Class ArrayUtils

    public class ArrayUtils
    extends java.lang.Object
    Deprecated.
    Commons Lang 2 is in maintenance mode. Commons Lang 3 should be used instead.

    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.

        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:

        Parameters:
        array - the array
        startIndexInclusive - the starting index. Undervalue (<0) is promoted to 0, overvalue (>array.length) results in an empty array.
        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.

        public static int[] removeElement​(int[] array,
                                          int element)
        Deprecated.

        Removes the first occurrence of the specified element from the specified array. All subsequent elements are shifted to the left (substracts one from their indices). If the array doesn't contains such an element, no elements are removed from the array.

        This method returns a new array with the same elements of the input array except the first occurrence of the specified element. The component type of the returned array is always the same as that of the input array.

        Parameters:
        array - the array to remove the element from, may be null
        element - the element to be removed

        Deprecated.

        Removes the element at the specified position from the specified array. All subsequent elements are shifted to the left (substracts one from their indices).

        This method returns a new array with the same elements of the input array except the 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, an IndexOutOfBoundsException will be thrown, because in that case no valid index can be specified.

        Parameters:
        array - the array to remove the element from, may not be null
        index - the position of the element to be removed
        Returns:
        A new array containing the existing elements except the element at the specified position.
