- groovy.lang.ListWithDefault

- All Implemented Interfaces and Traits:
    List

      public final class ListWithDefault
      extends Object

  A wrapper for List which automatically grows the list when either get(int) or getAt(int) is called with an index greater than or equal to `size()`.

    - #### public boolean add(T t)

    - #### public void add(int i, T t)

    - #### public boolean addAll(Collection<? extends T> ts)

    - #### public boolean addAll(int i, Collection<? extends T> ts)

    - #### public void clear()

    - #### public boolean contains(Object o)

    - #### public boolean containsAll(Collection<?> objects)

    - #### @Override public boolean equals(Object obj)

    - #### public T get(int index)

      Returns the element at the given index but grows the list if needed. If the requested `index` is greater than or equal to `size()`, the list will grow to the new size and a default value calculated using the `initClosure` will be used to populate the missing value and returned.

      If `lazyDefaultValues` is `true` any gaps when growing the list are filled with nulls. Subsequent attempts to retrieve items from the list from those gap index values will, upon finding null, call the `initClosure` to populate the list for the given list value. Hence, when in this mode, nulls cannot be stored in this list. If `lazyDefaultValues` is `false` any gaps when growing the list are filled eagerly by calling the `initClosure` for all gap indexes during list growth. No calls to `initClosure` are made except during list growth and it is ok to store null values in the list when in this mode.

      This implementation breaks the contract of List.get as it a) possibly modifies the underlying list and b) does NOT throw an IndexOutOfBoundsException when `index < 0 || index >= size()`.

      Parameters:
        `index` - an index (might be greater or equal to `size()`, or smaller than 0)
      Returns:
        the value at the given `index` or the default value

    - #### public T getAt(int index)

      Overwrites subscript operator handling by redirecting to get(int).

      Parameters:
        `index` - an index (might be greater or equal to `size()`, or smaller than 0)
      Returns:
        the value at the given `index` or the default value

    - #### public boolean removeAll(Collection<?> objects)

    - #### public boolean retainAll(Collection<?> objects)

    - #### public T set(int i, T t)

    - #### public int size()

    - #### public List<T> subList(int fromIndex, int toIndex)

      Returns a view of a portion of this list. This method returns a list with the same lazy list settings as the original list.

      Parameters:
        `fromIndex` - low endpoint of the subList (inclusive)
        `toIndex` - upper endpoint of the subList (exclusive)
      Returns:
        a view of a specified range within this list, keeping all lazy list settings
