        21.0
      • concat

        public static int[] concat​(int[]... arrays)
        Returns the values from each provided array combined into a single array. For example, concat(new int[] {a, b}, new int[] {}, new int[] {c} returns the array {a, b, c}.
        Parameters:
        arrays - zero or more int arrays
        Returns:
        a single array containing all the values from the source arrays, in order
      • toByteArray

        public static byte[] toByteArray​(int value)
        Returns a big-endian representation of value in a 4-element byte array; equivalent to ByteBuffer.allocate(4).putInt(value).array(). For example, the input value 0x12131415 would yield the byte array {0x12, 0x13, 0x14, 0x15}.

        If you need to convert and concatenate several values (possibly even of different types), use a shared ByteBuffer instance, or use ByteStreams.newDataOutput() to get a growable buffer.

      • fromByteArray

        public static int fromByteArray​(byte[] bytes)
        Returns the int value whose big-endian representation is stored in the first 4 bytes of bytes; equivalent to ByteBuffer.wrap(bytes).getInt(). For example, the input byte array {0x12, 0x13, 0x14, 0x15, 0x33} would yield the int value 0x12131415.

        Arguably, it's preferable to use ByteBuffer; that library exposes much more flexibility at little cost in readability.

        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if bytes has fewer than 4 elements
      • fromBytes

        public static int fromBytes​(byte b1,
                                    byte b2,
                                    byte b3,
                                    byte b4)
        Returns the int value whose byte representation is the given 4 bytes, in big-endian order; equivalent to Ints.fromByteArray(new byte[] {b1, b2, b3, b4}).
        Since:
        7.0
      • stringConverter

        public static Converter<java.lang.String,​java.lang.Integer> stringConverter()
        Returns a serializable converter object that converts between strings and integers using Integer.decode(java.lang.String) and Integer.toString(). The returned converter throws NumberFormatException if the input string is invalid.

        Warning: please see Integer.decode(java.lang.String) to understand exactly how strings are parsed. For example, the string "0123" is treated as octal and converted to the value 83.

        Since:
        16.0
      • ensureCapacity

        public static int[] ensureCapacity​(int[] array,
                                           int minLength,
                                           int padding)
        Returns an array containing the same values as array, but guaranteed to be of a specified minimum length. If array already has a length of at least minLength, it is returned directly. Otherwise, a new array of size minLength + padding is returned, containing the values of array, and zeroes in the remaining places.
        Parameters:
        array - the source array
        minLength - the minimum length the returned array must guarantee
        padding - an extra amount to "grow" the array by if growth is necessary
        Returns:
        an array containing the values of array, with guaranteed minimum length minLength
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if minLength or padding is negative
      • join

        public static java.lang.String join​(java.lang.String separator,
                                            int... array)
        Returns a string containing the supplied int values separated by separator. For example, join("-", 1, 2, 3) returns the string "1-2-3".
        Parameters:
        separator - the text that should appear between consecutive values in the resulting string (but not at the start or end)
        array - an array of int values, possibly empty
      • lexicographicalComparator

        public static java.util.Comparator<int[]> lexicographicalComparator()
        Returns a comparator that compares two int arrays lexicographically. That is, it compares, using compare(int, int)), the first pair of values that follow any common prefix, or when one array is a prefix of the other, treats the shorter array as the lesser. For example, [] < [1] < [1, 2] < [2].

        The returned comparator is inconsistent with Object.equals(Object) (since arrays support only identity equality), but it is consistent with Arrays.equals(int[], int[]).

        Since:
        2.0
      • sortDescending

        public static void sortDescending​(int[] array)

        Sorts the elements of array between fromIndex inclusive and toIndex exclusive in descending order.
        Since:
        23.1
      • reverse

        public static void reverse​(int[] array)
        Reverses the elements of array. This is equivalent to Collections.reverse(Ints.asList(array)), but is likely to be more efficient.
        Since:
        23.1
      • reverse

        public static void reverse​(int[] array,
                                   int fromIndex,
                                   int toIndex)
        Reverses the elements of array between fromIndex inclusive and toIndex exclusive. This is equivalent to Collections.reverse(Ints.asList(array).subList(fromIndex, toIndex)), but is likely to be more efficient.
        Throws:
        java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if fromIndex < 0, toIndex > array.length, or toIndex > fromIndex
        Since:
        23.1
      • rotate

        public static void rotate​(int[] array,
                                  int distance)
        Performs a right rotation of array of "distance" places, so that the first element is moved to index "distance", and the element at index i ends up at index (distance + i) mod array.length. This is equivalent to Collections.rotate(Ints.asList(array), distance), but is considerably faster and avoids allocation and garbage collection.

        The provided "distance" may be negative, which will rotate left.

        Since:
        32.0.0
      • rotate

        public static void rotate​(int[] array,
                                  int distance,
                                  int fromIndex,
                                  int toIndex)
        Performs a right rotation of array between fromIndex inclusive and toIndex exclusive. This is equivalent to Collections.rotate(Ints.asList(array).subList(fromIndex, toIndex), distance), but is considerably faster and avoids allocations and garbage collection.

        The provided "distance" may be negative, which will rotate left.

        Throws:
        java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if fromIndex < 0, toIndex > array.length, or toIndex > fromIndex
        Since:
        32.0.0
      • toArray

        public static int[] toArray​(java.util.Collection<? extends java.lang.Number> collection)
        Returns an array containing each value of collection, converted to a int value in the manner of Number.intValue().

        Elements are copied from the argument collection as if by collection.toArray(). Calling this method is as thread-safe as calling that method.

        Parameters:
        collection - a collection of Number instances
        Returns:
        an array containing the same values as collection, in the same order, converted to primitives
        Throws:
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if collection or any of its elements is null
        Since:
        1.0 (parameter was Collection<Integer> before 12.0)
      • asList

        public static java.util.List<java.lang.Integer> asList​(int... backingArray)
        Returns a fixed-size list backed by the specified array, similar to Arrays.asList(Object[]). The list supports List.set(int, Object), but any attempt to set a value to null will result in a NullPointerException.

        The returned list maintains the values, but not the identities, of Integer objects written to or read from it. For example, whether list.get(0) == list.get(0) is true for the returned list is unspecified.

        The returned list is serializable.

        Note: when possible, you should represent your data as an ImmutableIntArray instead, which has an asList view.

        Parameters:
        backingArray - the array to back the list
        Returns:
        a list view of the array
      • tryParse

        @CheckForNull
        public static java.lang.Integer tryParse​(java.lang.String string)
        Parses the specified string as a signed decimal integer value. The ASCII character '-' ('\u002D') is recognized as the minus sign.

        Unlike Integer.parseInt(String), this method returns null instead of throwing an exception if parsing fails. Additionally, this method only accepts ASCII digits, and returns null if non-ASCII digits are present in the string.

        Note that strings prefixed with ASCII '+' are rejected, even under JDK 7, despite the change to Integer.parseInt(String) for that version.

        Parameters:
        string - the string representation of an integer value
        Returns:
        the integer value represented by string, or null if string has a length of zero or cannot be parsed as an integer value
        Throws:
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if string is null
        Since:
        11.0
      • tryParse

                                                 int radix)
        Parses the specified string as a signed integer value using the specified radix. The ASCII character '-' ('\u002D') is recognized as the minus sign.

        Unlike Integer.parseInt(String, int), this method returns null instead of throwing an exception if parsing fails. Additionally, this method only accepts ASCII digits, and returns null if non-ASCII digits are present in the string.

        Note that strings prefixed with ASCII '+' are rejected, even under JDK 7, despite the change to Integer.parseInt(String, int) for that version.

        Parameters:
        string - the string representation of an integer value
        radix - the radix to use when parsing
        Returns:
        the integer value represented by string using radix, or null if string has a length of zero or cannot be parsed as an integer value
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if radix < Character.MIN_RADIX or radix > Character.MAX_RADIX
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if string is null
