Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
<C extends Comparable<C>> ExtendedIterable<E>	toOrdered(Function<E,C> comparableMapper)	The time complexity of this method is O(n*log(n)) if the current IterableOrderProvider contains n elements.

Method Details

toOrdered

<C extends Comparable<C>> ExtendedIterable<E> toOrdered(Function<E,C> comparableMapper)

The time complexity of this method is O(n*log(n)) if the current IterableOrderProvider contains n elements.

Type Parameters:

C - the type of the Comparables the given comparableMapper returns

Parameters:

comparableMapper -

Returns:

a new ExtendedIterable with the elements of the current IterableOrderProvider ordered from the smallest to the biggest element according to the Comparables the given comparableMapper maps from the elements of the current IterableOrderProvider

Throws:

RuntimeException - if the given comparableMapper is null

RuntimeException - if one of the elements of the current IterableOrderProvider is null

toReversed

ExtendedIterable<E> toReversed()

The time complexity of this method is O(n) if the current IterableOrderProvider contains n elements.

Returns:

a new ExtendedIterable with the elements of the current IterableOrderProvider in reversed order
