Arrays

public static List<T> asList (T... a)

Returns a fixed-size list backed by the specified array. (Changes to the returned list "write through" to the array.) This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs, in combination with Collection.toArray(). The returned list is serializable and implements RandomAccess.

This method also provides a convenient way to create a fixed-size list initialized to contain several elements:

     List<String> stooges = Arrays.asList("Larry", "Moe", "Curly");

Parameters

a	the array by which the list will be backed

Returns

a list view of the specified array

public static int binarySearch (char[] a, int fromIndex, int toIndex, char key)

Searches a range of the specified array of chars for the specified value using the binary search algorithm. The range must be sorted (as by the sort(char[], int, int) method) prior to making this call. If it is not sorted, the results are undefined. If the range contains multiple elements with the specified value, there is no guarantee which one will be found.

Parameters

a	the array to be searched
fromIndex	the index of the first element (inclusive) to be searched
toIndex	the index of the last element (exclusive) to be searched
key	the value to be searched for

Returns

index of the search key, if it is contained in the array within the specified range; otherwise, (-(insertion point) - 1). The insertion point is defined as the point at which the key would be inserted into the array: the index of the first element in the range greater than the key, or toIndex if all elements in the range are less than the specified key. Note that this guarantees that the return value will be >= 0 if and only if the key is found.

Throws

IllegalArgumentException	if `fromIndex > toIndex`
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException	if `fromIndex < 0 or toIndex > a.length`

public static int binarySearch (long[] a, long key)

Parameters

a	the array to be searched
key	the value to be searched for

Returns

index of the search key, if it is contained in the array; otherwise, (-(insertion point) - 1). The insertion point is defined as the point at which the key would be inserted into the array: the index of the first element greater than the key, or a.length if all elements in the array are less than the specified key. Note that this guarantees that the return value will be >= 0 if and only if the key is found.

public static boolean deepEquals (Object[] a1, Object[] a2)

Returns true if the two specified arrays are deeply equal to one another. Unlike the equals(Object[], Object[]) method, this method is appropriate for use with nested arrays of arbitrary depth.

Two array references are considered deeply equal if both are null, or if they refer to arrays that contain the same number of elements and all corresponding pairs of elements in the two arrays are deeply equal.

Two possibly null elements e1 and e2 are deeply equal if any of the following conditions hold:

e1 and e2 are both arrays of object reference types, and Arrays.deepEquals(e1, e2) would return true
e1 and e2 are arrays of the same primitive type, and the appropriate overloading of Arrays.equals(e1, e2) would return true.
e1 == e2
e1.equals(e2) would return true.

Note that this definition permits null elements at any depth.

If either of the specified arrays contain themselves as elements either directly or indirectly through one or more levels of arrays, the behavior of this method is undefined.

Parameters

a1	one array to be tested for equality
a2	the other array to be tested for equality

Returns

true if the two arrays are equal

public static int deepHashCode (Object[] a)

Returns a hash code based on the "deep contents" of the specified array. If the array contains other arrays as elements, the hash code is based on their contents and so on, ad infinitum. It is therefore unacceptable to invoke this method on an array that contains itself as an element, either directly or indirectly through one or more levels of arrays. The behavior of such an invocation is undefined.

For any two arrays a and b such that Arrays.deepEquals(a, b), it is also the case that Arrays.deepHashCode(a) == Arrays.deepHashCode(b).

The computation of the value returned by this method is similar to that of the value returned by List.hashCode() on a list containing the same elements as a in the same order, with one difference: If an element e of a is itself an array, its hash code is computed not by calling e.hashCode(), but as by calling the appropriate overloading of Arrays.hashCode(e) if e is an array of a primitive type, or as by calling Arrays.deepHashCode(e) recursively if e is an array of a reference type. If a is null, this method returns 0.

Parameters

a	the array whose deep-content-based hash code to compute

Returns

a deep-content-based hash code for a

public static String deepToString (Object[] a)

Returns a string representation of the "deep contents" of the specified array. If the array contains other arrays as elements, the string representation contains their contents and so on. This method is designed for converting multidimensional arrays to strings.

The string representation consists of a list of the array's elements, enclosed in square brackets ("[]"). Adjacent elements are separated by the characters ", " (a comma followed by a space). Elements are converted to strings as by String.valueOf(Object), unless they are themselves arrays.

If an element e is an array of a primitive type, it is converted to a string as by invoking the appropriate overloading of Arrays.toString(e). If an element e is an array of a reference type, it is converted to a string as by invoking this method recursively.

To avoid infinite recursion, if the specified array contains itself as an element, or contains an indirect reference to itself through one or more levels of arrays, the self-reference is converted to the string "[...]". For example, an array containing only a reference to itself would be rendered as "[[...]]".

This method returns "null" if the specified array is null.

Parameters

a	the array whose string representation to return

Returns

a string representation of a

public static boolean equals (Object[] a, Object[] a2)

public static void sort (T[] a, int fromIndex, int toIndex, Comparator<? super T> c)

Sorts the specified range of the specified array of objects according to the order induced by the specified comparator. The range to be sorted extends from index fromIndex, inclusive, to index toIndex, exclusive. (If fromIndex==toIndex, the range to be sorted is empty.) All elements in the range must be mutually comparable by the specified comparator (that is, c.compare(e1, e2) must not throw a ClassCastException for any elements e1 and e2 in the range).

This sort is guaranteed to be stable: equal elements will not be reordered as a result of the sort.

Implementation note: This implementation is a stable, adaptive, iterative mergesort that requires far fewer than n lg(n) comparisons when the input array is partially sorted, while offering the performance of a traditional mergesort when the input array is randomly ordered. If the input array is nearly sorted, the implementation requires approximately n comparisons. Temporary storage requirements vary from a small constant for nearly sorted input arrays to n/2 object references for randomly ordered input arrays.

The implementation takes equal advantage of ascending and descending order in its input array, and can take advantage of ascending and descending order in different parts of the the same input array. It is well-suited to merging two or more sorted arrays: simply concatenate the arrays and sort the resulting array.

The implementation was adapted from Tim Peters's list sort for Python ( TimSort). It uses techniques from Peter McIlroy's "Optimistic Sorting and Information Theoretic Complexity", in Proceedings of the Fourth Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, pp 467-474, January 1993.

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException	if `fromIndex < 0` or `toIndex > a.length`

This method uses the total order imposed by the method Comparable.compareTo(T): -0.0d is treated as less than value 0.0d and Double.NaN is considered greater than any other value and all Double.NaN values are considered equal.

Implementation note: The sorting algorithm is a Dual-Pivot Quicksort by Vladimir Yaroslavskiy, Jon Bentley, and Joshua Bloch. This algorithm offers O(n log(n)) performance on many data sets that cause other quicksorts to degrade to quadratic performance, and is typically faster than traditional (one-pivot) Quicksort implementations.

Parameters

a	the array to be sorted
fromIndex	the index of the first element, inclusive, to be sorted
toIndex	the index of the last element, exclusive, to be sorted

Throws

IllegalArgumentException	if `fromIndex > toIndex`
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException	if `fromIndex < 0` or `toIndex > a.length`

public static void sort (Object[] a)

Sorts the specified array of objects into ascending order, according to the {@linkplain Comparable natural ordering} of its elements. All elements in the array must implement the Comparable interface. Furthermore, all elements in the array must be mutually comparable (that is, e1.compareTo(e2) must not throw a ClassCastException for any elements e1 and e2 in the array).

This sort is guaranteed to be stable: equal elements will not be reordered as a result of the sort.

Implementation note: This implementation is a stable, adaptive, iterative mergesort that requires far fewer than n lg(n) comparisons when the input array is partially sorted, while offering the performance of a traditional mergesort when the input array is randomly ordered. If the input array is nearly sorted, the implementation requires approximately n comparisons. Temporary storage requirements vary from a small constant for nearly sorted input arrays to n/2 object references for randomly ordered input arrays.

The implementation takes equal advantage of ascending and descending order in its input array, and can take advantage of ascending and descending order in different parts of the the same input array. It is well-suited to merging two or more sorted arrays: simply concatenate the arrays and sort the resulting array.

The implementation was adapted from Tim Peters's list sort for Python ( TimSort). It uses techniques from Peter McIlroy's "Optimistic Sorting and Information Theoretic Complexity", in Proceedings of the Fourth Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, pp 467-474, January 1993.

ClassCastException	if the array contains elements that are not mutually comparable (for example, strings and integers)
IllegalArgumentException	(optional) if the natural ordering of the array elements is found to violate the `Comparable` contract

public static void sort (float[] a)

Sorts the specified array into ascending numerical order.
