ALTERNATIVES: None.
EXAMPLES SIMPLE EXAMPLE: String[] strs = new String[10]; .. fill array ... String[] sorted = strs.sort(); int ix = sorted.binarySearch(key); strs.fill("sample");
ADVANCED EXAMPLE: Any ideas how to implement: Higher Level Functions - Filter, Map, and Reduce ?
DETAILS SPECIFICATION: ?
COMPILATION: As today.
TESTING: ?
LIBRARY SUPPORT: None.
REFLECTIVE APIS: No.
