getAt

public T getAt(int index)
Overwrites subscript operator handling by redirecting to get(int).

Parameters:
index - an index (might be greater or equal to size(), or smaller than 0)
Returns:
the value at the given index or the default value

get

public T get(int index)
Returns the element at the given index but grows the list if needed. If the requested index is greater than or equal to size(), the list will grow to the new size and a default value calculated using the initClosure will be used to populate the missing value and returned.

If lazyDefaultValues is true any gaps when growing the list are filled with nulls. Subsequent attempts to retrieve items from the list from those gap index values will, upon finding null, call the initClosure to populate the list for the given list value. Hence, when in this mode, nulls cannot be stored in this list. If lazyDefaultValues is false any gaps when growing the list are filled eagerly by calling the initClosure for all gap indexes during list growth. No calls to initClosure are made except during list growth and it is ok to store null values in the list when in this mode.

This implementation breaks the contract of List.get(int) as it a) possibly modifies the underlying list and b) does NOT throw an IndexOutOfBoundsException when index < 0 || index >= size().

Specified by:
get in interface java.util.List<T>
Parameters:
index - an index (might be greater or equal to size(), or smaller than 0)
Returns:
the value at the given index or the default value
