/**
 * 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 {@code 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 {@code sort(Object[])} does not have to be * a MergeSort, but it does have to be stable.) * *
