Operations on arrays, primitive arrays (like int[]
) and
* primitive wrapper arrays (like Integer[]
).
This class tries to handle null
input gracefully.
* An exception will not be thrown for a null
* array input. However, an Object array that contains a null
* element may throw an exception. Each method documents its behaviour.
Inserts the specified element at the specified position in the array. * Shifts the element currently at that position (if any) and any subsequent * elements to the right (adds one to their indices).
* *This method returns a new array with the same elements of the input * array plus the given element on the specified position. The component * type of the returned array is always the same as that of the input * array.
* *If the input array is null
, a new one element array is returned
* whose component type is the same as the element.
* ArrayUtils.add(null, 0, null) = [null] * ArrayUtils.add(null, 0, "a") = ["a"] * ArrayUtils.add(["a"], 1, null) = ["a", null] * ArrayUtils.add(["a"], 1, "b") = ["a", "b"] * ArrayUtils.add(["a", "b"], 3, "c") = ["a", "b", "c"] ** * @param array the array to add the element to, may be
null
* @param index the position of the new object
* @param element the object to add
* @return A new array containing the existing elements and the new element
* @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out of range
* (index < 0 || index > array.length).
