org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ArrayGroovyMethods

public class ArrayGroovyMethods extends DefaultGroovyMethodsSupport

Defines new groovy methods which appear on arrays inside the Groovy environment. Static methods are used with the first parameter being the destination class, i.e. public static int[] each(int[] self, Closure closure) provides an each({i -> }) method for int[].

NOTE: While this class contains many 'public' static methods, it is primarily regarded as an internal class (its internal package name suggests this also). We value backwards compatibility of these methods when used within Groovy but value less backwards compatibility at the Java method call level. I.e. future versions of Groovy may remove or move a method call in this file but would normally aim to keep the method available from within Groovy.

  public static <T> T[] sort(T[] self, boolean mutate, Comparator<? super T> comparator)
  Modifies this array so that its elements are in sorted order as determined by the given comparator. If mutate is true, the array is sorted in place and returned. Otherwise, a new sorted array is returned and the original array remains unchanged.
  def orig = ["hello","hi","Hey"] as String[] def sorted = orig.sort(false, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER) assert orig == ["hello","hi","Hey"] as String[] assert sorted == ["hello","Hey","hi"] as String[] orig.sort(true, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER) assert orig == ["hello","Hey","hi"] as String[]
  Parameters:
  
  self - the array containing elements to be sorted
  
  mutate - false will always cause a new array to be created, true will mutate arrays in place

  public static <T> T[] sort(T[] self, @ClosureParams(value=FromString.class,options={"T","T,T"}) Closure<?> closure)
  
  Sorts the elements from this array into a newly created array using the Closure to determine the correct ordering.
  If the closure has two parameters it is used like a traditional Comparator. I.e. it should compare its two parameters for order, returning a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer when the first parameter is less than, equal to, or greater than the second respectively. Otherwise, the Closure is assumed to take a single parameter and return a Comparable (typically an Integer) which is then used for further comparison.
  
  Parameters:
  
  self - the array containing the elements to be sorted
  
  closure - a Closure used to determine the correct ordering
  
  Returns:
  
  the sorted array
