The Collection class exposes a generous public API, consisting of, at the time of this writing, 64 public methods.

This section will cover most of the methods in the public API, excluding those methods required to implement PHP's ArrayAccess and IteratorAggregateinterfaces, as well as the getCachingIterator method.
