30/**
31 * An ordered collection (also known as a <i>sequence</i>).  The user of this
32 * interface has precise control over where in the list each element is
33 * inserted.  The user can access elements by their integer index (position in
34 * the list), and search for elements in the list.<p>
35 *
36 * Unlike sets, lists typically allow duplicate elements.  More formally,
37 * lists typically allow pairs of elements {@code e1} and {@code e2}
38 * such that {@code e1.equals(e2)}, and they typically allow multiple
39 * null elements if they allow null elements at all.  It is not inconceivable
40 * that someone might wish to implement a list that prohibits duplicates, by
41 * throwing runtime exceptions when the user attempts to insert them, but we
42 * expect this usage to be rare.<p>
43 *
44 * The {@code List} interface places additional stipulations, beyond those
45 * specified in the {@code Collection} interface, on the contracts of the
46 * {@code iterator}, {@code add}, {@code remove}, {@code equals}, and
47 * {@code hashCode} methods.  Declarations for other inherited methods are
48 * also included here for convenience.<p>
49 *
50 * The {@code List} interface provides four methods for positional (indexed)
51 * access to list elements.  Lists (like Java arrays) are zero based.  Note
52 * that these operations may execute in time proportional to the index value
53 * for some implementations (the {@code LinkedList} class, for
54 * example). Thus, iterating over the elements in a list is typically
55 * preferable to indexing through it if the caller does not know the
56 * implementation.<p>
57 *
58 * The {@code List} interface provides a special iterator, called a
59 * {@code ListIterator}, that allows element insertion and replacement, and
60 * bidirectional access in addition to the normal operations that the
61 * {@code Iterator} interface provides.  A method is provided to obtain a
62 * list iterator that starts at a specified position in the list.<p>
63 *
64 * The {@code List} interface provides two methods to search for a specified
65 * object.  From a performance standpoint, these methods should be used with
66 * caution.  In many implementations they will perform costly linear
67 * searches.<p>
68 *
69 * The {@code List} interface provides two methods to efficiently insert and
70 * remove multiple elements at an arbitrary point in the list.<p>
71 *
72 * Note: While it is permissible for lists to contain themselves as elements,
73 * extreme caution is advised: the {@code equals} and {@code hashCode}
74 * methods are no longer well defined on such a list.
75 *
76 * <p>Some list implementations have restrictions on the elements that
77 * they may contain.  For example, some implementations prohibit null elements,
78 * and some have restrictions on the types of their elements.  Attempting to
79 * add an ineligible element throws an unchecked exception, typically
80 * {@code NullPointerException} or {@code ClassCastException}.  Attempting
81 * to query the presence of an ineligible element may throw an exception,
82 * or it may simply return false; some implementations will exhibit the former
83 * behavior and some will exhibit the latter.  More generally, attempting an
84 * operation on an ineligible element whose completion would not result in
85 * the insertion of an ineligible element into the list may throw an
86 * exception or it may succeed, at the option of the implementation.
87 * Such exceptions are marked as "optional" in the specification for this
88 * interface.
89 *
90 * <h2><a id="immutable">Immutable List Static Factory Methods</a></h2>
91 * <p>The {@link List#of(Object...) List.of()} static factory methods
92 * provide a convenient way to create immutable lists. The {@code List}
93 * instances created by these methods have the following characteristics:
94 *
95 * <ul>
96 * <li>They are <em>structurally immutable</em>. Elements cannot be added, removed,
97 * or replaced. Calling any mutator method will always cause
98 * {@code UnsupportedOperationException} to be thrown.
99 * However, if the contained elements are themselves mutable,
100 * this may cause the List's contents to appear to change.
101 * <li>They disallow {@code null} elements. Attempts to create them with
102 * {@code null} elements result in {@code NullPointerException}.
103 * <li>They are serializable if all elements are serializable.
104 * <li>The order of elements in the list is the same as the order of the
105 * provided arguments, or of the elements in the provided array.
106 * <li>They are <a href="../lang/doc-files/ValueBased.html">value-based</a>.
107 * Callers should make no assumptions about the identity of the returned instances.
108 * Factories are free to create new instances or reuse existing ones. Therefore,
109 * identity-sensitive operations on these instances (reference equality ({@code ==}),
110 * identity hash code, and synchronization) are unreliable and should be avoided.
111 * <li>They are serialized as specified on the
112 * <a href="{@docRoot}/serialized-form.html#java.util.CollSer">Serialized Form</a>
113 * page.
114 * </ul>

451     *
452     * <p>If the specified comparator is {@code null} then all elements in this

454     * {@linkplain Comparable natural ordering} should be used.
455     *
456     * <p>This list must be modifiable, but need not be resizable.
457     *
458     * @implSpec
459     * The default implementation obtains an array containing all elements in
460     * this list, sorts the array, and iterates over this list resetting each
461     * element from the corresponding position in the array. (This avoids the
462     * n<sup>2</sup> log(n) performance that would result from attempting
463     * to sort a linked list in place.)
464     *
465     * @implNote
466     * This implementation is a stable, adaptive, iterative mergesort that
467     * requires far fewer than n lg(n) comparisons when the input array is
468     * partially sorted, while offering the performance of a traditional
469     * mergesort when the input array is randomly ordered.  If the input array
470     * is nearly sorted, the implementation requires approximately n
471     * comparisons.  Temporary storage requirements vary from a small constant
472     * for nearly sorted input arrays to n/2 object references for randomly
473     * ordered input arrays.
474     *
475     * <p>The implementation takes equal advantage of ascending and
476     * descending order in its input array, and can take advantage of
477     * ascending and descending order in different parts of the same
478     * input array.  It is well-suited to merging two or more sorted arrays:
479     * simply concatenate the arrays and sort the resulting array.
480     *
481     * <p>The implementation was adapted from Tim Peters's list sort for Python
482     * (<a href="http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Objects/listsort.txt">
483     * TimSort</a>).  It uses techniques from Peter McIlroy's "Optimistic
484     * Sorting and Information Theoretic Complexity", in Proceedings of the
