Method Detail

nextHashCode

public static final int nextHashCode(int prevHashVal,
                                     int newVal)

Returns the next hash value by giving the previous one and a new one. The caller usually uses a loop to accumulate all related fields.

Parameters:

prevHashVal - the previous hash value returned by this method; 0 if it is the first call.

newVal - the new value to put in

Returns:

the new hash value

hashCode

public static final int hashCode(boolean[] v)

Generates hash codes for an array of boolean. It is suggested to cache the hash code.

Parameters:

v - the array

Returns:

the hash code

hashCode

public static final int hashCode(byte[] v)

Generates hash codes for an array of bytes. It is suggested to cache the hash code.

Parameters:

v - the array

Returns:

the hash code

hashCode

public static final int hashCode(byte[] v,
                                 int len)

Generates hash codes for an array of bytes up to the specified length. It is suggested to cache the hash code.

Parameters:

v - the array

len - the maximal length to generate hashCode

Returns:

the hash code

hashCode

public static final int hashCode(char[] v)

Generates hash codes for an array. It is suggested to cache the hash code.

Parameters:

v - the array

Returns:

the hash code

hashCode

public static final int hashCode(short[] v)

Generates hash codes for an array. It is suggested to cache the hash code.

Parameters:

v - the array

Returns:

the hash code

hashCode

public static final int hashCode(int[] v)

Generates hash codes for an array. It is suggested to cache the hash code.

Parameters:

v - the byte array

Returns:

the hash code

hashCode

public static final int hashCode(long[] v)

Generates hash codes for an array. It is suggested to cache the hash code.

Parameters:

v - the array

Returns:

the hash code

hashCode

public static final int hashCode(java.lang.Object o)

Returns the object's hash code, or zero if null.

equals

public static final boolean equals(java.lang.Object a,
                                   java.lang.Object b)

Tests whether two objects are equals.

It takes care of the null case. Thus, it is helpful to implement Object.equals.

Notice: it uses compareTo if BigDecimal is found. So, in this case, a.equals(b) might not be the same as Objects.equals(a, b).

If both a and b are Object[], they are compared item-by-item.

toCharArray

public static final char[] toCharArray(java.lang.Object o)

Converts any object to a character array.

Parameters:

o - the object to convert

Returns:

the char array or null if o is null

toString

public static final java.lang.String toString(java.lang.Object o)

Converts any object to a string. If o is an object array, it invokes ArraysX.toString(java.lang.Object[]) to make the string more readable.

toByteArray

public static final byte[] toByteArray(int v)

Converts an integer to a big-endian byte array.

toByteArray

public static final byte[] toByteArray(long v)

Converts a long to a big-endian byte array.

toByteArray

public static final byte[] toByteArray(short v)

Converts a short to a big-endian byte array.

toByteArray

public static final byte[] toByteArray(byte v)

Converts a byte to a big-endian byte array.

clone

public static final java.lang.Object clone(java.lang.Object o)

Clones the specified object. Use clone() if Cloneable. Otherwise, try to serialize/deserialize it by use of MarshalledObject.

If o is null, null is returned.

Throws:

SystemException - if failed to clone
