Class Conversions
The following functions allow any collection class to be converted into an
RWBag,
RWSet,
RWOrdered, or a
SortedCollection (that is, an
RWBinaryTree):
RWBag asBag() const;
RWSet asSet() const;
RWOrdered asOrderedCollection() const;
RWBinaryTree asSortedCollection() const
Note that since these functions mimic similar Smalltalk methods, they return a copy of the new collection by value. For large collections, this can be very expensive. Consider using operator+=() instead.
