E - the type of elements in this listIterable<E>, Collection<E>, List<E>, SequencedCollection<E>
LinkedListpublic abstract class AbstractSequentialList<E> extends AbstractList<E>
List interface to minimize the effort required to implement this interface backed by a "sequential access" data store (such as a linked list). For random access data (such as an array), AbstractList should be used in preference to this class. This class is the opposite of the AbstractList class in the sense that it implements the "random access" methods (get(int index), set(int index, E element), add(int index, E element) and remove(int index)) on top of the list's list iterator, instead of the other way around.
 To implement a list the programmer needs only to extend this class and provide implementations for the listIterator and size methods. For an unmodifiable list, the programmer need only implement the list iterator's hasNext, next, hasPrevious, previous and index methods.
 For a modifiable list the programmer should additionally implement the list iterator's set method. For a variable-size list the programmer should additionally implement the list iterator's remove and add methods.
 The programmer should generally provide a void (no argument) and collection constructor, as per the recommendation in the Collection interface specification.
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

public E get(int index)
This implementation first gets a list iterator pointing to the indexed element (with listIterator(index)). Then, it gets the element using ListIterator.next and returns it.
get in interface List<E>
get in class AbstractList<E>
index - index of the element to returnIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index >= size())public E set(int index, E element)
This implementation first gets a list iterator pointing to the indexed element (with listIterator(index)). Then, it gets the current element using ListIterator.next and replaces it with ListIterator.set. 
Note that this implementation will throw an UnsupportedOperationException if the list iterator does not implement the set operation.
set in interface List<E>
set in class AbstractList<E>
index - index of the element to replaceelement - element to be stored at the specified positionUnsupportedOperationException - if the set operation is not supported by this listClassCastException - if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this listNullPointerException - if the specified element is null and this list does not permit null elementsIllegalArgumentException - if some property of the specified element prevents it from being added to this listIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index >= size())public void add(int index, E element)
This implementation first gets a list iterator pointing to the indexed element (with listIterator(index)). Then, it inserts the specified element with ListIterator.add. 
Note that this implementation will throw an UnsupportedOperationException if the list iterator does not implement the add operation.
add in interface List<E>

index - index at which the specified element is to be insertedelement - element to be insertedUnsupportedOperationException - if the add operation is not supported by this listClassCastException - if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this listNullPointerException - if the specified element is null and this list does not permit null elementsIllegalArgumentException - if some property of the specified element prevents it from being added to this listIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index > size())public E remove(int index)
This implementation first gets a list iterator pointing to the indexed element (with listIterator(index)). Then, it removes the element with ListIterator.remove. 
Note that this implementation will throw an UnsupportedOperationException if the list iterator does not implement the remove operation.
remove in interface List<E>

index - the index of the element to be removedUnsupportedOperationException - if the remove operation is not supported by this listIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index >= size())public boolean addAll(int index, Collection<? extends E> c)
This implementation gets an iterator over the specified collection and a list iterator over this list pointing to the indexed element (with listIterator(index)). Then, it iterates over the specified collection, inserting the elements obtained from the iterator into this list, one at a time, using ListIterator.add followed by ListIterator.next (to skip over the added element). 
Note that this implementation will throw an UnsupportedOperationException if the list iterator returned by the listIterator method does not implement the add operation.

This implementation merely returns a list iterator over the list.
