Indicates whether this collection is empty.

Returns:

true if this collection is empty; returns false otherwise.

iterator

public CharIterator iterator()

Returns an iterator over this collection.

Returns:

an iterator over this collection.

remove

public boolean remove(char v)

Removes a specified element from this collection.

Parameters:

v - the char value to remove from this collection.

Returns:

true if this collection was modified as a result of removing v; returns false otherwise.

Throws:

removeAll

public boolean removeAll(CharCollection c)

trimToSize

public void trimToSize()

Minimizes the memory used by this collection. The exact operation of this method depends on the class implementing it. Implementors may choose to ignore it completely.
