    • hashCode

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

      Java 8 users: use Float#hashCode(float) instead.

      Parameters:
      value - a primitive float value
      Returns:
      a hash code for the value

    • 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. 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)).

      Java 8 users: use Float#isFinite(float) instead.

      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.

      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 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:
      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#max(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:
      IllegalArgumentException - if array is empty

    • constrainToRange

      public static float constrainToRange(float value, float min, float max)
      Returns the value nearest to value which is within the closed range [min..max].

      If value is within the range [min..max], value is returned unchanged. If value is less than min, min is returned, and if value is greater than max, max is returned.

      Parameters:
      value - the float value to constrain
      min - the lower bound (inclusive) of the range to constrain value to
      max - the upper bound (inclusive) of the range to constrain value to
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if min > max
      Since:
      21.0

    • 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

      public static dev.mccue.guava.base.Converter<String,Float> stringConverter()
      Returns a serializable converter object that converts between strings and floats using Float#valueOf 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:
      IllegalArgumentException - if minLength or padding is negative

    • join

      public static String join(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 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

    • sortDescending

      public static void sortDescending(float[] array)
      Sorts the elements of array in descending order.

      Note that this method uses the total order imposed by Float#compare, which treats all NaN values as equal and 0.0 as greater than -0.0.

      Since:
      23.1

    • sortDescending

      public static void sortDescending(float[] array, int fromIndex, int toIndex)
      Sorts the elements of array between fromIndex inclusive and toIndex exclusive in descending order.

      Note that this method uses the total order imposed by Float#compare, which treats all NaN values as equal and 0.0 as greater than -0.0.

      Since:
      23.1

    • reverse

      public static void reverse(float[] array)
      Reverses the elements of array. This is equivalent to Collections.reverse(Floats.asList(array)), but is likely to be more efficient.
      Since:
      23.1

    • reverse

      public static void reverse(float[] array, int fromIndex, int toIndex)
      Reverses the elements of array between fromIndex inclusive and toIndex exclusive. This is equivalent to Collections.reverse(Floats.asList(array).subList(fromIndex, toIndex)), but is likely to be more efficient.
      Throws:
      IndexOutOfBoundsException - if fromIndex < 0, toIndex > array.length, or toIndex > fromIndex
      Since:
      23.1

    • rotate

      public static void rotate(float[] array, int distance)
      Performs a right rotation of array of "distance" places, so that the first element is moved to index "distance", and the element at index i ends up at index (distance + i) mod array.length. This is equivalent to Collections.rotate(Floats.asList(array), distance), but is considerably faster and avoids allocation and garbage collection.

      The provided "distance" may be negative, which will rotate left.

      Since:
      32.0.0

    • rotate

      public static void rotate(float[] array, int distance, int fromIndex, int toIndex)
      Performs a right rotation of array between fromIndex inclusive and toIndex exclusive. This is equivalent to Collections.rotate(Floats.asList(array).subList(fromIndex, toIndex), distance), but is considerably faster and avoids allocations and garbage collection.

      The provided "distance" may be negative, which will rotate left.

      Throws:
      IndexOutOfBoundsException - if fromIndex < 0, toIndex > array.length, or toIndex > fromIndex
      Since:
      32.0.0

    • toArray

      public static float[] toArray(Collection<? extends 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:
      NullPointerException - if collection or any of its elements is null
      Since:
      1.0 (parameter was Collection<Float> before 12.0)

    • asList

      public static List<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.

      The returned list is serializable.

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

    • tryParse

      @CheckForNull public static Float tryParse(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
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if string is null
      Since:
      14.0
