An instance of Bag is a collection which stores non-ordered elements. You can store duplicate elements in bags. Bags provide a more space efficient mechanism than arrays by taking account of objects with the same value. Bags are recommended when you expect to store many duplicate elements.
Elements can be objects or COBOL intrinsic data. Use the "ofReferences" method to create an instance for storing objects, and the "ofValues" method to create an instance for storing COBOL intrinsic data.
See method ofValues.
See method ofReferences.
