Method Summary
`static float[][]` | `clone(float[][] array)` Clones a two dimensional array of floats.
`static int` | `compareVersionArrays(java.lang.Comparable[] a1, java.lang.Comparable[] a2)` Compares the initial elements of two arrays.
`static boolean` | `equal(float[][] array1, float[][] array2)` Tests two float arrays for equality.
`static boolean` | `equalReferencesInArrays(java.lang.Object[] array1, java.lang.Object[] array2)` Returns `true` if all the references in `array1` are equal to all the references in `array2` (two `null` references are considered equal for this test).
`static boolean` | `hasDuplicateItems(java.lang.Object[] array)` Returns `true` if any two items in the array are equal to one another.

Method Detail

### clone

    public static float[][] clone(float[][] array)

  Clones a two dimensional array of floats.

  Parameters:
    `array` - the array.
  Returns:
    A clone of the array.

### equalReferencesInArrays

    public static boolean equalReferencesInArrays(java.lang.Object[] array1,
                                                  java.lang.Object[] array2)

  Returns `true` if all the references in `array1` are equal to all the references in `array2` (two `null` references are considered equal for this test).

  Parameters:
    `array1` - the first array (`null` permitted).
    `array2` - the second array (`null` permitted).
  Returns:
    A boolean.

### equal

    public static boolean equal(float[][] array1,
                                float[][] array2)

  Tests two float arrays for equality.

  Parameters:
    `array1` - the first array (`null` permitted).
    `array2` - the second arrray (`null` permitted).
  Returns:
    A boolean.

### hasDuplicateItems

    public static boolean hasDuplicateItems(java.lang.Object[] array)

  Returns `true` if any two items in the array are equal to one another. Any `null` values in the array are ignored.

  Parameters:
    `array` - the array to check.
  Returns:
    A boolean.

### compareVersionArrays

    public static int compareVersionArrays(java.lang.Comparable[] a1,
                                           java.lang.Comparable[] a2)

  Compares the initial elements of two arrays.

  Parameters:
    `a1` - array 1.
    `a2` - array 2.
  Returns:
    An integer showing the relative ordering.
