Class FloatList

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Iterable<Float>

    public class FloatList
    extends Object
    implements Iterable<Float>
    Helper class for a list of floats. Lists are designed to have some of the features of ArrayLists, but to maintain the simplicity and efficiency of working with arrays. Functions like sort() and shuffle() always act on the list itself. To get a sorted copy, use list.copy().sort().

        public float[] values()
        Returns the actual array being used to store the data. For advanced users, this is the fastest way to access a large list. Suitable for iterating with a for() loop, but modifying the list will have terrible consequences.

        Create a new array with a copy of all the values.
        Returns:
        an array sized by the length of the list with each of the values.

        array -
      • getPercent

        public FloatList getPercent()
        Returns a normalized version of this array. Called getPercent() for consistency with the Dict classes. It's a getter method because it needs to returns a new list (because IntList/Dict can't do percentages or normalization in place on int values).

      • getSubset

        public FloatList getSubset​(int start,
