- Methods Detail
  - public boolean any(Closure predicate)
    
    Iterates over the contents of a float Array, and checks whether a predicate is valid for at least one element.
```
float[] array = [0.0f, 1.0f, 2.0f]
assert array.any{ it > 1.5f }
assert !array.any{ it > 2.5f }
```
    Parameters:
    
    predicate - the closure predicate used for matching
    
    Returns:
    
    true if any iteration for the floats matches the closure predicate
    
    Since:
    
    5.0.0
  - public boolean asBoolean()
    
    Coerces a float array to a boolean value. A float array is false if the array is of length 0, and true otherwise.
    
    Returns:
    
    the array's boolean value
    
    Since:
    
    1.7.4
  - public double average()

    Since:
    
    3.0.0
  - public List chop(int chopSizes)
    
    Chops the float array into pieces, returning lists with sizes corresponding to the supplied chop sizes. If the array isn't large enough, truncated (possibly empty) pieces are returned. Using a chop size of -1 will cause that piece to contain all remaining items from the array.
```
float[] array = [0, 1, 2]
assert array.chop(1, 2) == [[0], [1, 2]]
```
    Parameters:
    
    chopSizes - the sizes for the returned pieces
    
    Returns:
    
    a list of lists chopping the original array elements into pieces determined by chopSizes
