AbstractCollection Class

• Collection is a hefty interface
• Convenient for clients, inconvenientfor implementors
  
• Many methods can be implemented from others (Template method!)
• Example: toArray
  

public Object[] toArray()
{
Object[] result = new Object[size()];
Iterator e = iterator();
for (int i=0; e.hasNext(); i++)

result[i] = e.next();
return result;
}
