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 behavior.

    Copies the given array and adds the given element at the end of the new array.
    The new array contains the same elements of the input array plus the given element in the last position. The component type of the new array is the same as that of the input array.
    If the input array is null, a new one element array is returned whose component type is the same as the element.
```
 ArrayUtils.add(null, true)          = [true]
 ArrayUtils.add([true], false)       = [true, false]
 ArrayUtils.add([true, false], true) = [true, false, true]
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    array - the array to copy and add the element to, may be null
    
    element - the object to add at the last index of the new array
    
    Returns:
    
    A new array containing the existing elements plus the new element

```
    Deprecated. this method has been superseded by insert(int, boolean[], boolean...) and may be removed in a future release. Please note the handling of null input arrays differs in the new method: inserting X into a null array results in null not X.
    Inserts the specified element at the specified position in the array. Shifts the element currently at that position (if any) and any subsequent elements to the right (adds one to their indices).
    This method returns a new array with the same elements of the input array plus the given element on the specified position. The component type of the returned array is always the same as that of the input array.
    If the input array is null, a new one element array is returned whose component type is the same as the element.

```
    Shifts the order of a series of elements in the given float array.
    There is no special handling for multi-dimensional arrays. This method does nothing for null or empty input arrays.
    
    Parameters:
    
    array - the array to shift, may be null
    
    startIndexInclusive - the starting index. Undervalue (<0) is promoted to 0, overvalue (>array.length) results in no change.
    
    endIndexExclusive - elements up to endIndex-1 are shifted in the array. Undervalue (< start index) results in no change. Overvalue (>array.length) is demoted to array length.
    
    offset - The number of positions to rotate the elements. If the offset is larger than the number of elements to rotate, than the effective offset is modulo the number of elements to rotate.

    endIndexExclusive - elements up to endIndex-1 are present in the returned subarray. Undervalue (< startIndex) produces empty array, overvalue (>array.length) is demoted to array length.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new array containing the elements between the start and end indices.

```
    Produces a new array containing the elements between the start and end indices.
    The start index is inclusive, the end index exclusive. Null array input produces null output.
    The component type of the subarray is always the same as that of the input array. Thus, if the input is an array of type Date, the following usage is envisaged:
```
 Date[] someDates = (Date[]) ArrayUtils.subarray(allDates, 2, 5);
 
```
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - the component type of the array
    
    Parameters:
    
    array - the array
    
    startIndexInclusive - the starting index. Undervalue (<0) is promoted to 0, overvalue (>array.length) results in an empty array.

public static void swap(short[] array,
                        int offset1,
                        int offset2)
```
    Swaps two elements in the given short array.
    There is no special handling for multi-dimensional arrays. This method does nothing for a null or empty input array or for overflow indices. Negative indices are promoted to 0(zero).
    Examples:
    - ArrayUtils.swap([1, 2, 3], 0, 2) -> [3, 2, 1]
    - ArrayUtils.swap([1, 2, 3], 0, 0) -> [1, 2, 3]
    - ArrayUtils.swap([1, 2, 3], 1, 0) -> [2, 1, 3]
    - ArrayUtils.swap([1, 2, 3], 0, 5) -> [1, 2, 3]
    - ArrayUtils.swap([1, 2, 3], -1, 1) -> [2, 1, 3]
    Parameters:
    
    array - the array to swap, may be null
    
    offset1 - the index of the first element to swap
    
    offset2 - the index of the second element to swap
    
    Since:

public static void swap(short[] array,
                        int offset1,
                        int offset2,
                        int len)
```
    Swaps a series of elements in the given short array.
    This method does nothing for a null or empty input array or for overflow indices. Negative indices are promoted to 0(zero). If any of the sub-arrays to swap falls outside of the given array, then the swap is stopped at the end of the array and as many as possible elements are swapped.
    Examples:
    - ArrayUtils.swap([1, 2, 3, 4], 0, 2, 1) -> [3, 2, 1, 4]
    - ArrayUtils.swap([1, 2, 3, 4], 0, 0, 1) -> [1, 2, 3, 4]
    - ArrayUtils.swap([1, 2, 3, 4], 2, 0, 2) -> [3, 4, 1, 2]
    - ArrayUtils.swap([1, 2, 3, 4], -3, 2, 2) -> [3, 4, 1, 2]
    - ArrayUtils.swap([1, 2, 3, 4], 0, 3, 3) -> [4, 2, 3, 1]
    Parameters:
    
    array - the array to swap, may be null
    
    offset1 - the index of the first element in the series to swap
    
    offset2 - the index of the second element in the series to swap
    
    len - the number of elements to swap starting with the given indices
    
    Since:

  - toArray
```
public static <T> T[] toArray(T... items)
```
    Create a type-safe generic array.
    The Java language does not allow an array to be created from a generic type:
```
    public static <T> T[] createAnArray(int size) {
        return new T[size]; // compiler error here
    }
    public static <T> T[] createAnArray(int size) {
        return (T[]) new Object[size]; // ClassCastException at runtime
    }
 
```
    Therefore new arrays of generic types can be created with this method. For example, an array of Strings can be created:
```
    String[] array = ArrayUtils.toArray("1", "2");
    String[] emptyArray = ArrayUtils.<String>toArray();
 
```
    The method is typically used in scenarios, where the caller itself uses generic types that have to be combined into an array.
    Note, this method makes only sense to provide arguments of the same type so that the compiler can deduce the type of the array itself. While it is possible to select the type explicitly like in Number[] array = ArrayUtils.<Number>toArray(Integer.valueOf(42), Double.valueOf(Math.PI)), there is no real advantage when compared to new Number[] {Integer.valueOf(42), Double.valueOf(Math.PI)}.
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - the array's element type
    
    Parameters:
    
    items - the varargs array items, null allowed
    
    Returns:
    
    the array, not null unless a null array is passed in
    
    Since:

  - toMap
```
public static Map<Object,Object> toMap(Object[] array)
```
    Converts the given array into a Map. Each element of the array must be either a Map.Entry or an Array, containing at least two elements, where the first element is used as key and the second as value.
    This method can be used to initialize:
```
 // Create a Map mapping colors.
 Map colorMap = ArrayUtils.toMap(new String[][] {
     {"RED", "#FF0000"},
     {"GREEN", "#00FF00"},
     {"BLUE", "#0000FF"}});
 
```
    This method returns null for a null input array.
    Parameters:
    
    array - an array whose elements are either a Map.Entry or an Array containing at least two elements, may be null
    
    Returns:
    
    a Map that was created from the array
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if one element of this Array is itself an Array containing less then two elements
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the array contains elements other than Map.Entry and an Array
