[jira] [Updated] (LANG-536) Add isSorted() to ArrayUtils
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-536?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Henri Yandell updated LANG-536:
-------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 3.0.2)
3.0.3
> Add isSorted() to ArrayUtils
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: LANG-536
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-536
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: lang.*
> Reporter: Sergei Ivanov
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.0.3
>
>
> In my unit tests I often need to verify that an array is correctly sorted.
> In order to achieve this, I've got two helper methods as follows.
> Is it possible to integrate these methods into ArrayUtils?
> {code}
> /**
> * Checks that the specified array of objects is in an ascending order
> * according to the specified comparator. All elements in the array must be
> * <i>mutually comparable</i> by the specified comparator (that is,
> * <tt>c.compare(e1, e2)</tt> must not throw a <tt>ClassCastException</tt>
> * for any elements <tt>e1</tt> and <tt>e2</tt> in the array).
> *
> * @param a the array to be checked.
> * @param c the comparator to determine the order of the array. A
> * <tt>null</tt> value indicates that the elements'
> * {@linkplain Comparable natural ordering} should be used.
> * @return {@code true}, if the array is sorted; {@code false}, otherwise.
> * @throws ClassCastException if the array contains elements that are
> * not <i>mutually comparable</i> using the specified comparator.
> */
> public static <T> boolean isSorted(final T[] a, final Comparator<? super T> c) {
> if (a.length <= 1) {
> // Empty or singleton arrays are always sorted
> return true;
> }
> // Otherwise, check that every element is not smaller than the previous
> T previous = a[0];
> for (int i = 1, n = a.length; i < n; i++) {
> final T current = a[i];
> if (c.compare(previous, current) > 0) {
> return false;
> }
> previous = current;
> }
