The documentation for the methods contained in this class includes briefs description of the
implementations
. Such descriptions should be regarded as
implementation notes
, rather than parts of the
specification
. Implementors should feel free to substitute other algorithms, so long as the specification itself is adhered to. (For example, the algorithm used by
sort(Object[])
does not have to be a mergesort, but it does have to be
stable
.)

sort
public static void sort(double[] a)
-
Sorts the specified array of doubles into ascending numerical order.
The < relation does not provide a total order on all floating-point values; although they are distinct numbers -0.0 == 0.0 is true and a NaN value compares neither less than, greater than, nor equal to any floating-point value, even itself. To allow the sort to proceed, instead of using the < relation to determine ascending numerical order, this method uses the total order imposed by
Double.compareTo(java.lang.Double)
. This ordering differs from the < relation in that -0.0 is treated as less than 0.0 and NaN is considered greater than any other floating-point value. For the purposes of sorting, all NaN values are considered equivalent and equal.

sort
public static void sort(Object[] a)
-
Sorts the specified array of objects into ascending order, according to the
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.
The sorting algorithm is a modified mergesort (in which the merge is omitted if the highest element in the low sublist is less than the lowest element in the high sublist). This algorithm offers guaranteed n*log(n) performance.
-
-
Parameters:
-
a - the array to be sorted.
-
Throws:
-
ClassCastException
- if the array contains elements that are not
mutually comparable
(for example, strings and integers).

public static <T> void sort(T[] a,
Comparator( Object<? super T> c) [] a,
Comparator c)
-
Sorts the specified array of objects according to the order induced by the specified comparator. All elements in the array 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 array).
This sort is guaranteed to be
stable
: equal elements will not be reordered as a result of the sort.
The sorting algorithm is a modified mergesort (in which the merge is omitted if the highest element in the low sublist is less than the lowest element in the high sublist). This algorithm offers guaranteed n*log(n) performance.
-
-
Parameters:
-
a - the array to be sorted.
-
c - the comparator to determine the order of the array. A
null
value indicates that the elements'
natural ordering
should be used.
-
Throws:
-
ClassCastException
- if the array contains elements that are not
mutually comparable
using the specified comparator.

-
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).

Assigns the specified Object reference to each element of the specified range of the specified array of Objects. The range to be filled extends from index
fromIndex
, inclusive, to index
toIndex
, exclusive. (If
fromIndex==toIndex
, the range to be filled is empty.)
-
-
Parameters:
-
a - the array to be filled.
-
fromIndex - the index of the first element (inclusive) to be filled with the specified value.
-
toIndex - the index of the last element (exclusive) to be filled with the specified value.
-
val - the value to be stored in all elements of the array.
-
Throws:
-
IllegalArgumentException
- if
fromIndex > toIndex
-
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
- if
fromIndex < 0
or
toIndex > a.length
asList

hashCode
public static int hashCode ( Object[] a)
-
Returns a hash code based on the contents of the specified array. If the array contains other arrays as elements, the hash code is based on their identities rather than their contents. It is therefore acceptable to invoke this method on an array that contains itself as an element, either directly or indirectly through one or more levels of arrays.

a
and
b
such that
Arrays.equals(a, b)
, it is also the case that
Arrays.hashCode(a) == Arrays.hashCode(b)

, unless
a
is
null
, in which case
0
is returned.
-
-
Parameters:
-
the - array whose content-based hash code to compute
-
Returns:
-
a content-based hash code for
a

deepHashCode(Object[])
deepHashCode
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:
-
the - array whose deep-content-based hash code to compute
-
Returns:
-
a deep-content-based hash code for
a

hashCode(Object[])
deepEquals
public static boolean deepEquals ( Object[] a1,
Object[] a2)
-
Returns
true
if the two specified arrays are
deeply equal
to one another. Unlike the @link{#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

toString
public static StringtoString ( Object[] a)
-
Returns a string representation of the contents of the specified array. If the array contains other arrays as elements, they are converted to strings by the
Object.toString()
method inherited from
Object
, which describes their
identities
rather than their contents.
The value returned by this method is equal to the value that would be returned by
Arrays.asList(a).toString()
, unless

#deepToString()
deepToString
public static StringdeepToString ( 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
.
