import java.util.function.UnaryOperator;
/**
* An ordered collection (also known as a <i>sequence). The user of this
* interface has precise control over where in the list each element is
* inserted. The user can access elements by their integer index (position in
* the list), and search for elements in the list.<p>
*
* Unlike sets, lists typically allow duplicate elements. More formally,
* lists typically allow pairs of elements <tt>e1 and e2
* such that <tt>e1.equals(e2), and they typically allow multiple
* null elements if they allow null elements at all. It is not inconceivable
* that someone might wish to implement a list that prohibits duplicates, by
* throwing runtime exceptions when the user attempts to insert them, but we
* expect this usage to be rare.<p>
*
* The <tt>List interface places additional stipulations, beyond those
* specified in the <tt>Collection interface, on the contracts of the
* <tt>iterator, add, remove, equals, and
* <tt>hashCode methods. Declarations for other inherited methods are
* also included here for convenience.<p>
*
* The <tt>List interface provides four methods for positional (indexed)
* access to list elements. Lists (like Java arrays) are zero based. Note
* that these operations may execute in time proportional to the index value
* for some implementations (the <tt>LinkedList class, for
* example). Thus, iterating over the elements in a list is typically
* preferable to indexing through it if the caller does not know the
* implementation.<p>
*
* The <tt>List interface provides a special iterator, called a
* <tt>ListIterator, that allows element insertion and replacement, and
* bidirectional access in addition to the normal operations that the
* <tt>Iterator interface provides. A method is provided to obtain a
* list iterator that starts at a specified position in the list.<p>
*
* The <tt>List interface provides two methods to search for a specified
* object. From a performance standpoint, these methods should be used with
* caution. In many implementations they will perform costly linear
* searches.<p>
*
* The <tt>List interface provides two methods to efficiently insert and
* remove multiple elements at an arbitrary point in the list.<p>
*
* Note: While it is permissible for lists to contain themselves as elements,
* extreme caution is advised: the <tt>equals and hashCode
* methods are no longer well defined on such a list.
*
* <p>Some list implementations have restrictions on the elements that
* they may contain. For example, some implementations prohibit null elements,
* and some have restrictions on the types of their elements. Attempting to
* add an ineligible element throws an unchecked exception, typically
* <tt>NullPointerException or ClassCastException. Attempting
* to query the presence of an ineligible element may throw an exception,
* or it may simply return false; some implementations will exhibit the former
* behavior and some will exhibit the latter. More generally, attempting an
* operation on an ineligible element whose completion would not result in
* the insertion of an ineligible element into the list may throw an
* exception or it may succeed, at the option of the implementation.
* Such exceptions are marked as "optional" in the specification for this
* interface.
