A collection 34 * represents a group of objects, known as its <i>elements</i>. Some 35 * collections allow duplicate elements and others do not. Some are ordered 36 * and others unordered. The JDK does not provide any <i>direct</i> 37 * implementations of this interface: it provides implementations of more 38 * specific subinterfaces like <tt>Set</tt> and <tt>List</tt>. This interface 39 * is typically used to pass collections around and manipulate them where 40 * maximum generality is desired. 41 * 42 * <p><i>Bags</i> or <i>multisets</i> (unordered collections that may contain 43 * duplicate elements) should implement this interface directly. 44 * 45 * <p>All general-purpose <tt>Collection</tt> implementation classes (which 46 * typically implement <tt>Collection</tt> indirectly through one of its 47 * subinterfaces) should provide two "standard" constructors: a void (no 48 * arguments) constructor, which creates an empty collection, and a 49 * constructor with a single argument of type <tt>Collection</tt>, which 50 * creates a new collection with the same elements as its argument. In 51 * effect, the latter constructor allows the user to copy any collection, 52 * producing an equivalent collection of the desired implementation type. 53 * There is no way to enforce this convention (as interfaces cannot contain 54 * constructors) but all of the general-purpose <tt>Collection</tt> 55 * implementations in the Java platform libraries comply. 56 * 57 * <p>The "destructive" methods contained in this interface, that is, the 58 * methods that modify the collection on which they operate, are specified to 59 * throw <tt>UnsupportedOperationException</tt> if this collection does not 60 * support the operation. If this is the case, these methods may, but are not 61 * required to, throw an <tt>UnsupportedOperationException</tt> if the 62 * invocation would have no effect on the collection. For example, invoking 63 * the {@link #addAll(Collection)} method on an unmodifiable collection may, 64 * but is not required to, throw the exception if the collection to be added 65 * is empty. 66 * 67 * <p><a name="optional-restrictions"> 68 * Some collection implementations have restrictions on the elements that 69 * they may contain.</a> For example, some implementations prohibit null elements, 70 * and some have restrictions on the types of their elements. Attempting to 71 * add an ineligible element throws an unchecked exception, typically 72 * <tt>NullPointerException</tt> or <tt>ClassCastException</tt>. Attempting 73 * to query the presence of an ineligible element may throw an exception, 74 * or it may simply return false; some implementations will exhibit the former 75 * behavior and some will exhibit the latter. More generally, attempting an 76 * operation on an ineligible element whose completion would not result in 77 * the insertion of an ineligible element into the collection may throw an 78 * exception or it may succeed, at the option of the implementation. 79 * Such exceptions are marked as "optional" in the specification for this 80 * interface. 81 * 82 * <p>It is up to each collection to determine its own synchronization 83 * policy. In the absence of a stronger guarantee by the 84 * implementation, undefined behavior may result from the invocation 85 * of any method on a collection that is being mutated by another 86 * thread; this includes direct invocations, passing the collection to 87 * a method that might perform invocations, and using an existing 88 * iterator to examine the collection. 89 * 90 * <p>Many methods in Collections Framework interfaces are defined in 91 * terms of the {@link Object#equals(Object) equals} method. For example, 92 * the specification for the {@link #contains(Object) contains(Object o)} 93 * method says: "returns <tt>true</tt> if and only if this collection 94 * contains at least one element <tt>e</tt> such that 95 * <tt>(o==null ? e==null : o.equals(e))</tt>." This specification should 96 * <i>not</i> be construed to imply that invoking <tt>Collection.contains</tt> 97 * with a non-null argument <tt>o</tt> will cause <tt>o.equals(e)</tt> to be 98 * invoked for any element <tt>e</tt>. Implementations are free to implement 99 * optimizations whereby the <tt>equals</tt> invocation is avoided, for 100 * example, by first comparing the hash codes of the two elements. (The 101 * {@link Object#hashCode()} specification guarantees that two objects with 102 * unequal hash codes cannot be equal.) More generally, implementations of 103 * the various Collections Framework interfaces are free to take advantage of 104 * the specified behavior of underlying {@link Object} methods wherever the 105 * implementor deems it appropriate. 106 * 107 * <p>Some collection operations which perform recursive traversal of the 108 * collection may fail with an exception for self-referential instances where 109 * the collection directly or indirectly contains itself. This includes the 110 * {@code clone()}, {@code equals()}, {@code hashCode()} and {@code toString()} 111 * methods. Implementations may optionally handle the self-referential scenario, 112 * however most current implementations do not do so. 113 * 114 * <p>This interface is a member of the 115 * <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/collections/index.html"> 116 * Java Collections Framework</a>. 117 * 118 * @implSpec 119 * The default method implementations (inherited or otherwise) do not apply any 120 * synchronization protocol.
