List中的subList方法

java.util.List中有一個subList方法，用來返回一個list的一部分的視圖。

List<E> subList(int fromIndex, int toIndex);

下標從0開始，含頭不含尾。

它返回原來list的從[fromIndex, toIndex)之間這一部分的視圖，之所以說是視圖，是因為實際上，返回的list是靠原來的list支持的。

所以，你對原來的list和返回的list做的“非結構性修改”(non-structural changes)，都會影響到彼此對方。

所謂的“非結構性修改”，是指不涉及到list的大小改變的修改。相反，結構性修改，指改變了list大小的修改。

 

那么，如果涉及到結構性修改會怎么樣呢？

如果發生結構性修改的是返回的子list，那么原來的list的大小也會發生變化；

而如果發生結構性修改的是原來的list（不包括由於返回的子list導致的改變），那么返回的子list語義上將會是undefined。在AbstractList（ArrayList的父類）中，undefined的具體表現形式是拋出一個ConcurrentModificationException。

因此，如果你在調用了sublist返回了子list之后，如果修改了原list的大小，那么之前產生的子list將會失效，變得不可使用。

tips: 如何刪除一個list的某個區段，比如刪除list的第2-5個元素？

方法是: 可以利用sublist的幕后還是原來的list的這個特性，比如

list.subList(from, to).clear();//這樣就可以了

另外：ArrayList的subList結果不可強轉成ArrayList，否則會拋出ClassCastException 異常，subList 返回的是 ArrayList 的內部類 SubList，並不是 ArrayList 。

如果想防止原list被改變可以這樣操作：

List<Integer> sub = new ArrayList<Integer>(test.subList(1, 3));//這樣可以防止原列表被改變

接下來看看源代碼：

public List<E> subList(int fromIndex, int toIndex) {
        subListRangeCheck(fromIndex, toIndex, size);
        return new SubList(this, 0, fromIndex, toIndex);
    }

ArrayList類的內部類 SubList
