Class StringArrayBase

java.lang.Object
org.snpsift.annotate.mem.arrays.StringArrayBase
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Iterable<String>
Direct Known Subclasses:
EnumArray, StringArray
public abstract class StringArrayBase extends Object implements Iterable<String>, Serializable
Abstract base class for a string array that supports iteration and serialization. This class provides a framework for managing a collection of strings with methods to add, get, and set elements. The class maintains an internal index to keep track of the current position in the array. It also provides an iterator to traverse the elements in the array. Limitations: - The class is abstract and requires concrete implementations to define the storage mechanism for the strings. - The 'add' and 'set' methods are not intended to be used together; typically, you should use one or the other. - The size of the array is managed by the implementing class, and the memory size calculation is approximate.
