Method Detail

addElement

public static java.lang.Object addElement(java.lang.Object ar,
                                          java.lang.Object elem)

Adds an element to the end of an array. Although the return type is an Object, you can cast it to an array of the same type as ar.

Parameters:

ar - The array to add an element to.

elem - The element to add to the end of the array.

Returns:

A new array with the same elements as ar, with elem at the end.

addElementUnique

public static java.lang.Object addElementUnique(java.lang.Object ar,
                                                java.lang.Object elem)

Adds an element to the end of an array, if and only if the element is not already in the array. Comparison is done using the == operator, NOT the Object.equals method. Although the return type is an Object, you can cast it to an array of the same type as ar.

Parameters:

ar - The array to add an element to.

elem - The element to add to the end of the array.

Returns:

A new array with the same elements as ar, with elem at the end.

addArray

public static java.lang.Object addArray(java.lang.Object ar1,
                                        java.lang.Object ar2)

Creates a new array containing the elements of two arrays. The elements of the first array will be located at the front of the resulting array, while the elements of the second will appear at the end. This order is guaranteed. Although the return type is an Object, you can cast it to an array of the same type as the first array.

Parameters:

ar1 - The array to add the other array to.

ar2 - The array to add at the end of the first array.

Returns:

A new array with the same elements as ar, with all elements of arrtoadd added at the end.

addArrayUnique

public static java.lang.Object addArrayUnique(java.lang.Object ar1,
                                              java.lang.Object ar2)

Creates a new array containing the unique elements of two arrays. Comparison is done using the == operator, NOT Object.equals. This means the null element will appear once in the result, iff it appears at least once in either of the two input arrays. The order of the elements is the same as the two input arrays, with the elements of the first array up front. Although the return type is an Object, you can cast it to an array of the same type as the first (or second for that matter) array.

Parameters:

ar1 - The array to add the other array to.

ar2 - The array to add at the end of the first array.

Returns:

A new array with the unique elements of the first and second array.

remElement

public static java.lang.Object remElement(java.lang.Object ar,
                                          int pos)

Removes the element at given position, and moves all elements above that 1 position down. Although the return type is an Object[], you can cast it to an array of the same type as ar.

Parameters:

ar - The array to remove the element from.

pos - The position of the element to remove.

Returns:

A new array containing all elements of ar, except the element at position pos.

remElement

public static java.lang.Object remElement(java.lang.Object ar,
                                          java.lang.Object elem)

Removes an element from an array. Not an equals method is used, but a direct == comparison. This method will thus only remove the exact same element from the array. Although the return type is an Object[], you can cast it to an array of the same type as ar.

Parameters:

ar - The array to remove the element from.

elem - The element to remove.

Returns:

A new array containing all elements of ar, except elem.

setElement

public static java.lang.Object setElement(java.lang.Object ar,
                                          java.lang.Object oldo,
                                          java.lang.Object newo)

Replaces an element in an array with another. Although the return type is an Object[], you can cast it to an array of the same type as ar.

Parameters:

ar - The array to replace the element in.

oldo - The element to replace.

newo - The element to replace it with.

Returns:

A new array containing all elements of ar, except elem.

findElement

public static int findElement(java.lang.Object ar,

Checks if an element is part of an array, using the == operator.

Parameters:

ar - The array to search.

elem - The element to search for.

Returns:

The index of the element in the array. If the element is not in the array, returns -1.

findElementA

Change the size of an array. If the size of the array increases, then fill the new elements of the array (at the end) with new instances of a specific class.

Parameters:

input - The original array

newLength - The new length of the array

newClass - The class of the new elements. It is necessary that objects of this class can be instantiated with Class.newInstance. If the new length is less than the old length of the array, then this parameter is irrelevant.
