      • hashCode

        public static int hashCode​(float value)
        Returns a hash code for value; equal to the result of invoking ((Float) value).hashCode().
        Parameters:
        value - a primitive float value
        Returns:

      • compare

        public static int compare​(float a,
                          float b)
        Compares the two specified float values using Float.compare(float, float). You may prefer to invoke that method directly; this method exists only for consistency with the other utilities in this package.

        Note: this method simply delegates to the JDK method Float.compare(float, float). It is provided for consistency with the other primitive types, whose compare methods were not added to the JDK until JDK 7.

        Parameters:
        a - the first float to compare
        b - the second float to compare
        Returns:
        the result of invoking Float.compare(float, float)

      • isFinite

        public static boolean isFinite​(float value)
        Returns true if value represents a real number. This is equivalent to, but not necessarily implemented as, !(Float.isInfinite(value) || Float.isNaN(value)).
        Since:
        10.0

      • contains

        public static boolean contains​(float[] array,
                               float target)
        Returns true if target is present as an element anywhere in array. Note that this always returns false when target is NaN.
        Parameters:
        array - an array of float values, possibly empty
        target - a primitive float value
        Returns:
        true if array[i] == target for some value of i

      • indexOf

        public static int indexOf​(float[] array,
                          float target)
        Returns the index of the first appearance of the value target in array. Note that this always returns -1 when target is NaN.
        Parameters:
        array - an array of float values, possibly empty
        target - a primitive float value
        Returns:
        the least index i for which array[i] == target, or -1 if no such index exists.

      • indexOf

        public static int indexOf​(float[] array,
                          float[] target)
        Returns the start position of the first occurrence of the specified target within array, or -1 if there is no such occurrence.

        More formally, returns the lowest index i such that java.util.Arrays.copyOfRange(array, i, i + target.length) contains exactly the same elements as target.

        Note that this always returns -1 when target contains NaN.

        Parameters:
        array - the array to search for the sequence target
        target - the array to search for as a sub-sequence of array

      • lastIndexOf

        public static int lastIndexOf​(float[] array,
                              float target)
        Returns the index of the last appearance of the value target in array. Note that this always returns -1 when target is NaN.
        Parameters:
        array - an array of float values, possibly empty
        target - a primitive float value
        Returns:
        the greatest index i for which array[i] == target, or -1 if no such index exists.

      • min

        public static float min​(float... array)
        Returns the least value present in array, using the same rules of comparison as Math.min(float, float).
        Parameters:
        array - a nonempty array of float values
        Returns:
        the value present in array that is less than or equal to every other value in the array
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if array is empty

      • max

        public static float max​(float... array)
        Returns the greatest value present in array, using the same rules of comparison as Math.min(float, float).
        Parameters:
        array - a nonempty array of float values
        Returns:
        the value present in array that is greater than or equal to every other value in the array
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if array is empty

      • concat

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

      • stringConverter

        @Beta
public static Converter<java.lang.String,​java.lang.Float> stringConverter()
        Returns a serializable converter object that converts between strings and floats using Float.valueOf(java.lang.String) and Float.toString().
        Since:
        16.0

      • ensureCapacity

        public static float[] ensureCapacity​(float[] 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,
                                    float... array)
        Returns a string containing the supplied float values, converted to strings as specified by Float.toString(float), and separated by separator. For example, join("-", 1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f) returns the string "1.0-2.0-3.0".

        Note that Float.toString(float) formats float differently in GWT. In the previous example, it 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 float values, possibly empty

      • lexicographicalComparator

        public static java.util.Comparator<float[]> lexicographicalComparator()
        Returns a comparator that compares two float arrays lexicographically. That is, it compares, using compare(float, float)), 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, [] < [1.0f] < [1.0f, 2.0f] < [2.0f].

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

        Since:
        2.0

      • toArray

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

        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<Float> before 12.0)

      • asList

        public static java.util.List<java.lang.Float> asList​(float... 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 Float 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 may have unexpected behavior if it contains NaN, or if NaN is used as a parameter to any of its methods.

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

      • tryParse

        @GwtIncompatible("regular expressions")
@Nullable
@Beta
public static java.lang.Float tryParse​(java.lang.String string)
        Parses the specified string as a single-precision floating point value. The ASCII character '-' ('\u002D') is recognized as the minus sign.

        Unlike Float.parseFloat(String), this method returns null instead of throwing an exception if parsing fails. Valid inputs are exactly those accepted by Float.valueOf(String), except that leading and trailing whitespace is not permitted.

        This implementation is likely to be faster than Float.parseFloat if many failures are expected.

        Parameters:
        string - the string representation of a float value
        Returns:
        the floating point value represented by string, or null if string has a length of zero or cannot be parsed as a float value
        Since:
        14.0
