# Array

#### object Array extends FallbackArrayBuilding with Serializable

Utility methods for operating on arrays. For example:

     val a = Array(1, 2)
     val b = Array.ofDim[Int](2)
     val c = Array.concat(a, b)

where the array objects `a`, `b` and `c` have respectively the values `Array(1, 2)`, `Array(0, 0)` and `Array(1, 2, 0, 0)`.

3. #### final def ##(): Int

   Equivalent to `x.hashCode` except for boxed numeric types and `null`.

   Equivalent to `x.hashCode` except for boxed numeric types and `null`. For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent with value equality: if two value type instances compare as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each of them. For `null` returns a hashcode where `null.hashCode` throws a `NullPointerException`.

   returns

     a hash value consistent with ==

15. #### def apply[T](xs: T*)(implicit arg0: ClassManifest[T]): Array[T]

    Creates an array with given elements.

    Creates an array with given elements.

    xs

      the elements to put in the array

    returns

      an array containing all elements from xs.

16. #### final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

    Cast the receiver object to be of type `T0`.

    Cast the receiver object to be of type `T0`.

    Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression `1.asInstanceOf[String]` will throw a `ClassCastException` at runtime, while the expression `List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]]` will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

    returns

      the receiver object.

    Exceptions thrown

18. #### def clone(): AnyRef

    Concatenates all arrays into a single array.

    xss

      the given arrays

    returns

      the array created from concatenating `xss`

20. #### def copy(src: AnyRef, srcPos: Int, dest: AnyRef, destPos: Int, length: Int): Unit

    Copy one array to another.

    Copy one array to another. Equivalent to Java's `System.arraycopy(src, srcPos, dest, destPos, length)`, except that this also works for polymorphic and boxed arrays.

    Note that the passed-in `dest` array will be modified by this call.

    src

      the source array.

    srcPos

      starting position in the source array.

    dest

      destination array.

    destPos

      starting position in the destination array.

    length

      the number of array elements to be copied.

      `java.lang.System#arraycopy`

21. #### def empty[T](implicit arg0: ClassManifest[T]): Array[T]

    Returns an array of length 0

22. #### final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

    Tests whether the argument (`arg0`) is a reference to the receiver object (`this`).

    Tests whether the argument (`arg0`) is a reference to the receiver object (`this`).

    The `eq` method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of `AnyRef`, and has three additional properties:

    - It is consistent: for any non-null instances `x` and `y` of type `AnyRef`, multiple invocations of `x.eq(y)` consistently returns `true` or consistently returns `false`.
    - For any non-null instance `x` of type `AnyRef`, `x.eq(null)` and `null.eq(x)` returns `false`.
    - `null.eq(null)` returns `true`.

    When overriding the `equals` or `hashCode` methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (`o1 eq o2`), they should be equal to each other (`o1 == o2`) and they should hash to the same value (`o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode`).

    returns

      `true` if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; `false` otherwise.

23. #### def equals(arg0: Any): Boolean

    The equality method for reference types.

    The equality method for reference types. Default implementation delegates to `eq`.

    See also `equals` in Any.

    returns

      `true` if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; `false` otherwise.

24. #### implicit def fallbackCanBuildFrom[T](implicit m: DummyImplicit): CanBuildFrom[Array[_], T, ArraySeq[T]]

    A builder factory that generates a generic array.

    A builder factory that generates a generic array. Called instead of `Array.newBuilder` if the element type of an array does not have a class manifest.

We make sure that implicit search is always successful.
