public static final void assertInstance(Object object,
Class c)
object - The object to check; may be null.c - The class which the object should be; must not be
null.
public static final int compare(boolean left,
boolean right)
false is considered to be
"less than" true.
left - The left value to compareright - The right value to compare
-1 if the left is false and the
right is true. 1 if the opposite
is true. If they are equal, then it returns 0.
public static final int compare(int left,
int right)
left - The left value to compareright - The right value to compare
left - right
public static final int compare(Comparable left,
Comparable right)
null.
left - The left object to compare; may be null.right - The right object to compare; may be null.
null is considered
to be the least possible value.
public static final int compare(Comparable[] left,
Comparable[] right)
null.
left - The left array to be compared; may be null.right - The right array to be compared; may be null.
null is considered
to be the least possible value. A shorter array is considered
less than a longer array.
public static final int compare(List left,
List right)
null. The lists must
contain comparable objects.
left - The left list to compare; may be null. This
list must only contain instances of Comparable.right - The right list to compare; may be null. This
list must only contain instances of Comparable.
null is considered
to be the least possible value. A shorter list is considered less
than a longer list.
public static final boolean endsWith(Object[] left,
Object[] right,
boolean equals)
left - The array to check (larger); may be null.right - The array that should be a subsequence (smaller); may be
null.equals - Whether the two array are allowed to be equal.
true if the second array is a subsequence of the
array list, and they share end elements.
public static final boolean equals(Object left,
Object right)
null -- allowing for
null.
left - The left object to compare; may be null.right - The right object to compare; may be null.
true if the two objects are equivalent;
false otherwise.
public static final boolean equals(Object[] leftArray,
Object[] rightArray)
null, but their elements may be
null.
leftArray - The left array to compare; may be null, and
may be empty and may contain null elements.rightArray - The right array to compare; may be null, and
may be empty and may contain null elements.
true if the arrays are equal length and the
elements at the same position are equal; false
otherwise.public static final int hashCode(int i)
i - The integer value
ipublic static final int hashCode(Object object)
null.
object - The object for which a hash code is required.
object.hashCode or 0 if
object if null.public static final int hashCode(Object[] objects)
null.
objects - The array of objects for which a hash code is needed; may be
null.
objects; or 0 if
objects is null.
public static final boolean startsWith(Object[] left,
Object[] right,
boolean equals)
left - The first array to compare (large); may be null.right - The second array to compare (small); may be null.equals - Whether it is allowed for the two arrays to be equivalent.
true if the first arrays starts with the second
list; false otherwise.public static final String toString(Object[] array)
array - The array to convert; may be null.
null.
public static final String translateString(ResourceBundle resourceBundle,
String key,
String defaultString)
resourceBundle - The key to look up in the resource bundle; should not be
null.key - The key to look up in the resource bundle; should not be
null.defaultString - The value to return if the resource cannot be found; may be
null.
key. If
the key cannot be found, then it is simply the
defaultString.
