All Implemented Interfaces:

public class WaitingActionList

extends java.util.LinkedList

Linked list implementation of the List interface containing String actions and accompanying Object elements. Implements all optional list operations, but only permits a String with Object insertion. In addition to implementing the List interface, the WaitingActionList class extends the uniformly named methods within LinkedList to get, remove and insert an element at the beginning and end of the list. These operations allow this list to be used as a stack, queue, or double-ended queue (deque).

The primary purpose of the class is for the development of nextAction, which calls the waitingAction method for the headelement passed and the next action and accompanying Object element.

Constructor Detail

WaitingActionList

public WaitingActionList()

Constructs an empty list.

WaitingActionList

public WaitingActionList(java.util.Collection actions,
                         java.util.Collection elements)

Constructs a list containing the elements of the specified collection, in the order they are returned by the collection's iterator.

Parameters:

actions - the collection whose string actions are to be placed into this list as the String Actions.

elements - the collection whose elements are to be places into the list as the Object elements.

Method Detail

add

public boolean add(java.lang.String action,
                   java.lang.Object element)

Appends the given String and Object at the end of this list.

Parameters:

action - the String representing an action, to be inserted at the beginning of this list.

element - the Object to be inserted in reference to the action.

Returns:

true (as per the general contract of Collection.add).

add

public void add(int index,
                java.lang.String action,
                java.lang.Object element)
         throws java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException

Inserts the specified String and Object at the specified position in this list. Shifts the String and Object currently at that position (if any) and any subsequent elements to the right (adds one to their indices).

Parameters:

index - the integer index representing the location to add the action and element.

action - the String representing an action, to be inserted at the beginning of this list.

element - the Object to be inserted in reference to the action.

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the specified index is out of range (index < 0 || index > size()).

addFirst

public void addFirst(java.lang.String action,
                     java.lang.Object element)

Inserts the given String and Object at the beggining of this list.

Parameters:

action - the String representing an action, to be inserted at the beginning of this list.

element - the Object to be inserted in reference to the action.

addLast

public void addLast(java.lang.String action,
                    java.lang.Object element)

Appends the given String and Object at the end of this list.

Parameters:

action - the String representing an action, to be inserted at the end of this list.

element - the Object to be inserted in reference to the action.

getFirstAction

public java.lang.String getFirstAction()

Gets the given String of the action at the beggining of this list.

Returns:

action the String representing the first action.

nextAction

public void nextAction(TreeHead headTree)

Calls the next action of the ObjectHead headelement, using the waitingAction command. The call to waitingAction always passes the element, even if the element is unnecssary to that operations.

Parameters:

headTree - the TreeHead element of the Tree to which the action occurs.
