java.lang.Objectjava.util.Arrays
public class Arrays
This class contains various methods for manipulating arrays (such as sorting and searching). This class also contains a static factory that allows arrays to be viewed as lists.
The methods in this class all throw a NullPointerException if the specified array reference is null, except where noted.
The documentation for the methods contained in this class includes briefs description of the implementations. Such descriptions should be regarded as implementation notes, rather than parts of the specification. Implementors should feel free to substitute other algorithms, so long as the specification itself is adhered to. (For example, the algorithm used by sort(Object[]) does not have to be a mergesort, but it does have to be stable.)
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

Douglas McIlroy's "Engineering a Sort Function", Software-Practice and Experience, Vol. 23(11) P. 1249-1265 (November 1993). This algorithm offers n*log(n) performance on many data sets that cause other quicksorts to degrade to quadratic performance.

The <

all floating-point values; although they are distinct numbers
-0.0 == 0.0
is true
and a NaN value
compares neither less than, greater than, nor equal to any
floating-point value, even itself. To allow the sort to
proceed, instead of using the <
relation to
determine ascending numerical order, this method uses the total
order imposed by Double.compareTo(java.lang.Double)
. This ordering
differs from the <
relation in that
-0.0
is treated as less than 0.0
and
NaN is considered greater than any other floating-point value.
For the purposes of sorting, all NaN values are considered
equivalent and equal.

If a is null, this method returns 0.

public static int hashCode(Object[] a)
For any two arrays a and b such that Arrays.equals(a, b), it is also the case that Arrays.hashCode(a) == Arrays.hashCode(b).

For any two arrays a and b such that Arrays.deepEquals(a, b), it is also the case that Arrays.deepHashCode(a) == Arrays.deepHashCode(b).
The computation of the value returned by this method is similar to
that of the value returned by List.hashCode()
on a list
containing the same elements as a in the same order, with one
difference: If an element e of a is itself an array,
its hash code is computed not by calling e.hashCode(), but as
by calling the appropriate overloading of Arrays.hashCode(e)
if e is an array of a primitive type, or as by calling
Arrays.deepHashCode(e) recursively if e is an array
of a reference type. If a is null, this method
returns 0.

Object.toString()
method inherited from
Object, which describes their identities rather than
their contents.
The value returned by this method is equal to the value that would be returned by Arrays.asList(a).toString(), unless a is null, in which case "null" is returned.

deepToString(Object[])
public static String deepToString(Object[] a)
The string representation consists of a list of the array's elements, enclosed in square brackets ("[]"). Adjacent elements are separated by the characters ", " (a comma followed by a space). Elements are converted to strings as by String.valueOf(Object), unless they are themselves arrays.
If an element e is an array of a primitive type, it is converted to a string as by invoking the appropriate overloading of Arrays.toString(e). If an element e is an array of a reference type, it is converted to a string as by invoking this method recursively.
To avoid infinite recursion, if the specified array contains itself as an element, or contains an indirect reference to itself through one or more levels of arrays, the self-reference is converted to the string "[...]". For example, an array containing only a reference to itself would be rendered as "[[...]]".
This method returns "null" if the specified array is null.
