Remarks

Adapter: a random-access range for a slice of an INegListSource{T}.

Template Parameters

T	Item type in the list

Although this slices a neg-list, the slice itself is an ordinary zero-indexed IListSource{T}. It implements INegListSource{T} for completeness, but its Min is 0.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Loyc.Collections.NegListSlice< T >.NegListSlice	(	INegListSource< T >	list,
		int	start,
		int	count
	)

inline

Initializes a slice.

Exceptions

ArgumentException The start index was below zero.

The (start, count) range is allowed to be invalid, as long as 'start' is Min or above and 'count' is zero or above.

If 'start' is above the original Count, the Count of the new slice is set to zero.
if (start + count) is above the original Count, the Count of the new slice is reduced to list.Count - start.

Member Function Documentation

T Loyc.Collections.NegListSlice< T >.PopBack ( out bool fail )

inline

Removes the last item from the range and returns it.

Parameters

fail	Receives the current value of IsEmpty.

Returns: The first item of the range, or default(T) if IsEmpty.

The remarks of IFRange{T}.PopFront apply to this method.

Implements Loyc.Collections.IBRange< out T >.

T Loyc.Collections.NegListSlice< T >.PopFront ( out bool fail )

inline

Removes the first item from the range and returns it.

Parameters

fail	Receives the current value of IIsEmpty.IsEmpty.

Returns: The first item of the range, or default(T) if IsEmpty.

This method is a little unweildy in plain C#, but in EC# it will be a bit more convenient to use via extension methods like PopFirst(ref this Range range, T defaultValue) and PopFirst(ref this Range range), which are illegal in plain C#.

I wanted to give this method the signature "bool PopFirst(out T first)" but the generic parameter "T" is covariant, i.e. it is marked "out T" which, ironically, is not compatible with "out T" parameters, only with return values.

Implements Loyc.Collections.IFRange< out T >.

IRange<T> IListSource<T>. Loyc.Collections.NegListSlice< T >.Slice	(	int	start,
		int	count
	)

inline

Returns a sub-range of this list.

Implements Loyc.Collections.INegListSource< T >.

IRange<T> INegListSource<T>. Loyc.Collections.NegListSlice< T >.Slice	(	int	start,
		int	count
	)

inline

Returns a sub-range of this list.

NegListSlice<T> Loyc.Collections.NegListSlice< T >.Slice	(	int	start,
		int	count
	)

inline

Returns a sub-range of this list.

Implements Loyc.Collections.INegListSource< T >.

T Loyc.Collections.NegListSlice< T >.TryGet	(	int	index,
		out bool	fail
	)

inline

Gets the item at the specified index, and does not throw an exception on failure.

Parameters

index	An index in the range Min to Max.
fail	A flag that is set on failure. To improve performance slightly, this flag is not cleared on success.

Returns: The element at the specified index, or default(T) if the index is not valid.

In my original design, the caller could provide a value to return on failure, but this would not allow T to be marked as "out" in C# 4. For the same reason, we cannot have a ref/out T parameter. Instead, the following extension methods are provided:

bool TryGet(int index, ref T value);

T TryGet(int, T defaultValue);
