ListSet<T> class

A ListSet is, at the same time:

  1. A mutable, fixed-sized, ordered, Set.
  2. A mutable, fixed-sized, List, in which values can't repeat.

When viewed as a Set and compared to a LinkedHashSet, a ListSet is also ordered and has a similar performance. But a ListSet takes less memory and can be sorted, just like a list. Also, you can directly get its items by index. The disadvantage, of course, is that ListSet has a fixed size, while a LinkedHashSet does not.

The ListSet is efficient both as a List and as a Set. So, for example, it has an efficient sort method, while a LinkedHashSet would force you to turn it into a List, then sort it, than turn it back into a Set.

Static Methods

unsafeView<T>(Set<T> set) ListSet<T>
