16.15 Abstract Implementations
The collections framework provides various abstract implementations of Collection
interfaces from which you can quickly “flesh out” complete customized implementations. These abstract implementations include a thin Collection
implementation called an AbstractCollection, a List
implementation that allows array-like access to its elements called an AbstractList, a Map
implementation called an AbstractMap, a List
implementation that allows sequential access (from beginning to end) to its elements called an AbstractSequentialList, a Set
implementation called an AbstractSet and a Queue
implementation called AbstractQueue. You can learn more about these classes at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/package-summary.html ...
