## Class IntsRef

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.util.IntsRef

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Cloneable, Comparable<IntsRef>

      public final class IntsRef
      extends Object
      implements Comparable<IntsRef>, Cloneable

  Represents int[], as a slice (offset + length) into an existing int[]. The `ints` member should never be null; use `EMPTY_INTS` if necessary.
  NOTE: This API is for internal purposes only and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

- - ### Field Summary

    Fields
    Modifier and Type | Field and Description
    --- | ---
    `static int[]` | `EMPTY_INTS` An empty integer array for convenience
    `int[]` | `ints` The contents of the IntsRef.
    `int` | `length` Length of used ints.
    `int` | `offset` Offset of first valid integer.

  - ### Constructor Summary

    Constructors
    Constructor and Description
    `IntsRef()` Create a IntsRef with `EMPTY_INTS`
    `IntsRef(int capacity)` Create a IntsRef pointing to a new array of size `capacity`.
    `IntsRef(int[] ints, int offset, int length)` This instance will directly reference ints w/o making a copy.

  - ### Method Summary

    All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `IntsRef` | `clone()` Returns a shallow clone of this instance (the underlying ints are not copied and will be shared by both the returned object and this object.
    `int` | `compareTo(IntsRef other)` Signed int order comparison
    `static IntsRef` | `deepCopyOf(IntsRef other)` Creates a new IntsRef that points to a copy of the ints from `other`
    `boolean` | `equals(Object other)`
    `int` | `hashCode()`
    `boolean` | `intsEquals(IntsRef other)`
    `boolean` | `isValid()` Performs internal consistency checks.
    `String` | `toString()`

- - ### Field Detail

    - #### EMPTY_INTS

          public static final int[] EMPTY_INTS

      An empty integer array for convenience

    - #### ints

          public int[] ints

      The contents of the IntsRef. Should never be `null`.

    - #### offset

          public int offset

      Offset of first valid integer.

    - #### length

          public int length

      Length of used ints.

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### IntsRef

          public IntsRef()

      Create a IntsRef with `EMPTY_INTS`

    - #### IntsRef

          public IntsRef(int capacity)

      Create a IntsRef pointing to a new array of size `capacity`. Offset and length will both be zero.

    - #### IntsRef

          public IntsRef(int[] ints,
                         int offset,
                         int length)

      This instance will directly reference ints w/o making a copy. ints should not be null.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### clone

          public IntsRef clone()

      Returns a shallow clone of this instance (the underlying ints are not copied and will be shared by both the returned object and this object.
      Overrides:
        `clone` in class `Object`
      See Also:
        `deepCopyOf(org.apache.lucene.util.IntsRef)`

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `Object`

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(Object other)

      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `Object`

    - #### intsEquals

          public boolean intsEquals(IntsRef other)

    - #### compareTo

          public int compareTo(IntsRef other)

      Signed int order comparison
      Specified by:
        `compareTo` in interface `Comparable<IntsRef>`

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`

    - #### deepCopyOf

          public static IntsRef deepCopyOf(IntsRef other)

      Creates a new IntsRef that points to a copy of the ints from `other`

      The returned IntsRef will have a length of other.length and an offset of zero.

    - #### isValid

          public boolean isValid()

      Performs internal consistency checks. Always returns true (or throws IllegalStateException)
