  - ### Method Summary

    All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `Iterator<Object>` | `endingIterator()` | If `Selector.isNeverEnding()` is true, then `Iterable.iterator()` will never end.
    `EntityDescriptor<Solution_>` | `getEntityDescriptor()` |
    `long` | `getSize()` | A random JIT `Selector` with `Selector.isNeverEnding()` true should return a size as if it would be able to return each distinct element only once, because the size can be used in `SelectionProbabilityWeightFactory`.
    `boolean` | `isCountable()` | If false, then `Selector.isNeverEnding()` is true.
    `boolean` | `isNeverEnding()` | Is true if `Selector.isCountable()` is false or if this selector is in random order (for most cases).
    `Iterator<Object>` | `iterator()` |
    `ListIterator<Object>` | `listIterator()` |
    `ListIterator<Object>` | `listIterator​(int index)` |

- - ### Field Detail

    - #### childEntitySelector

          protected final EntitySelector<Solution_> childEntitySelector

    - #### randomSelection

          protected final boolean randomSelection

    - #### selectedCountLimit

          protected final long selectedCountLimit

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### SelectedCountLimitEntitySelector

          public SelectedCountLimitEntitySelector​(EntitySelector<Solution_> childEntitySelector,
                                                  boolean randomSelection,
                                                  long selectedCountLimit)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getEntityDescriptor

          public EntityDescriptor<Solution_> getEntityDescriptor()

      Returns:
        never null

    - #### isCountable

          public boolean isCountable()

      Description copied from interface: `Selector`
      If false, then `Selector.isNeverEnding()` is true.
      Returns:
        true if all the `ValueRange`s are countable (for example a double value range between 1.2 and 1.4 is not countable)

    - #### isNeverEnding

          public boolean isNeverEnding()

      Description copied from interface: `Selector`
      Is true if `Selector.isCountable()` is false or if this selector is in random order (for most cases). Is never true when this selector is in shuffled order (which is less scalable but more exact).
      Returns:
        true if the `Iterator.hasNext()` of the `Iterator` created by `Iterable.iterator()` never returns false (except when it's empty).

    - #### getSize

          public long getSize()

      Description copied from interface: `IterableSelector`
      A random JIT `Selector` with `Selector.isNeverEnding()` true should return a size as if it would be able to return each distinct element only once, because the size can be used in `SelectionProbabilityWeightFactory`.
      Returns:
        the approximate number of elements generated by this `Selector`, always `>= 0`

    - #### iterator

          public Iterator<Object> iterator()

    - #### listIterator

          public ListIterator<Object> listIterator()

      Returns:
        never null, see `List.listIterator()`.
      See Also:
        `List.listIterator()`

    - #### listIterator

          public ListIterator<Object> listIterator​(int index)

      Parameters:
        `index` - lower than the size of this `ListIterable`, see `List.listIterator(int)`.
      Returns:
        never null, see `List.listIterator(int)`.
      See Also:
        `List.listIterator()`

    - #### endingIterator

          public Iterator<Object> endingIterator()

      Description copied from interface: `EntitySelector`
      If `Selector.isNeverEnding()` is true, then `Iterable.iterator()` will never end. This returns an ending `Iterator`, that tries to match `Iterable.iterator()` as much as possible, but returns each distinct element only once and returns every element that might possibly be selected and therefore it might not respect the configuration of this `EntitySelector` entirely.
      Returns:
        never null
      See Also:
        `Iterable.iterator()`

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
