Interface MutableIndexedContainer

All Known Subinterfaces:

DecoratedMutableIndexedContainer

public interface MutableIndexedContainer
extends IndexedContainer

A wrapper for an indexed container that allows modification of an element at a given index. Most objects that are indexed are also "mutably indexed", if you will, but some are not. Most notably, you can't change an element at a specified index of a SortedSet because by virtue of adding something new to the set you may be changing the indices of the elements.
