Class ArrayLogic

    java.lang.Object
      javacardx.framework.util.ArrayLogic

    @TransactionType(value=SUPPORTS)
    public final class ArrayLogic

extends Object

The `ArrayLogic` class contains common utility functions for manipulating arrays of primitive components - byte, short or int. Some of the methods may be implemented as native functions for performance reasons. All the methods in `ArrayLogic` class are static methods.

Some methods of `ArrayLogic`, namely `arrayCopyRepack()`, `arrayCopyRepackNonAtomic()` and `arrayFillGenericNonAtomic()`, refer to the persistence of array objects. The term persistent means that arrays and their values persist from one CAD session to the next, indefinitely. The `JCSystem` class is used to control the persistence and transience of objects.

Since:
  2.2.2

### arrayCopyRepack

    @TransactionType(value=REQUIRED)
    public static final short arrayCopyRepack(Object src,
                                                                           short srcOff,
                                                                           short srcLen,
                                                                           Object dest,
                                                                           short destOff)
                                       throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException,
                                              NullPointerException,
                                              TransactionException,
                                              UtilException

  Copies data from the specified source array, beginning at the specified position, to the specified position of the destination array. Note that this method may be used to copy from an array of any primitive component - byte, short or int to another (or same) array of any primitive component - byte, short or int. If the source array primitive component size is smaller than that of the destination array, a packing conversion is performed; if the source array primitive component size is larger than that of the destination array, an unpacking operation is performed; if the source and destination arrays are of the same component type, simple copy without any repacking is performed.

  Note:

  - If the source array is a byte array and the destination is a short array, then pairs of source array bytes are concatenated (high order byte component first) to form short components before being written to the destination short array. If the `srcLen` parameter is not a multiple of 2, an `UtilException` exception is thrown.
  - If the source array is a byte array and the destination is an int array, 4 bytes of the source array are concatenated at a time (high order byte component first) to form int components before being written to the destination int array. If the `srcLen` parameter is not a multiple of 4, an `UtilException` exception is thrown.
  - If the source array is a short array and the destination is an int array, then pairs of source array bytes are concatenated (high order short component first) to form int components before being written to the destination int array. If the `srcLen` parameter is not a multiple of 2, an `UtilException` exception is thrown.
  - If the source array is a short array and the destination is a byte array, then each short component is split into 2 bytes (high order byte component first) before being written sequentially to the destination byte array.
  - If the source array is a int array and the destination is a short array, then each int component is split into 2 shorts (high order short component first) before being written sequentially to the destination short array.
  - If the source array is a int array and the destination is a byte array, then each int component is split into 4 bytes (high order byte component first) before being written sequentially to the destination byte array.
  - If `srcOff` or `destOff` or `srcLen` parameter is negative an `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown.
  - If `srcOff+srcLen` is greater than `src.length`, the length of the `src` array a `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown and no copy is performed.
  - If offset into the `dest` array would become greater than `dest.length`, the length of the `dest` array during the copy operation `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown and no copy is performed.
  - If `src` or `dest` parameter is `null`
  a `NullPointerException` exception is thrown.
  - If the `src` and `dest` arguments refer to the same array object, then the copying is performed as if the components at positions `srcOff` through `srcOff+srcLen-1` were first copied to a temporary array with srcLen components and then the contents of the temporary array were copied into positions `destOff` through `destOff+srcLen-1` of the destination array.
  - If the destination array is persistent, the entire copy is performed atomically.
  - The copy operation is subject to atomic commit capacity limitations. If the commit capacity is exceeded, no copy is performed and a `TransactionException` exception is thrown.

  Parameters:
    `src` - source array object
    `srcOff` - offset within source array to start copy from
    `srcLen` - number of source component values to be copied from the source array
    `dest` - destination array object
    `destOff` - offset within destination array to start copy into
  Returns:
    a value of one more than the offset within the `dest` array where the last copy was performed
  Throws:
    `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - if copying would cause access of data outside array bounds
    `NullPointerException` - if either `src` or `dest` is `null`
    `TransactionException` - if copying would cause the commit capacity to be exceeded
    `UtilException` - with the following reason codes:
    - `UtilException.ILLEGAL_VALUE` if `src` or `dest` is not an array of primitive components, or if the `srcLen` parameter is incorrect

### arrayCopyRepackNonAtomic

    @TransactionType(value=NOT_SUPPORTED)
    public static final short arrayCopyRepackNonAtomic(Object src,
                                                                                         short srcOff,
                                                                                         short srcLen,
                                                                                         Object dest,
                                                                                         short destOff)
                                                throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException,
                                                       NullPointerException,
                                                       UtilException

  Non-atomically copies data from the specified source array, beginning at the specified position, to the specified position of the destination array. Note that this method may be used to copy from an array of any primitive component - byte, short or int to another (or same) array of any primitive component - byte, short or int. If the source array primitive component size is smaller than that of the destination array, a packing conversion is performed; if the source array primitive component size is larger than that of the destination array, an unpacking operation is performed; if the source and destination arrays are of the same component type, simple copy without any repacking is performed.

  This method does not use the transaction facility during the copy operation even if a transaction is in progress. Thus, this method is suitable for use only when the contents of the destination array can be left in a partially modified state in the event of a power loss in the middle of the copy operation.

  Note:

  - If the source array is a byte array and the destination is a short array, then pairs of source array bytes are concatenated (high order byte component first) to form short components before being written to the destination short array. If the `srcLen` parameter is not a multiple of 2, an `UtilException` exception is thrown.
  - If the source array is a byte array and the destination is an int array, 4 bytes of the source array are concatenated at a time (high order byte component first) to form int components before being written to the destination int array. If the `srcLen` parameter is not a multiple of 4, an `UtilException` exception is thrown.
  - If the source array is a short array and the destination is an int array, then pairs of source array bytes are concatenated (high order short component first) to form int components before being written to the destination int array. If the `srcLen` parameter is not a multiple of 2, an `UtilException` exception is thrown.
  - If the source array is a short array and the destination is a byte array, then each short component is split into 2 bytes (high order byte component first) before being written sequentially to the destination byte array.
  - If the source array is a int array and the destination is a short array, then each int component is split into 2 shorts (high order short component first) before being written sequentially to the destination short array.
  - If the source array is a int array and the destination is a byte array, then each int component is split into 4 bytes (high order byte component first) before being written sequentially to the destination byte array.
  - If `srcOff` or `destOff` or `srcLen` parameter is negative an `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown.
  - If `srcOff+srcLen` is greater than `src.length`, the length of the `src` array a `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown and no copy is performed.
  - If offset into the `dest` array would become greater than `dest.length`, the length of the `dest` array during the copy operation `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown and no copy is performed.
  - If `src` or `dest` parameter is `null`
  a `NullPointerException` exception is thrown.
  - If the `src` and `dest` arguments refer to the same array object, then the copying is performed as if the components at positions `srcOff` through `srcOff+srcLen-1` were first copied to a temporary array with srcLen components and then the contents of the temporary array were copied into positions `destOff` through `destOff+srcLen-1` of the destination array.

  Parameters:
    `src` - source array object
    `srcOff` - offset within source array to start copy from
    `srcLen` - number of source component values to be copied from the source array
    `dest` - destination array object
    `destOff` - offset within destination array to start copy into
  Returns:
    a value of one more than the offset within the `dest` array where the last copy was performed
  Throws:
    `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - if copying would cause access of data outside array bounds
    `NullPointerException` - if either `src` or `dest` is `null`
    `UtilException` - with the following reason codes:
    - `UtilException.ILLEGAL_VALUE` if `src` or `dest` is not an array of primitive components, or if the `srcLen` parameter is incorrect

### arrayFillGenericNonAtomic

    @TransactionType(value=NOT_SUPPORTED)
    public static final short arrayFillGenericNonAtomic(Object theArray,
                                                                                          short off,
                                                                                          short len,
                                                                                          Object valArray,
                                                                                          short valOff)
                                                 throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException,
                                                        NullPointerException,
                                                        UtilException

  Fills the array of primitive components(non-atomically) beginning at the specified position, for the specified length with the specified value. Note that this method may be used to fill an array of any primitive component type - byte, short or int. The value used for the fill operation is itself specified using an array (`valArray`) of the same primitive component type at offset `valOff`.

  This method does not use the transaction facility during the fill operation even if a transaction is in progress. Thus, this method is suitable for use only when the contents of the array can be left in a partially filled state in the event of a power loss in the middle of the fill operation.

  The following code snippet shows how this method is typically used:

         public short[] myArray = new short[10];
        ..
        // Fill the entire array myArray of 10 short components with the value 0x1234
        myArray[0] = (short)0x1234;
        ArrayLogic.arrayFillGenericNonAtomic(myArray, (short)0, (short)10, myArray, (short)0);
        ..

  Note:

  - If `off` or `len` or `valOff` parameter is negative an `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown.
  - If `off+len` is greater than `theArray.length`, the length of the `theArray` array an `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown.
  - If `valOff` is equal to or greater than `valArray.length`, the length of the `valArray` array an `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown.
  - If `theArray` or `valArray` parameter is `null` a `NullPointerException` exception is thrown.
  - If power is lost during the copy operation and the array is persistent, a partially changed array could result.
  - The `len` parameter is not constrained by the atomic commit capacity limitations.

  Parameters:
    `theArray` - the array object
    `off` - offset within array to start filling the specified value
    `len` - the number of component values to be filled
    `valArray` - the array object containing the fill value
    `valOff` - the offset within the `valArray` array containing the fill value
  Returns:
    `off+len`
  Throws:
    `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - if the fill operation would cause access of data outside array bounds
    `NullPointerException` - if theArray or valArray is `null`
    `UtilException` - with the following reason codes:
    - `UtilException.ILLEGAL_VALUE` if `theArray` or `valArray` is not an array of primitive components
    - `UtilException.TYPE_MISMATCHED` if the `valArray` parameter is not an array of the same primitive component type as the `theArray`.

### arrayCompareGeneric

    public static final byte arrayCompareGeneric(Object src,
                                                 short srcOff,
                                                 Object dest,
                                                 short destOff,
                                                 short length)
                                          throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException,
                                                 NullPointerException,
                                                 UtilException

  Compares an array from the specified source array, beginning at the specified position, with the specified position of the destination array from left to right. Note that this method may be used to compare any two arrays of the same primitive component type - byte, short or int. Returns the ternary result of the comparison : less than(-1), equal(0) or greater than(1).

  Note:

  - If `srcOff` or `destOff` or `length` parameter is negative an `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown.
  - If `srcOff+length` is greater than `src.length`, the length of the `src` array a `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown.
  - If `destOff+length` is greater than `dest.length`, the length of the `dest` array an `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown.
  - If `src` or `dest` parameter is `null` a `NullPointerException` exception is thrown.

  Parameters:
    `src` - source array object
    `srcOff` - offset within source array to start compare
    `dest` - destination array object
    `destOff` - offset within destination array to start compare
    `length` - length to be compared
  Returns:
    the result of the comparison as follows:
    - `0` if identical
    - `-1` if the first miscomparing primitive component in source array is less than that in destination array
    - `1` if the first miscomparing primitive component in source array is greater than that in destination array
  Throws:
    `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - if comparing all the components would cause access of data outside array bounds
    `NullPointerException` - if either `src` or `dest` is `null`
    `UtilException` - with the following reason codes:
    - `UtilException.ILLEGAL_VALUE` if `src` or `dest` is not an array of primitive components, or if the `length` parameter is incorrect
    - `UtilException.TYPE_MISMATCHED` if the `dest` parameter is not an array of the same primitive component type.

### arrayFindGeneric

    public static final short arrayFindGeneric(Object theArray,
                                               short off,
                                               byte[] valArray,
                                               short valOff)
                                        throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException,
                                               NullPointerException,
                                               UtilException

  Finds the first occurrence of the specified value within the specified array. The search begins at the specified position and proceeds until the end of the array. Note that this method may be used to search an array of any primitive component type - byte, short or int. The value used in the search operation is itself specified by the appropriate number of consecutive bytes at offset `valOff` in the byte array parameter `valArray`.

  Note:

  - If `off` or `valOff` parameter is negative an `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown.
  - If `off` is greater than `theArray.length`, the length of the `theArray` array an `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown.
  - If `theArray` or `valArray` parameter is `null` a `NullPointerException` exception is thrown.
  - If the specified array is an array of byte components, then the byte at `valOff` in the `valArray` is used as the search value. If `valOff+1` is greater than `valArray.length`, the length of the `valArray` array an `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown.
  - If the specified array is an array of short components, then 2 consecutive bytes beginning at `valOff` in the `valArray` are concatenated (high order byte component first) to form the search value. If `valOff+2` is greater than `valArray.length`, the length of the `valArray` array an `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown.
  - If the specified array is an array of int components, then 4 consecutive bytes beginning at `valOff` in the `valArray` are concatenated (high order byte component first) to form the search value. If `valOff+4` is greater than `valArray.length`, the length of the `valArray` array an `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown.

  Parameters:
    `theArray` - the array object to search
    `off` - offset within the array to start searching for the specified value
    `valArray` - the array object containing the search value
    `valOff` - the offset within the `valArray` array containing the search value
  Returns:
    the offset into the specified array where the first occurrence of specified value was found or -1 if the specified value does not occur in the specified portion of the array
  Throws:
    `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - if the search operation would cause access of data outside array bounds
    `NullPointerException` - if `theArray` is `null`
    `UtilException` - with the following reason code:
    - `UtilException.ILLEGAL_VALUE` if `theArray` is not an array of primitive components.
