## Interface BoundedCollection

- All Superinterfaces:
    Collection, Iterable
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    BoundedBuffer, BoundedFifoBuffer, BoundedFifoBuffer, CircularFifoBuffer, FixedSizeList, UnmodifiableBoundedCollection

      public interface BoundedCollection
      extends Collection

  Defines a collection that is bounded in size.

  The size of the collection can vary, but it can never exceed a preset maximum number of elements. This interface allows the querying of details associated with the maximum number of elements.
