| 28 | +/** | |
| 29 | + * A collection that contains no duplicate elements. More formally, sets | |
| 30 | + * contain no pair of elements <code>e1</code> and <code>e2</code> such that | |
| 31 | + * <code>e1.equals(e2)</code>, and at most one null element. As implied by | |
| 32 | + * its name, this interface models the mathematical <i>set</i> abstraction. | |
| 33 | + * | |
| 34 | + * <p>The <tt>Set</tt> interface places additional stipulations, beyond those | |
| 35 | + * inherited from the <tt>Collection</tt> interface, on the contracts of all | |
| 36 | + * constructors and on the contracts of the <tt>add</tt>, <tt>equals</tt> and | |
| 37 | + * <tt>hashCode</tt> methods. Declarations for other inherited methods are | |
| 38 | + * also included here for convenience. (The specifications accompanying these | |
| 39 | + * declarations have been tailored to the <tt>Set</tt> interface, but they do | |
| 40 | + * not contain any additional stipulations.) | |
| 41 | + * | |
| 42 | + * <p>The additional stipulation on constructors is, not surprisingly, | |
| 43 | + * that all constructors must create a set that contains no duplicate elements | |
| 44 | + * (as defined above). | |
| 45 | + * | |
| 46 | + * <p>Note: Great care must be exercised if mutable objects are used as set | |
| 47 | + * elements. The behavior of a set is not specified if the value of an object | |
| 48 | + * is changed in a manner that affects <tt>equals</tt> comparisons while the | |
| 49 | + * object is an element in the set. A special case of this prohibition is | |
| 50 | + * that it is not permissible for a set to contain itself as an element. | |
| 51 | + * | |
| 52 | + * <p>Some set implementations have restrictions on the elements that | |
| 53 | + * they may contain. For example, some implementations prohibit null elements, | |
| 54 | + * and some have restrictions on the types of their elements. Attempting to | |
| 55 | + * add an ineligible element throws an unchecked exception, typically | |
| 56 | + * <tt>NullPointerException</tt> or <tt>ClassCastException</tt>. Attempting | |
| 57 | + * to query the presence of an ineligible element may throw an exception, | |
| 58 | + * or it may simply return false; some implementations will exhibit the former | |
| 59 | + * behavior and some will exhibit the latter. More generally, attempting an | |
| 60 | + * operation on an ineligible element whose completion would not result in | |
| 61 | + * the insertion of an ineligible element into the set may throw an | |
| 62 | + * exception or it may succeed, at the option of the implementation. | |
| 63 | + * Such exceptions are marked as "optional" in the specification for this | |
| 64 | + * interface. | |
