- - ### Methods Detail

    - #### public boolean asBoolean()

      Coerces an int array to a boolean value. An int array is false if the array is of length 0, and true otherwise.

      Returns:
        the array's boolean value
      Since:
        1.7.4

    - #### public boolean contains(Object value)

      Checks whether the array contains the given value.

      Parameters:
        `value` - the value being searched for
      Returns:
        true if the array contains the value
      Since:
        1.8.6

    - #### public Number count(Object value)

      Counts the number of occurrences of the given value inside this array. Comparison is done using Groovy's == operator (using `compareTo(value) == 0` or `equals(value)` ).

      Parameters:
        `value` - the value being searched for
      Returns:
        the number of occurrences
      Since:
        1.6.4

    - #### public boolean equals(int[] right)

      Compare the contents of this array to the contents of the given array.

      Parameters:
        `right` - the array being compared
      Returns:
        true if the contents of both arrays are equal.
      Since:
        1.5.0

    - #### public Collection flatten()

      Flatten an array. This array and any nested arrays or collections have their contents (recursively) added to the new collection.

      Returns:
        a flattened Collection
      Since:
        1.6.0

    - #### public List getAt(IntRange range)

      Support the subscript operator with an IntRange for an int array

      Parameters:
        `range` - an IntRange indicating the indices for the items to retrieve
      Returns:
        list of the retrieved ints
      Since:
        1.0

    - #### public List getAt(ObjectRange range)

      Support the subscript operator with an ObjectRange for an int array

      Parameters:
        `range` - an ObjectRange indicating the indices for the items to retrieve
      Returns:
        list of the retrieved ints
      Since:
        1.0

    - #### public List getAt(Range range)

      Support the subscript operator with a range for an int array

      Parameters:
