public class Arrays extends Object
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
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
.)
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

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.
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 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 techiques 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.

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

that of the value returned by

difference: If an element
e
of
a

its hash code is computed not by calling
e.hashCode()
, but as
by calling the appropriate overloading of
Arrays.hashCode(e)
if
e

deepToString(Object[])
public static String deepToString(Object[] a)
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 .
