Paul King commented on GROOVY-10964:
------------------------------------
[~blackdrag] I didn't remember the details but "sameType" handles the different
numbers scenario and the TreeSet backed by the NumberAwareComparator is enough
to handle the different numbers:
{code}
def nums = [1, 2, 2f, 2G]
def set = new TreeSet(new NumberAwareComparator())
set.addAll(nums)
assert set.contains(2d) // passes
{code}
> List.minus() slow for Numbers

> Key: GROOVY-10964
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10964
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Question
> Components: groovy-jdk
> Affects Versions: 2.4.0, 3.0.9, 4.0.9
> Reporter: Ingo Wilms
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: Collections, Groovy, List, Number
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h

> In List.minus() is a n*LOG\(n) version for comparable objects. Only for
> numbers, there is a dedicated slower n^2*LOG\(n) version. Is there a reason
> for this? It exists since 2.4.0 and hasn't changed much since then. Here is
> part of the code from version 4.0.9:
>
> {code:java}
> // if (nlgnSort && (head instanceof Comparable)) {
> //n*LOG(n) version
> Set<T> answer;
> if (head instanceof Number) {
> answer = new TreeSet<>(comparator);
> answer.addAll(self1);
> for (T t : self1) {
> if (t instanceof Number) {
> for (Object t2 : removeMe1) {
> if (t2 instanceof Number) {
> if (comparator.compare(t, (T) t2) == 0)
> answer.remove(t);
> }
> }
> } else {
> if (removeMe1.contains(t))
> answer.remove(t);
> }
> }
> } else {
> answer = new TreeSet<>(comparator);
> answer.addAll(self1);
> answer.removeAll(removeMe1);
> }
> for (T o : self1) {
> if (answer.contains(o))
> ansCollection.add(o);
> }
> } else {
> //n*n version {code}
> I fail to see why the whole extra block for numbers beginning with
> {code:java}
> if (head instanceof Number) { {code}
> is necessary.
