq to be compared.
        Returns:
        the value 0 if the argument string is equal to this string; a value less than 0 if this string is lexicographically less than the string argument; and a value greater than 0 if this string is lexicographically greater than the string argument.

      • compareToIgnoreCase

        public int compareToIgnoreCase​(CharSeq str)
        Compares two strings lexicographically, ignoring case differences. This method returns an integer whose sign is that of calling compareTo with normalized versions of the strings where case differences have been eliminated by calling Character.toLowerCase(Character.toUpperCase(character)) on each character.

        Note that this method does not take locale into account, and will result in an unsatisfactory ordering for certain locales. The java.text package provides collators to allow locale-sensitive ordering.

        Parameters:
        str - the CharSeq to be compared.
        Returns:
        a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the specified String is greater than, equal to, or less than this String, ignoring case considerations.

        • ooffset is negative.
        • toffset+len is greater than the length of this CharSeq object.
        • ooffset+len is greater than the length of the other argument.
        • There is some nonnegative integer k less than len such that: this.charAt(toffset + k) != other.charAt(ooffset + k)

        A substring of this CharSeq object is compared to a substring of the argument other. The result is true if these substrings represent character sequences that are the same, ignoring case if and only if ignoreCase is true. The substring of this CharSeq object to be compared begins at index toffset and has length len. The substring of other to be compared begins at index ooffset and has length len. The result is false if and only if at least one of the following is true:

        • toffset is negative.
        • ooffset is negative.
        • toffset+len is greater than the length of this CharSeq object.
        • ooffset+len is greater than the length of the other argument.

        toffset - the starting offset of the subregion in this string.
        other - the string argument.
        ooffset - the starting offset of the subregion in the string argument.
        len - the number of characters to compare.
        Returns:
        true if the specified subregion of this string matches the specified subregion of the string argument; false otherwise. Whether the matching is exact or case insensitive depends on the ignoreCase argument.

                   int fromIndex)
        Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of the specified character, starting the search at the specified index.

        If a character with value ch occurs in the character sequence represented by this CharSeq object at an index no smaller than fromIndex, then the index of the first such occurrence is returned. For values of ch in the range from 0 to 0xFFFF (inclusive), this is the smallest value k such that: 

         (this.charAt(k) == ch) && (k >= fromIndex)
        is true. For other values of ch, it is the smallest value k such that: 
         (this.codePointAt(k) == ch) && (k >= fromIndex)
        is true. In either case, if no such character occurs in this string at or after position fromIndex, then -1 is returned.

        There is no restriction on the value of fromIndex. If it is negative, it has the same effect as if it were zero: this entire string may be searched. If it is greater than the length of this string, it has the same effect as if it were equal to the length of this string: -1 is returned.

        All indices are specified in char values (Unicode code units).

        Parameters:
        ch - a character (Unicode code point).
        fromIndex - the index to start the search from.
        Returns:
        the index of the first occurrence of the character in the character sequence represented by this object that is greater than or equal to fromIndex, or -1 if the character does not occur.

      • lastIndexOf

        public int lastIndexOf​(int ch)
        Returns the index within this string of the last occurrence of the specified character. For values of ch in the range from 0 to 0xFFFF (inclusive), the index (in Unicode code units) returned is the largest value k such that: 
         this.charAt(k) == ch
        is true. For other values of ch, it is the largest value k such that: 
         this.codePointAt(k) == ch
        is true. In either case, if no such character occurs in this string, then -1 is returned. The CharSeq is searched backwards starting at the last character.
        Parameters:
        ch - a character (Unicode code point).
        Returns:
        the index of the last occurrence of the character in the character sequence represented by this object, or -1 if the character does not occur.

        is true. For other values of ch, it is the largest value k such that: 
         (this.codePointAt(k) == ch) && (k <= fromIndex)
        is true. In either case, if no such character occurs in this string at or before position fromIndex, then -1 is returned.

        All indices are specified in char values (Unicode code units).

        Parameters:
        ch - a character (Unicode code point).
        fromIndex - the index to start the search from. There is no restriction on the value of fromIndex. If it is greater than or equal to the length of this string, it has the same effect as if it were equal to one less than the length of this string: this entire string may be searched. If it is negative, it has the same effect as if it were -1: -1 is returned.
        Returns:
        the index of the last occurrence of the character in the character sequence represented by this object that is less than or equal to fromIndex, or -1 if the character does not occur before that point.

        public CharSeq replaceFirst​(java.lang.String regex,
                            java.lang.String replacement)
        Replaces the first substring of this string that matches the given regular expression with the given replacement.

        An invocation of this method of the form str.replaceFirst(regex, repl) yields exactly the same result as the expression

        Pattern.compile(regex).matcher(str).replaceFirst(repl)
        Note that backslashes (\) and dollar signs ($) in the replacement string may cause the results to be different than if it were being treated as a literal replacement string; see Matcher.replaceFirst(java.lang.String). Use Matcher.quoteReplacement(java.lang.String) to suppress the special meaning of these characters, if desired.
        Parameters:
        regex - the regular expression to which this string is to be matched
        replacement - the string to be substituted for the first match
        Returns:
        The resulting CharSeq

        public CharSeq replaceAll​(java.lang.String regex,
                          java.lang.String replacement)
        Replaces each substring of this string that matches the given regular expression with the given replacement.

        An invocation of this method of the form str.replaceAll(regex, repl) yields exactly the same result as the expression

        Pattern.compile(regex).matcher(str).replaceAll(repl)
        Note that backslashes (\) and dollar signs ($) in the replacement string may cause the results to be different than if it were being treated as a literal replacement string; see Matcher.replaceAll. Use Matcher.quoteReplacement(java.lang.String) to suppress the special meaning of these characters, if desired.
        Parameters:
        regex - the regular expression to which this string is to be matched
        replacement - the string to be substituted for each match
        Returns:
        The resulting CharSeq
        Throws:
        java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException - if the regular expression's syntax is invalid

      • replace

        public CharSeq replace​(java.lang.CharSequence target,
                       java.lang.CharSequence replacement)
        Replaces each substring of this string that matches the literal target sequence with the specified literal replacement sequence. The replacement proceeds from the beginning of the string to the end, for example, replacing "aa" with "b" in the string "aaa" will result in "ba" rather than "ab".
        Parameters:
        target - The sequence of char values to be replaced
        replacement - The replacement sequence of char values
        Returns:
        The resulting string

      • split

        public Seq<CharSeq> split​(java.lang.String regex)
        Splits this string around matches of the given regular expression.

        This method works as if by invoking the two-argument split(String, int) method with the given expression and a limit argument of zero. Trailing empty strings are therefore not included in the resulting Seq.

        The string "boo:and:foo", for example, yields the following results with these expressions:

        Split examples showing regex and result
        Regex Result
        : { "boo", "and", "foo" }
        o { "b", "", ":and:f" }
        Parameters:
        regex - the delimiting regular expression
        Returns:
        the Seq of strings computed by splitting this string around matches of the given regular expression
        Throws:
        java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException - if the regular expression's syntax is invalid
        See Also:
        Pattern

      • split

        public Seq<CharSeq> split​(java.lang.String regex,
                          int limit)
        Splits this string around matches of the given regular expression.

        The array returned by this method contains each substring of this string that is terminated by another substring that matches the given expression or is terminated by the end of the string. The substrings in the array are in the order in which they occur in this string. If the expression does not match any part of the input then the resulting array has just one element, namely this string.

        When there is a positive-width match at the beginning of this string then an empty leading substring is included at the beginning of the resulting array. A zero-width match at the beginning however never produces such empty leading substring.

        The limit parameter controls the number of times the pattern is applied and therefore affects the length of the resulting array. If the limit n is greater than zero then the pattern will be applied at most n - 1 times, the array's length will be no greater than n, and the array's last entry will contain all input beyond the last matched delimiter. If n is non-positive then the pattern will be applied as many times as possible and the array can have any length. If n is zero then the pattern will be applied as many times as possible, the array can have any length, and trailing empty strings will be discarded.

        The string "boo:and:foo", for example, yields the following results with these parameters:

        Split example showing regex, limit, and result
        Regex Limit Result
        : 2 { "boo", "and:foo" }
        : 5 { "boo", "and", "foo" }
        : -2 { "boo", "and", "foo" }
        o 5 { "b", "", ":and:f", "", "" }
        o -2 { "b", "", ":and:f", "", "" }
        o 0 { "b", "", ":and:f" }
        An invocation of this method of the form str.split(regex, n) yields the same result as the expression
        Pattern.compile(regex).split(str, n)
        Parameters:
        regex - the delimiting regular expression
        limit - the result threshold, as described above
        Returns:
        the Seq of strings computed by splitting this string around matches of the given regular expression
        Throws:
        java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException - if the regular expression's syntax is invalid

      • toLowerCase

        public CharSeq toLowerCase​(java.util.Locale locale)
        Converts all of the characters in this CharSeq to lower case using the rules of the given Locale. Case mapping is based on the Unicode Standard version specified by the Character class. Since case mappings are not always 1:1 char mappings, the resulting CharSeq may be a different length than the original CharSeq.

        Examples of lowercase mappings are in the following table:

        Returns:
        the CharSeq, converted to lowercase.
        See Also:
        String.toLowerCase(), String.toUpperCase(), String.toUpperCase(Locale)

      • toLowerCase

        public CharSeq toLowerCase()
        Converts all of the characters in this CharSeq to lower case using the rules of the default locale. This is equivalent to calling toLowerCase(Locale.getDefault()).

        Note: This method is locale sensitive, and may produce unexpected results if used for strings that are intended to be interpreted locale independently. Examples are programming language identifiers, protocol keys, and HTML tags. For instance, "TITLE".toLowerCase() in a Turkish locale returns "t\u0131tle", where '\u0131' is the LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I character. To obtain correct results for locale insensitive strings, use toLowerCase(Locale.ROOT).

        Returns:
        the CharSeq, converted to lowercase.
        See Also:
        String.toLowerCase(Locale)

      • toUpperCase

        public CharSeq toUpperCase​(java.util.Locale locale)
        Converts all of the characters in this CharSeq to upper case using the rules of the given Locale. Case mapping is based on the Unicode Standard version specified by the Character class. Since case mappings are not always 1:1 char mappings, the resulting CharSeq may be a different length than the original CharSeq.

        Examples of locale-sensitive and 1:M case mappings are in the following table.

      • toUpperCase

        public CharSeq toUpperCase()
        Converts all of the characters in this CharSeq to upper case using the rules of the default locale. This method is equivalent to toUpperCase(Locale.getDefault()).

        Note: This method is locale sensitive, and may produce unexpected results if used for strings that are intended to be interpreted locale independently. Examples are programming language identifiers, protocol keys, and HTML tags. For instance, "title".toUpperCase() in a Turkish locale returns "T\u0130TLE", where '\u0130' is the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE character. To obtain correct results for locale insensitive strings, use toUpperCase(Locale.ROOT).

        Returns:
        the CharSeq, converted to uppercase.
        See Also:
        String.toUpperCase(Locale)

      • capitalize

        public CharSeq capitalize​(java.util.Locale locale)
        Converts the first character in this CharSeq to upper case using the rules of the given Locale. If the CharSeq is empty, it won't have any effect. Case mapping is based on the Unicode Standard version specified by the Character class. Since case mappings are not always 1:1 char mappings, the resulting CharSeq may be a different length than the original CharSeq.

        Examples of locale-sensitive and 1:M case mappings are in the following table.

        Examples of locale-sensitive and 1:M case mappings. Shows Language code of locale, lower case, upper case, and description.
        Language Code of Locale Lower Case Upper Case Description
        tr (Turkish) \u0069 \u0130 small letter i -> capital letter I with dot above
        tr (Turkish) \u0131 \u0049 small letter dotless i -> capital letter I
        (all) \u00df \u0053 \u0053 small letter sharp s -> two letters: SS
        (all) Fahrvergnügen FAHRVERGNÜGEN
        Parameters:
        locale - use the case transformation rules for this locale
        Returns:
        the CharSeq, capitalized.

      • capitalize

        public CharSeq capitalize()
        Converts the first character in this CharSeq to upper case using the rules of the default locale. If the CharSeq is empty, it won't have any effect. This method is equivalent to capitalize(Locale.getDefault()).

        Note: This method is locale sensitive, and may produce unexpected results if used for strings that are intended to be interpreted locale independently. Examples are programming language identifiers, protocol keys, and HTML tags. For instance, "title".toUpperCase() in a Turkish locale returns "T\u0130TLE", where '\u0130' is the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE character. To obtain correct results for locale insensitive strings, use toUpperCase(Locale.ROOT).

        Returns:
        the CharSeq, capitalized.

      • trim

        public CharSeq trim()
        Returns a string whose value is this string, with any leading and trailing whitespace removed.

        If this CharSeq object represents an empty character sequence, or the first and last characters of character sequence represented by this CharSeq object both have codes greater than '\u0020' (the space character), then a reference to this CharSeq object is returned.

        Otherwise, if there is no character with a code greater than '\u0020' in the string, then a CharSeq object representing an empty string is returned.

        Otherwise, let k be the index of the first character in the string whose code is greater than '\u0020', and let m be the index of the last character in the string whose code is greater than '\u0020'. A CharSeq object is returned, representing the substring of this string that begins with the character at index k and ends with the character at index m-that is, the result of this.substring(k, m + 1).

        This method may be used to trim whitespace (as defined above) from the beginning and end of a string.

        Returns:
        A string whose value is this string, with any leading and trailing white space removed, or this string if it has no leading or trailing white space.
