Package it.unimi.dsi.fastutil.ints

Class IntBigArrays

java.lang.Object
it.unimi.dsi.fastutil.ints.IntBigArrays
public final class IntBigArrays extends Object
A class providing static methods and objects that do useful things with big arrays.

Note that BinIO and TextIO contain several methods that make it possible to load and save big arrays of primitive types as sequences of elements in DataInput format (i.e., not as objects) or as sequences of lines of text.

Parallel operations

Some algorithms provide a parallel version that will by default use the common pool, but this can be overridden by calling the function in a task already in the ForkJoinPool that the operation should run in. For example, something along the lines of "poolToParallelSortIn.invoke(() -> parallelQuickSort(arrayToSort))" will run the parallel sort in poolToParallelSortIn instead of the default pool.

    • binarySearch

      public static long binarySearch(int[][] a, long from, long to, int key)
      Searches a range of the specified big array for the specified value using the binary search algorithm. The range must be sorted prior to making this call. If it is not sorted, the results are undefined. If the range contains multiple elements with the specified value, there is no guarantee which one will be found.
      Parameters:
      a - the big array to be searched.
      from - the index of the first element (inclusive) to be searched.
      to - the index of the last element (exclusive) to be searched.
      key - the value to be searched for.
      Returns:
      index of the search key, if it is contained in the big array; otherwise, (-(insertion point) - 1). The insertion point is defined as the the point at which the value would be inserted into the big array: the index of the first element greater than the key, or the length of the big array, if all elements in the big array are less than the specified key. Note that this guarantees that the return value will be >= 0 if and only if the key is found.
