```
public class ListOfDeletions
extends ListOf
```
comp A list of Deletion objects.
The ListOfDeletions is a container for the &ldquocomp&rdquo Submodel that defines elements to be removed before instantiation.

The various ListOf___ classes in SBML are merely containers used for organizing the main components of an SBML model. In libSBML's implementation, ListOf___ classes are derived from the intermediate utility class ListOf, which is not defined by the SBML specifications but serves as a useful programmatic construct. ListOf is itself is in turn derived from SBase, which provides all of the various ListOf___ classes with common features defined by the SBML specification, such as 'metaid' attributes and annotations.
The relationship between the lists and the rest of an SBML model is illustrated by the following (for SBML Level 2 Version 4):

Readers may wonder about the motivations for using the ListOf___ containers in SBML. A simpler approach in XML might be to place the components all directly at the top level of the model definition. The choice made in SBML is to group them within XML elements named after ListOfClassname, in part because it helps organize the components. More importantly, the fact that the container classes are derived from SBase means that software tools can add information about the lists themselves into each list container's 'annotation'.

- Method Detail
  - delete
```
public void delete()
```
    Explicitly deletes the underlying native object.
    In general, application software will not need to call this method directly. The Java language binding for libSBML is implemented as a language wrapper that provides a Java interface to libSBML's underlying C++/C code. Some of the Java methods return objects that are linked to objects created not by Java code, but by C++ code. The Java objects wrapped around them will be deleted when the garbage collector invokes the corresponding C++ finalize() methods for the objects. The finalize() methods in turn call the ListOfDeletions.delete() method on the libSBML object.
    This method is exposed in case calling programs want to ensure that the underlying object is freed immediately, and not at some arbitrary time determined by the Java garbage collector. In normal usage, callers do not need to invoke ListOfDeletions.delete() themselves.
    
    Overrides:
    
    delete in class ListOf
  - cloneObject
```
public ListOfDeletions cloneObject()
```
    Creates and returns a deep copy of this ListOfDeletions object.
    
    Overrides:
    
    cloneObject in class ListOf
    
    Returns:
    
    a (deep) copy of this ListOfDeletions.
  - get
```
public SBase get(long n)
```
    Get a Deletion from the ListOfDeletions.
    
    Overrides:
    
    get in class ListOf
    
    Parameters:
    
    n - the index number of the Deletion to get.
    
    Returns:
    
    the nth Deletion in this ListOfDeletions.
    
    See Also:
    
    ListOf.size()
  - get
```
public Deletion get(java.lang.String sid)
```
    Get a Deletion from the ListOfDeletions based on its identifier.
    
    Parameters:
    
    sid - a string representing the identifier of the Deletion to get.
    
    Returns:
    
    Deletion in this ListOfDeletions with the given sid or null if no such Member exists.
    
    See Also:
    
    ListOfDeletions.get(long n), ListOf.size()
  - remove
```
public SBase remove(long n)
```
    Removes the nth item from this ListOfDeletions items and returns a pointer to it.
    The caller owns the returned item and is responsible for deleting it.
    
    Overrides:
    
    remove in class ListOf
    
    Parameters:
    
    n - the index of the item to remove
    
    See Also:
    
    ListOf.size()
  - remove
```
public Deletion remove(java.lang.String sid)
```
    Removes an item from this ListOfDeletions items based on its identifier and returns a pointer to it.
    The caller owns the returned item and is responsible for deleting it.
    
    Parameters:
    
    sid - string representing the id of the item to remove
    
    See Also:
    
    ListOf.size()
  - getItemTypeCode
```
public int getItemTypeCode()
```
    Returns the libSBML type code for the objects contained in this ListOf (i.e., Deletion objects, if the list is non-empty).
    
    LibSBML attaches an identifying code to every kind of SBML object. These are integer constants known as SBML type codes. The names of all the codes begin with the characters SBML_. In the Java language interface for libSBML, the type codes are defined as static integer constants in the interface class libsbmlConstants. Note that different Level 3 package plug-ins may use overlapping type codes to identify the package to which a given object belongs, call the getPackageName() method on the object.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getItemTypeCode in class ListOf
    
    Returns:
    
    the SBML type code for objects contained in this list: SBML_COMP_DELETION (default).
    
    See Also:
    
    ListOfDeletions.getElementName(), SBase.getPackageName()
  - getElementName
```
public java.lang.String getElementName()
```
    Returns the XML element name of this SBML object.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getElementName in class ListOf
    
    Returns:
    
    the name of this element, as a text string.
