### binarySearch

    public int binarySearch(Object key)

  Searches the receiver for the specified value using the binary search algorithm. The receiver must be sorted into ascending order according to the natural ordering of its elements (as by the sort method) prior to making this call. If it is not sorted, the results are undefined: in particular, the call may enter an infinite loop. If the receiver contains multiple elements equal to the specified object, there is no guarantee which instance will be found.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the value to be searched for.
  Returns:
    index of the search key, if it is contained in the receiver; otherwise, `(-(insertion point) - 1)`. The insertion point is defined as the the point at which the value would be inserted into the receiver: the index of the first element greater than the key, or `receiver.size()`, if all elements in the receiver 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.

    `Comparable`, `Arrays`

### binarySearchFromTo

    public int binarySearchFromTo(Object key,
                                  int from,
                                  int to)

  Searches the receiver for the specified value using the binary search algorithm. The receiver must be sorted into ascending order according to the natural ordering of its elements (as by the sort method) prior to making this call. If it is not sorted, the results are undefined: in particular, the call may enter an infinite loop. If the receiver contains multiple elements equal to the specified object, there is no guarantee which instance will be found.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the value to be searched for.
    `from` - the leftmost search position, inclusive.
    `to` - the rightmost search position, inclusive.
  Returns:
    index of the search key, if it is contained in the receiver; otherwise, `(-(insertion point) - 1)`. The insertion point is defined as the the point at which the value would be inserted into the receiver: the index of the first element greater than the key, or `receiver.size()`, if all elements in the receiver 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.

                                  int to,
                                  Comparator comparator)

  Searches the receiver for the specified value using the binary search algorithm. The receiver must be sorted into ascending order according to the specified comparator. All elements in the range must be mutually comparable by the specified comparator (that is, `c.compare(e1, e2)` must not throw a `ClassCastException` for any elements `e1` and `e2` in the range).

  If the receiver is not sorted, the results are undefined: in particular, the call may enter an infinite loop. If the receiver contains multiple elements equal to the specified object, there is no guarantee which instance will be found.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the value to be searched for.
    `from` - the leftmost search position, inclusive.
    `to` - the rightmost search position, inclusive.
    `comparator` - the comparator by which the receiver is sorted.
  Returns:
    index of the search key, if it is contained in the receiver; otherwise, `(-(insertion point) - 1)`. The insertion point is defined as the the point at which the value would be inserted into the receiver: the index of the first element greater than the key, or `receiver.size()`, if all elements in the receiver 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.
  Throws:
    `ClassCastException` - if the receiver contains elements that are not mutually comparable using the specified comparator.

### clone

    public Object clone()

  Returns a copy of the receiver such that the copy and the receiver share the same elements, but do not share the same array to index them; So modifying an object in the copy modifies the object in the receiver and vice versa; However, structurally modifying the copy (for example changing its size, setting other objects at indexes, etc.) does not affect the receiver and vice versa.

  Overrides:
    `clone` in class `PersistentObject`
  Returns:
    a copy of the receiver.

  Parameters:
    `testForEquality` - if true -> test for equality, otherwise for identity.

### copy

    public ObjectArrayList copy()

  Returns a copy of the receiver; call `clone()` and casts the result. Returns a copy such that the copy and the receiver share the same elements, but do not share the same array to index them; So modifying an object in the copy modifies the object in the receiver and vice versa; However, structurally modifying the copy (for example changing its size, setting other objects at indexes, etc.) does not affect the receiver and vice versa.

  Returns:
    a copy of the receiver.

### delete

    `element` - the element to be deleted.

### elements

    public Object[] elements()

  Returns the elements currently stored, including invalid elements between size and capacity, if any. WARNING: For efficiency reasons and to keep memory usage low, the array is not copied. So if subsequently you modify the returned array directly via the [] operator, be sure you know what you're doing.

  Returns:
    the elements currently stored.

### elements

    public ObjectArrayList elements(Object[] elements)

  Sets the receiver's elements to be the specified array (not a copy of it). The size and capacity of the list is the length of the array.

  Returns:
    the receiver itself.

### ensureCapacity

  Ensures that the receiver can hold at least the specified number of elements without needing to allocate new internal memory. If necessary, allocates new internal memory and increases the capacity of the receiver.

  Parameters:
    `minCapacity` - the desired minimum capacity.

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object otherObj)

  Compares the specified Object with the receiver for equality. Returns true if and only if the specified Object is also an ObjectArrayList, both lists have the same size, and all corresponding pairs of elements in the two lists are equal. In other words, two lists are defined to be equal if they contain the same elements in the same order. Two elements `e1` and `e2` are equal if `(e1==null ? e2==null : e1.equals(e2))`.)

  Parameters:
    `otherObj` - the Object to be compared for equality with the receiver.
  Returns:
    true if the specified Object is equal to the receiver.

### mergeSortFromTo

    public void mergeSortFromTo(int from,
                                int to)

  Sorts the specified range of the receiver into ascending order, according to the natural ordering of its elements. All elements in this range must implement the `Comparable` interface. Furthermore, all elements in this range must be mutually comparable (that is, `e1.compareTo(e2)` must not throw a `ClassCastException` for any elements `e1` and `e2` in the array).

  This sort is guaranteed to be stable: equal elements will not be reordered as a result of the sort.

  The sorting algorithm is a modified mergesort (in which the merge is omitted if the highest element in the low sublist is less than the lowest element in the high sublist). This algorithm offers guaranteed n*log(n) performance, and can approach linear performance on nearly sorted lists.

  You should never call this method unless you are sure that this particular sorting algorithm is the right one for your data set. It is generally better to call `sort()` or `sortFromTo(...)` instead, because those methods automatically choose the best sorting algorithm.

  Specified by:
    `mergeSortFromTo` in class `AbstractList`
  Parameters:
    `from` - the index of the first element (inclusive) to be sorted.
    `to` - the index of the last element (inclusive) to be sorted.
  Throws:
    `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - index is out of range (`size()>0 && (from<0 || from>to || to>=size())`).

### mergeSortFromTo

    public void mergeSortFromTo(int from,
                                int to,
                                Comparator c)

  Sorts the receiver according to the order induced by the specified comparator. All elements in the range must be mutually comparable by the specified comparator (that is, `c.compare(e1, e2)` must not throw a `ClassCastException` for any elements `e1` and `e2` in the range).

  This sort is guaranteed to be stable: equal elements will not be reordered as a result of the sort.

  The sorting algorithm is a modified mergesort (in which the merge is omitted if the highest element in the low sublist is less than the lowest element in the high sublist). This algorithm offers guaranteed n*log(n) performance, and can approach linear performance on nearly sorted lists.

    `from` - the index of the first element (inclusive) to be sorted.
    `to` - the index of the last element (inclusive) to be sorted.
    `c` - the comparator to determine the order of the receiver.
  Throws:

    a new list
  Throws:
    `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - index is out of range (`size()>0 && (from<0 || from>to || to>=size())`).

### quickSortFromTo

    public void quickSortFromTo(int from,
                                int to)

  Sorts the specified range of the receiver into ascending order, according to the natural ordering of its elements. All elements in this range must implement the `Comparable` interface. Furthermore, all elements in this range must be mutually comparable (that is, `e1.compareTo(e2)` must not throw a `ClassCastException` for any elements `e1` and `e2` in the array).

  The sorting algorithm is a tuned quicksort, adapted from Jon L. Bentley and M. 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.

  You should never call this method unless you are sure that this particular sorting algorithm is the right one for your data set. It is generally better to call `sort()` or `sortFromTo(...)` instead, because those methods automatically choose the best sorting algorithm.

  Specified by:
    `quickSortFromTo` in class `AbstractList`
  Parameters:
    `from` - the index of the first element (inclusive) to be sorted.
    `to` - the index of the last element (inclusive) to be sorted.
  Throws:
    `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - index is out of range (`size()>0 && (from<0 || from>to || to>=size())`).

### quickSortFromTo

    public void quickSortFromTo(int from,
                                int to,
                                Comparator c)

  Sorts the receiver according to the order induced by the specified comparator. All elements in the range must be mutually comparable by the specified comparator (that is, `c.compare(e1, e2)` must not throw a `ClassCastException` for any elements `e1` and `e2` in the range).

This algorithm offers n*log(n) performance on many data sets that cause other quicksorts to degrade to quadratic performance.

  Parameters:
    `from` - the index of the first element (inclusive) to be sorted.
    `to` - the index of the last element (inclusive) to be sorted.
    `c` - the comparator to determine the order of the receiver.
  Throws:
    `ClassCastException` - if the array contains elements that are not mutually comparable using the specified comparator.
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `fromIndex > toIndex`
    `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `fromIndex < 0` or `toIndex > a.length`
    `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - index is out of range (`size()>0 && (from<0 || from>to || to>=size())`).

### removeAll

    public boolean removeAll(ObjectArrayList other,
                             boolean testForEquality)

  Removes from the receiver all elements that are contained in the specified list. Tests for equality or identity as specified by `testForEquality`.

  Parameters:
    `other` - the other list.
    `testForEquality` - if `true` -> test for equality, otherwise for identity.
  Returns:
    `true` if the receiver changed as a result of the call.

### removeFromTo

    public void removeFromTo(int from,
                             int to)

  Removes from the receiver all elements whose index is between `from`, inclusive and `to`, inclusive. Shifts any succeeding elements to the left (reduces their index). This call shortens the list by `(to - from + 1)` elements.

  Specified by:
    `removeFromTo` in class `AbstractList`
  Parameters:
    `from` - index of first element to be removed.
    `to` - index of last element to be removed.
  Throws:
    `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - index is out of range (`size()>0 && (from<0 || from>to || to>=size())`).

### replaceFromToWithFrom

    public void replaceFromToWithFrom(int from,
                                      int to,
                                      ObjectArrayList other,
                                      int otherFrom)

  Replaces a number of elements in the receiver with the same number of elements of another list. Replaces elements in the receiver, between `from` (inclusive) and `to` (inclusive), with elements of `other`, starting from `otherFrom` (inclusive).

  Parameters:
    `from` - the position of the first element to be replaced in the receiver
    `to` - the position of the last element to be replaced in the receiver
    `other` - list holding elements to be copied into the receiver.
    `otherFrom` - position of first element within other list to be copied.

### replaceFromToWithFromTo

    public void replaceFromToWithFromTo(int from,
                                        int to,
                                        ObjectArrayList other,
                                        int otherFrom,
                                        int otherTo)

  Replaces the part between `from` (inclusive) and `to` (inclusive) with the other list's part between `otherFrom` and `otherTo`. Powerful (and tricky) method! Both parts need not be of the same size (part A can both be smaller or larger than part B). Parts may overlap. Receiver and other list may (but most not) be identical. If `from > to`, then inserts other part before `from`.

  Parameters:
    `from` - the first element of the receiver (inclusive)
    `to` - the last element of the receiver (inclusive)
    `other` - the other list (may be identical with receiver)
    `otherFrom` - the first element of the other list (inclusive)
    `otherTo` - the last element of the other list (inclusive)

    Examples:

         a=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
         b=[50, 60, 70, 80, 90]
         a.R(...)=a.replaceFromToWithFromTo(...)

         a.R(3,5,b,0,4)-->[0, 1, 2, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 6, 7]
         a.R(1,6,b,0,4)-->[0, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 7]
         a.R(0,6,b,0,4)-->[50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 7]
         a.R(3,5,b,1,2)-->[0, 1, 2, 60, 70, 6, 7]
         a.R(1,6,b,1,2)-->[0, 60, 70, 7]
         a.R(0,6,b,1,2)-->[60, 70, 7]
         a.R(5,3,b,0,4)-->[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 5, 6, 7]
         a.R(5,0,b,0,4)-->[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 5, 6, 7]
         a.R(5,3,b,1,2)-->[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 60, 70, 5, 6, 7]
         a.R(5,0,b,1,2)-->[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 60, 70, 5, 6, 7]

         Extreme cases:
         a.R(5,3,b,0,0)-->[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 50, 5, 6, 7]
         a.R(5,3,b,4,4)-->[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 90, 5, 6, 7]
         a.R(3,5,a,0,1)-->[0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 6, 7]
         a.R(3,5,a,3,5)-->[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
         a.R(3,5,a,4,4)-->[0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 7]
         a.R(5,3,a,0,4)-->[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
         a.R(0,-1,b,0,4)-->[50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
         a.R(0,-1,a,0,4)-->[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
         a.R(8,0,a,0,4)-->[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

### replaceFromWith

    public void replaceFromWith(int from,
                                Collection other)

  Replaces the part of the receiver starting at `from` (inclusive) with all the elements of the specified collection. Does not alter the size of the receiver. Replaces exactly `Math.max(0,Math.min(size()-from, other.size()))` elements.

  Specified by:
    `replaceFromWith` in class `AbstractList`
  Parameters:
    `from` - the index at which to copy the first element from the specified collection.
    `other` - Collection to replace part of the receiver
  Throws:
    `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - index is out of range (index < 0 || index >= size()).

### retainAll

    public boolean retainAll(ObjectArrayList other,
                             boolean testForEquality)

  Retains (keeps) only the elements in the receiver that are contained in the specified other list. In other words, removes from the receiver all of its elements that are not contained in the specified other list. Tests for equality or identity as specified by `testForEquality`.

  Parameters:
    `other` - the other list to test against.
    `testForEquality` - if `true` -> test for equality, otherwise for identity.
  Returns:
    `true` if the receiver changed as a result of the call.

### reverse

    public void reverse()

  Reverses the elements of the receiver. Last becomes first, second last becomes second first, and so on.

  Specified by:
    `reverse` in class `AbstractList`

### set

    public void set(int index,
                    Object element)

  Replaces the element at the specified position in the receiver with the specified element.

  Parameters:
    `index` - index of element to replace.
    `element` - element to be stored at the specified position.
  Throws:
    `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - index is out of range (index < 0 || index >= size()).

### setQuick

    public void setQuick(int index,
                         Object element)

  Replaces the element at the specified position in the receiver with the specified element; WARNING: Does not check preconditions. Provided with invalid parameters this method may access invalid indexes without throwing any exception! You should only use this method when you are absolutely sure that the index is within bounds. Precondition (unchecked): `index >= 0 && index < size()`.

  Parameters:
    `index` - index of element to replace.
    `element` - element to be stored at the specified position.

### shuffleFromTo

    public void shuffleFromTo(int from,
                              int to)

  Randomly permutes the part of the receiver between `from` (inclusive) and `to` (inclusive).

  Specified by:
    `shuffleFromTo` in class `AbstractList`
  Parameters:
    `from` - the index of the first element (inclusive) to be permuted.
    `to` - the index of the last element (inclusive) to be permuted.
  Throws:
    `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - index is out of range (`size()>0 && (from<0 || from>to || to>=size())`).

### size

    public int size()

  Returns the number of elements contained in the receiver.

  Specified by:
    `size` in class `AbstractCollection`

### times

    public ObjectArrayList times(int times)

  Returns a list which is a concatenation of `times` times the receiver.

  Parameters:
    `times` - the number of times the receiver shall be copied.

### toArray

    public Object[] toArray(Object[] array)

  Returns an array containing all of the elements in the receiver in the correct order. The runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the receiver fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of the receiver.

  If the receiver fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than the receiver), the element in the array immediately following the end of the receiver is set to null. This is useful in determining the length of the receiver only if the caller knows that the receiver does not contain any null elements.

  Parameters:
    `array` - the array into which the elements of the receiver are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose.
  Returns:
    an array containing the elements of the receiver.
  Throws:
    `ArrayStoreException` - the runtime type of `array` is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in the receiver.

### toList

    public ArrayList toList()

  Returns a `java.util.ArrayList` containing all the elements in the receiver.

  Specified by:
    `toList` in class `AbstractCollection`

### toString

    public String toString()

  Returns a string representation of the receiver, containing the String representation of each element.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `AbstractCollection`

### trimToSize

    public void trimToSize()

  Trims the capacity of the receiver to be the receiver's current size. Releases any superfluos internal memory. An application can use this operation to minimize the storage of the receiver.

  Overrides:
    `trimToSize` in class `AbstractList`
