The methods in this class all throw a NullPointerException
,
if the specified array reference is null, except where noted.
The documentation for the methods contained in this class includes
brief descriptions 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.)
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

parallelSort
Sorts the specified array of objects into ascending order, according to the natural ordering of its elements. All elements in the array must implement theComparable
interface. Furthermore, all elements in the array must be mutually comparable (that is,e1.compareTo(e2)

sort
Sorts the specified array of objects into ascending order, according to the natural ordering of its elements. All elements in the array must implement theComparable
interface. Furthermore, all elements in the array must be mutually comparable (that is,e1.compareTo(e2)
must not throw aClassCastException
for any elementse1
ande2
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 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.

interface. Furthermore, all elements in this range must be mutually comparable (that is,e1.compareTo(e2)
must not throw aClassCastException
for any elementse1
ande2
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 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.

hashCode
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.For any two arrays

deepHashCode
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
andb
such thatArrays.deepEquals(a, b)
, it is also the case thatArrays.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 asa
in the same order, with one difference: If an elemente
ofa
is itself an array, its hash code is computed not by callinge.hashCode()
, but as by calling the appropriate overloading ofArrays.hashCode(e)
ife
is an array of a primitive type, or as by callingArrays.deepHashCode(e)
recursively ife
is an array of a reference type. Ifa
isnull

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
elementse1
ande2
are deeply equal if any of the following conditions hold:-
e1
ande2
are both arrays of object reference types, andArrays.deepEquals(e1, e2) would return true
-
e1
ande2
are arrays of the same primitive type, and the appropriate overloading ofArrays.equals(e1, e2)
would return true. -
e1 == e2

deepToString
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 byString.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 ofArrays.toString(e)
. If an elemente
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 isnull
.- Parameters:
a

compare
public static int compare(double[] a, double[] b) Compares twodouble
arrays lexicographically.If the two arrays share a common prefix then the lexicographic comparison is the result of comparing two elements, as if by
Double.compare(double, double)
, at an index within the respective arrays that is the prefix length. Otherwise, one array is a proper prefix of the other and, lexicographic comparison is the result of comparing the two array lengths. (Seemismatch(double[], double[])
