Overview
An AnyBidirectionalCollection instance forwards its operations to a base collection having the same Element type, hiding the specifics of the underlying collection.
Returns the difference needed to produce this collection’s ordered elements from the given collection, using the given predicate as an equivalence test.
Returns a Boolean value indicating whether this sequence and another sequence contain equivalent elements in the same order, using the given predicate as the equivalence test.
Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the sequence precedes another sequence in a lexicographical (dictionary) ordering, using the less-than operator (<) to compare elements.
Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the sequence precedes another sequence in a lexicographical (dictionary) ordering, using the given predicate to compare elements.
Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the initial elements of the sequence are equivalent to the elements in another sequence, using the given predicate as the equivalence test.
Call body(p), where p is a pointer to the collection’s contiguous storage. If no such storage exists, it is first created. If the collection does not support an internal representation in a form of contiguous storage, body is not called and nil is returned.
