InsertRangeWithBeginEnd(Int32, Int32)

Shifts pointers toward the end of this list, increasing its length.

Declaration

public void InsertRangeWithBeginEnd(int begin, int end)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Int32	begin	The index of the first pointer that will be shifted up.
Int32	end	The index where the first shifted pointer will end up.

Remarks

Right-shifts pointers in the list so as to create 'free' slots at the beginning or in the middle.

The length is increased by end - begin. If necessary, the capacity will be increased accordingly.

If end equals begin, the method does nothing.

The pointer at index begin will be copied to index end, the pointer at index begin + 1 will be copied to end + 1, and so forth.

The indexes begin up to end are not cleared: they will contain whatever pointers they held prior.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
ArgumentException	Thrown if end < begin.
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	Thrown if begin or end are out of bounds.

RemoveAt(Int32)

Removes the pointer at an index, shifting everything above it down by one. Decrements the length by 1.

Declaration

public void RemoveAt(int index)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Int32	index	The index of the pointer to remove.

Remarks

If you don't care about preserving the order of the pointers, RemoveAtSwapBack(Int32) is a more efficient way to remove pointers.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	Thrown if index is out of bounds.

RemoveAtSwapBack(Int32)

Copies the last pointer of this list to the specified index. Decrements the length by 1.

Declaration

public void RemoveAtSwapBack(int index)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Int32	index	The index to overwrite with the last pointer.

Remarks

Useful as a cheap way to remove a pointer from this list when you don't care about preserving order.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
IndexOutOfRangeException	Thrown if index is out of bounds.

RemoveRange(Int32, Int32)

Removes N pointers in a range, shifting everything above the range down by N. Decrements the length by N.

Declaration

public void RemoveRange(int index, int count)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Int32	index	The index of the first pointer to remove.
Int32	count	The number of pointers to remove.

Remarks

If you don't care about preserving the order of the pointers, RemoveRangeSwapBackWithBeginEnd is a more efficient way to remove pointers.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	Thrown if index is out of bounds, count is negative, or index + count exceeds the length.

RemoveRangeSwapBack(Int32, Int32)

Copies the last N pointer of this list to a range in this list. Decrements the length by N.
