## Package: dw.util # Class List ## Inheritance Hierarchy - Object - dw.util.Collection - dw.util.List ## Description An ordered collection of objects. The user of a List has precise control over where in the list each element is inserted. The user can access elements by their integer index (position in the list), and search for elements in the list. Lists are zero based similar to arrays. Unlike sets, lists allow duplicate elements. ## Properties ## Constructor Summary ## Method Summary ### addAt **Signature:** `addAt(index : Number, value : Object) : void` Adds the specified object into the list at the specified index. ### concat **Signature:** `concat(values : Object...) : List` Creates and returns a new List that is the result of concatenating this list with each of the specified values. ### fill **Signature:** `fill(obj : Object) : void` Replaces all of the elements in the list with the given object. ### get **Signature:** `get(index : Number) : Object` Returns the object at the specified index. ### indexOf **Signature:** `indexOf(value : Object) : Number` Returns the index of the first occurrence of the specified element in this list, or -1 if this list does not contain the element. ### join **Signature:** `join() : String` Converts all elements of the list to a string by calling the toString() method and then concatenates them together, with a comma between elements. ### join **Signature:** `join(separator : String) : String` Converts all elements of the list to a string by calling the toString() method and then concatenates them together, with the separator string between elements. ### lastIndexOf **Signature:** `lastIndexOf(value : Object) : Number` Returns the index of the last occurrence of the specified element in this list, or -1 if this list does not contain the element. ### pop **Signature:** `pop() : Object` Removes and returns the last element from the list. ### push **Signature:** `push(values : Object...) : Number` Appends the specified values to the end of the list in order. ### removeAt **Signature:** `removeAt(index : Number) : Object` Removes the object at the specified index. ### replaceAll **Signature:** `replaceAll(oldValue : Object, newValue : Object) : boolean` Replaces all occurrences of oldValue with newValue. ### reverse **Signature:** `reverse() : void` Reverses the order of the elements in the list. ### rotate **Signature:** `rotate(distance : Number) : void` Rotates the elements in the list by the specified distance. ### set **Signature:** `set(index : Number, value : Object) : Object` Replaces the object at the specified index in this list with the specified object. ### shift **Signature:** `shift() : Object` Removes and returns the first element of the list. ### shuffle **Signature:** `shuffle() : void` Randomly permutes the elements in the list. ### size **Signature:** `size() : Number` Returns the size of this list. ### slice **Signature:** `slice(from : Number) : List` Returns a slice, or sublist, of this list. ### slice **Signature:** `slice(from : Number, to : Number) : List` Returns a slice, or sublist, of this list. ### sort **Signature:** `sort() : void` Sorts the elements of the list based on their natural order. ### sort **Signature:** `sort(comparator : Object) : void` Sorts the elements of a list. ### subList **Signature:** `subList(from : Number, to : Number) : List` Returns a list containing the elements in this list identified by the specified arguments. ### swap **Signature:** `swap(i : Number, j : Number) : void` Swaps the elements at the specified positions in the list. ### unshift **Signature:** `unshift(values : Object...) : Number` Inserts values at the beginning of the list. ## Method Detail ## Method Details ### addAt **Signature:** `addAt(index : Number, value : Object) : void` **Description:** Adds the specified object into the list at the specified index. **Parameters:** - `index`: the index to use. - `value`: the object to insert. --- ### concat **Signature:** `concat(values : Object...) : List` **Description:** Creates and returns a new List that is the result of concatenating this list with each of the specified values.

This sort is guaranteed to be stable: equal elements will not be reordered as a result of the sort. --- ### sort **Signature:** `sort(comparator : Object) : void` **Description:** Sorts the elements of a list. The order of the elements is determined with a comparator (see PropertyComparator) or with the help of the given function. The function must take two parameters and return a value <0 if the first parameter is smaller than the second, a value of 0 if both are equal and a value if >0 if the first one is greater than the second parameter.
