```
public class ListOfTransitions
extends ListOf
```
qual A list of Transition objects.
The ListOfTransitions is a container for the Transition elements of a Model.

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 ListOfTransitions.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 ListOfTransitions.delete() themselves.
    
    Overrides:
    
    delete in class ListOf
  - cloneObject
```
public ListOfTransitions cloneObject()
```
    Creates and returns a deep copy of this ListOfTransitions object.
    
    Overrides:
    
    cloneObject in class ListOf
    
    Returns:
    
    a (deep) copy of this ListOfTransitions object.
  - get

    Overrides:
    
    get in class ListOf
    
    Parameters:
    
    n - the index number of the Transition to get.
    
    Returns:
    
    the nth Transition in this ListOfTransitions.
    
    See Also:
    
    ListOf.size()
  - get
```
public Transition get(java.lang.String sid)
```
    Get a Transition from the ListOfTransitions based on its identifier.
    
    Parameters:
    
    sid - a string representing the identifier of the Transition to get.
    
    Returns:
    
    Transition in this ListOfTransitions with the given id or null if no such Transition exists.
    
    See Also:
    
    *, ListOf.size()
  - remove
```
public Transition remove(long n)
```
    Removes the nth Transition from this ListOfTransitions 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 Transition to remove.
    
    See Also:
    
    ListOf.size()
  - remove
```
public Transition remove(java.lang.String sid)
```
    Removes the Transition from this ListOfTransitions with the given identifier and returns a pointer to it.
    The caller owns the returned item and is responsible for deleting it. If none of the items in this list have the identifier sid, then null is returned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    sid - the identifier of the Transition to remove.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Transition removed. As mentioned above, the caller owns the returned item.
  - getElementName
```
public java.lang.String getElementName()
```
    Returns the XML name of this object.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getElementName in class ListOf
    
    Returns:
    
    the name of this element.
  - getItemTypeCode
```
public int getItemTypeCode()
```
    Returns the libSBML type code for the SBML objects contained in this ListOf object.
    
    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_QUAL_TRANSITION (default).
