Class ArrayUtils

java.lang.Object
  extended byorg.apache.commons.lang.ArrayUtils

public class ArrayUtils
extends Object

Operations on arrays, primitive arrays (like int[]) and primitive wrapper arrays (like Integer[]).

This class tries to handle null input gracefully. An exception will not be thrown for a null array input. However, an Object array that contains a null element may throw an exception. Each method documents its behaviour.

Constructor Detail

ArrayUtils

public ArrayUtils()

ArrayUtils instances should NOT be constructed in standard programming. Instead, the class should be used as ArrayUtils.clone(new int[] {2}).

This constructor is public to permit tools that require a JavaBean instance to operate.

Method Detail

toString

public static String toString(Object array)

Outputs an array as a String, treating null as an empty array.

Multi-dimensional arrays are handled correctly, including multi-dimensional primitive arrays.

The format is that of Java source code, for example {a,b}.

Parameters:
array - the array to get a toString for, may be null
Returns:
a String representation of the array, '{}' if null array input

toString

public static String toString(Object array,
                              String stringIfNull)

Outputs an array as a String handling nulls.

Multi-dimensional arrays are handled correctly, including multi-dimensional primitive arrays.

The format is that of Java source code, for example {a,b}.

Parameters:
array - the array to get a toString for, may be null
stringIfNull - the String to return if the array is null
Returns:
a String representation of the array

hashCode

public static int hashCode(Object array)

Get a hashCode for an array handling multi-dimensional arrays correctly.

Multi-dimensional primitive arrays are also handled correctly by this method.

Parameters:
