/*! \class QList
    \brief The QList class is a template class that provides lists.

    \ingroup tools
    \ingroup shared
    \mainclass
    \reentrant

    QList\<T\> is one of Qt's generic \l{container classes}. It
    stores a list of values and provides fast index-based access as
    well as fast insertions and removals.

    QList\<T\>, QLinkedList\<T\>, and QVector\<T\> provide similar
    functionality. Here's an overview:

    \list
    \i For most purposes, QList is the right class to use. Its
       index-based API is more convenient than QLinkedList's
       iterator-based API, and it is usually faster than
       QVector because of the way it stores its items in
       memory. It also expands to less code in your executable.
    \i If you need a real linked list, with guarantees of \l{constant
       time} insertions in the middle of the list and iterators to
       items rather than indexes, use QLinkedList.
    \i If you want the items to occupy adjacent memory positions,
       use QVector.
    \endlist


    Internally, QList\<T\> is represented as an array of pointers to
    items. (Exceptionally, if T is itself a pointer type or a basic
    type that is no larger than a pointer, or if T is one of Qt's
    \l{shared classes}, then QList\<T\> stores the items directly in
    the pointer array.) For lists under a thousand items, this
    representation allows for very fast insertions in the middle, in
    addition to instantaneous index-based access. Furthermore,
    operations like prepend() and append() are very fast, because
    QList preallocates memory at both ends of its internal array. (See
    \l{Algorithmic Complexity} for details.) Note, however, that for
    unshared list items that are larger than a pointer, each append or
    insert of a new item requires allocating the new item on the heap,
    and this per item allocation might make QVector a better choice in
    cases that do lots of appending or inserting, since QVector
    allocates memory for its items in a single heap allocation.

    Here's an example of a QList that stores integers and
    a QList that stores QDate values:

    \code
        QList<int> integerList;
        QList<QDate> dateList;
    \endcode

    Qt includes a QStringList class that inherits QList\<QString\>
    and adds a few convenience functions, such as QStringList::join()
    and QStringList::find(). (QString::split() creates QStringLists
    from strings.)

    QList stores a list of items. The default constructor creates an
    empty list. To insert items into the list, you can use
    operator<<():

    \code
        QList<QString> list;
        list << "one" << "two" << "three";
        // list: ["one", "two", "three"]
    \endcode

    QList provides these basic functions to add, move, and remove
    items: insert(), replace(), removeAt(), move(), and swap(). In
    addition, it provides the following convenience functions:
    append(), prepend(), removeFirst(), and removeLast().

    QList uses 0-based indexes, just like C++ arrays. To access the
    item at a particular index position, you can use operator[](). On
    non-const lists, operator[]() returns a reference to the item and
    can be used on the left side of an assignment:

    \code
        if (list[0] == "Bob")
            list[0] = "Robert";
    \endcode

    Because QList is implemented as an array of pointers, this
    operation is very fast (\l{constant time}). For read-only access,
    an alternative syntax is to use at():

    \code
        for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); ++i) {
            if (list.at(i) == "Jane")
                cout << "Found Jane at position " << i << endl;
        }
    \endcode

    at() can be faster than operator[](), because it never causes a
    \l{deep copy} to occur.

    A common requirement is to remove an item from a list and do
    something with it. For this, QList provides takeAt(), takeFirst(),
    and takeLast(). Here's a loop that removes the items from a list
    one at a time and calls \c delete on them:

    \code
        QList<QWidget *> list;
        ...
        while (!list.isEmpty())
            delete list.takeFirst();
    \endcode

    Inserting and removing items at either ends of the list is very
    fast (\l{constant time} in most cases), because QList
    preallocates extra space on both sides of its internal buffer to
    allow for fast growth at both ends of the list.

    If you want to find all occurrences of a particular value in a
    list, use indexOf() or lastIndexOf(). The former searches forward
    starting from a given index position, the latter searches
    backward. Both return the index of a matching item if they find
    it; otherwise, they return -1. For example:

    \code
        int i = list.indexOf("Jane");
        if (i != -1)
            cout << "First occurrence of Jane is at position " << i << endl;
    \endcode

    If you simply want to check whether a list contains a particular
    value, use contains(). If you want to find out how many times a
    particular value occurs in the list, use count(). If you want to
    replace all occurrences of a particular value with another, use
    replace().

    QList's value type must be an \l{assignable data type}. This
    covers most data types that are commonly used, but the compiler
    won't let you, for example, store a QWidget as a value; instead,
    store a QWidget *. A few functions have additional requirements;
    for example, indexOf() and lastIndexOf() expect the value type to
    support \c operator==(). These requirements are documented on a
    per-function basis.

    Like the other container classes, QList provides \l{Java-style
    iterators} (QListIterator and QMutableListIterator) and
    \l{STL-style iterators} (QList::const_iterator and
    QList::iterator). In practice, these are rarely used, because
    you can use indexes into the QList. QList is implemented in such
    a way that direct index-based access is just as fast as using
    iterators.

    QList does \e not support inserting, prepending, appending or replacing
    with references to its own values. Doing so will cause your application to
    abort with an error message.

/*! \class QList::iterator
    \brief The QList::iterator class provides an STL-style non-const iterator for QList and QQueue.

    QList features both \l{STL-style iterators} and \l{Java-style
    iterators}. The STL-style iterators are more low-level and more
    cumbersome to use; on the other hand, they are slightly faster
    and, for developers who already know STL, have the advantage of
    familiarity.

    QList\<T\>::iterator allows you to iterate over a QList\<T\> (or
    QQueue\<T\>) and to modify the list item associated with the
    iterator. If you want to iterate over a const QList, use
    QList::const_iterator instead. It is generally good practice to
    use QList::const_iterator on a non-const QList as well, unless
    you need to change the QList through the iterator. Const
    iterators are slightly faster, and can improve code readability.

    The default QList::iterator constructor creates an uninitialized
    iterator. You must initialize it using a QList function like
    QList::begin(), QList::end(), or QList::insert() before you can
    start iterating. Here's a typical loop that prints all the items
    stored in a list:

    \code
        QList<QString> list;
        list.append("January");
        list.append("February");
        ...
        list.append("December");

        QList<QString>::iterator i;
        for (i = list.begin(); i != list.end(); ++i)
            cout << *i << endl;
    \endcode

    Let's see a few examples of things we can do with a
    QList::iterator that we cannot do with a QList::const_iterator.
    Here's an example that increments every value stored in a
    QList\<int\> by 2:

    \code
        QList<int>::iterator i;
        for (i = list.begin(); i != list.end(); ++i)
            *i += 2;
    \endcode

    Most QList functions accept an integer index rather than an
    iterator. For that reason, iterators are rarely useful in
    connection with QList. One place where STL-style iterators do
    make sense is as arguments to \l{generic algorithms}.

    For example, here's how to delete all the widgets stored in a
    QList\<QWidget *\>:

    \code
        QList<QWidget *> list;
        ...
        qDeleteAll(list.begin(), list.end());
    \endcode

    Multiple iterators can be used on the same list. However, be
    aware that any non-const function call performed on the QList
    will render all existing iterators undefined. If you need to keep
    iterators over a long period of time, we recommend that you use
    QLinkedList rather than QList.
