public class CharArrayList
extends java.lang.Object
implements CharIndexedContainer, java.lang.Cloneable
```
An array-backed list of chars. A single array is used to store and manipulate all elements. Reallocations are governed by a ArraySizingStrategy and may be expensive if they move around really large chunks of memory.
See ObjectArrayList class for API similarities and differences against Java Collections.

    add in interface CharIndexedContainer
  - add
```
public void add(char e1,

Use: CharCollection.removeAll(com.carrotsearch.hppc.CharLookupContainer), CharIndexedContainer.removeFirstOccurrence(char) or CharIndexedContainer.removeLastOccurrence(char) depending on the actual need.
    
    Specified by:
    
    remove in interface CharIndexedContainer

  - ensureBufferSpace
```
protected void ensureBufferSpace(int expectedAdditions)
```
    Ensures the internal buffer has enough free slots to store expectedAdditions. Increases internal buffer size if needed.
  - resize
```
public void resize(int newSize)
```
    Truncate or expand the list to the new size. If the list is truncated, the buffer will not be reallocated (use trimToSize() if you need a truncated buffer), but the truncated values will be reset to the default value (zero). If the list is expanded, the elements beyond the current size are initialized with JVM-defaults (zero or null values).
  - size
```
public int size()
```
    Return the current number of elements in this container. The time for calculating the container's size may take O(n) time, although implementing classes should try to maintain the current size and return in constant time.
    
    Specified by:
    
    size in interface CharContainer
  - trimToSize
```
public void trimToSize()
```
    Trim the internal buffer to the current size.
  - clear
```
public void clear()
```
    Sets the number of stored elements to zero. Releases and initializes the internal storage array to default values. To clear the list without cleaning the buffer, simply set the elementsCount field to zero.
    
    Specified by:
    
    clear in interface CharCollection
  - release
```
public void release()
```
    Sets the number of stored elements to zero and releases the internal storage array.
  - toArray
```
public char[] toArray()
```
    Default implementation of copying to an array.
    The returned array is sized to match exactly the number of elements of the stack.
    
    Specified by:
    
    toArray in interface CharContainer
  - clone
```
public CharArrayList clone()
```
    Clone this object. The returned clone will reuse the same hash function and array resizing strategy.
    
    Overrides:
    
    clone in class java.lang.Object
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in interface CharIndexedContainer
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
    A hash code of elements stored in the container. The hash code is defined identically to List.hashCode() (should be implemented with the same algorithm).
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)
```
    Compares the specified object with this container for equality. Returns true if and only if the specified object is also a CharIndexedContainer, both have the same size, and all corresponding pairs of elements at the same index are equal. In other words, two indexed containers are defined to be equal if they contain the same elements in the same order.
    Note that, unlike in List, containers may be of different types and still return true from CharIndexedContainer.equals(java.lang.Object). This may be dangerous if you use different hash functions in two containers, but don't override the default implementation of CharIndexedContainer.equals(java.lang.Object). It is the programmer's responsibility to enforcing these contracts properly.
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface CharIndexedContainer
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class java.lang.Object
  - iterator
```
public java.util.Iterator<CharCursor> iterator()
```
    Returns an iterator to a cursor traversing the collection. The order of traversal is not defined. More than one cursor may be active at a time. The behavior of iterators is undefined if structural changes are made to the underlying collection.
    The iterator is implemented as a cursor and it returns the same cursor instance on every call to Iterator.next() (to avoid boxing of primitive types). To read the current list's value (or index in the list) use the cursor's public fields. An example is shown below.
```
 for (CharCursor<char> c : container) {
   System.out.println("index=" + c.index + " value=" + c.value);
 }
 
```
    Specified by:
    
    iterator in interface CharContainer
    
    Specified by:
    
    iterator in interface java.lang.Iterable<CharCursor>
  - forEach
```
public <T extends CharProcedure> T forEach(T procedure)
```
    Applies a procedure to all container elements. Returns the argument (any subclass of CharProcedure. This lets the caller to call methods of the argument by chaining the call (even if the argument is an anonymous type) to retrieve computed values, for example (IntContainer):
```
 int count = container.forEach(new IntProcedure() {
      int count; // this is a field declaration in an anonymous class.
      public void apply(int value) { count++; }}).count;
 
```
    Specified by:
    
    forEach in interface CharContainer
  - forEach
```
public <T extends CharProcedure> T forEach(T procedure,
                                  int fromIndex,
                                  int toIndex)
```
    Applies procedure to a slice of the list, fromIndex, inclusive, to toIndex, exclusive.
  - removeAll
```
public int removeAll(CharPredicate predicate)
```
    Removes all elements in this collection for which the given predicate returns true.
    
    Specified by:
    
    removeAll in interface CharCollection
  - forEach
```
public <T extends CharPredicate> T forEach(T predicate)
```

    Specified by:
    
    forEach in interface CharContainer
  - forEach
```
public <T extends CharPredicate> T forEach(T predicate,

                                  int toIndex)
```
    Applies predicate to a slice of the list, fromIndex, inclusive, to toIndex, exclusive, or until predicate returns false.
