elementDelimiter - The delimiter between elements, typically ", ".

vectorBegin - The start of the array, typically "{".

vectorEnd - The end of the array, typically "}".

Returns:

A new string representing the array in the format specified by the ArrayStringFormat argument.

within

public static final boolean within(Complex[] array1,
                                   Complex[] array2,
                                   Complex maxError)

Return true if all the distances between corresponding elements array1 and array2 are all less than or equal to the magnitude of maxError. If both arrays are empty, return true.

Parameters:

array1 - The first array.

array2 - The second array.

maxError - A complex number whose magnitude is taken to be the distance threshold.

Returns:

True if all the distances between corresponding elements array1 and array2 are all less than or equal to the magnitude of maxError.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the arrays are not of the same length.

within

public static final boolean within(Complex[] array1,
                                   Complex[] array2,
                                   double maxError)

Return true if all the distances between corresponding elements array1 and array2 are all less than or equal to maxError. If both arrays are empty, return true. If maxError is negative, return false.

Parameters:

array1 - The first array.

array2 - The second array.

maxError - The threshold for the magnitude of the difference.

Returns:

True if all the distances between corresponding elements array1 and array2 are all less than or equal to maxError.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the arrays are not of the same length.

within

public static final boolean within(Complex[] array1,
                                   Complex[] array2,
                                   double[] maxError)

Return true if all the distances between corresponding elements array1 and array2 are all less than or equal to the corresponding elements in maxError. If both arrays are empty, return true. If any element in maxError is negative, return false.

Parameters:

array1 - The first array.

array2 - The second array.

maxError - The array of thresholds for the magnitudes of the difference.

Returns:

True if all the distances between corresponding elements array1 and array2 are all less than or equal to the corresponding elements in maxError.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the arrays are not of the same length.

within

public static final boolean within(Complex[] array1,
                                   Complex[] array2,
                                   Complex[] maxError)

Return true if all the distances between corresponding elements array1 and array2 are all less than or equal to the magnitudes of the corresponding elements in maxError. If both arrays are empty, return true.

Note that there is no notion of negative distance with complex numbers, so unlike the within() methods for other types, this method will not return false if an element of the maxError matrix is negative.

Parameters:

array1 - The first array.

array2 - The second array.

maxError - An array of complex numbers whose magnitude for each element is taken to be the distance threshold.

Returns:

True if all the distances between corresponding elements array1 and array2 are all less than or equal to the magnitudes of the corresponding elements in maxError.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the arrays are not of the same length.

_commonLength

protected static final int _commonLength(Complex[] array1,
                                         Complex[] array2,
                                         java.lang.String methodName)

Throw an exception if the two arrays are not of the same length, or if either array is null. An exception is NOT thrown if both arrays are of length 0. If no exception is thrown, return the common length of the arrays.

Parameters:

array1 - The first array of doubles.

array2 - The second array of doubles.

methodName - A String representing the method name of the caller, without parentheses.

Returns:

The common length of both arrays.
