AbstractLinkedList (Apache Commons Collections 4.4 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.commons.collections4.list.AbstractLinkedList<E>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, List<E>

Direct Known Subclasses:

CursorableLinkedList, NodeCachingLinkedList
```
public abstract class AbstractLinkedList<E>
extends Object
implements List<E>
```
An abstract implementation of a linked list which provides numerous points for subclasses to override.
Overridable methods are provided to change the storage node and to change how nodes are added to and removed. Hopefully, all you need for unusual subclasses is here.

- Constructor Detail
  - AbstractLinkedList
```
protected AbstractLinkedList()
```
    Constructor that does nothing intended for deserialization.
    If this constructor is used by a serializable subclass then the init() method must be called.
  - AbstractLinkedList
```
protected AbstractLinkedList(Collection<? extends E> coll)
```
    Constructs a list copying data from the specified collection.
    
    Parameters:
    
    coll - the collection to copy
- Method Detail
  - init
```
protected void init()
```
    The equivalent of a default constructor, broken out so it can be called by any constructor and by readObject. Subclasses which override this method should make sure they call super, so the list is initialised properly.

```
public boolean removeAll(Collection<?> coll)
```
    This implementation iterates over the elements of this list, checking each element in turn to see if it's contained in coll. If it's contained, it's removed from this list. As a consequence, it is advised to use a collection type for coll that provides a fast (e.g. O(1)) implementation of Collection.contains(Object).
