## com.google.common.primitives
Class Bytes

    java.lang.Object
      com.google.common.primitives.Bytes

    @GwtCompatible
    public final class Bytes

extends Object

Static utility methods pertaining to `byte` primitives, that are not already found in either `Byte` or `Arrays`, and interpret bytes as neither signed nor unsigned. The methods which specifically treat bytes as signed or unsigned are found in `SignedBytes` and `UnsignedBytes`.

See the Guava User Guide article on primitive utilities.

Since:
  1.0

Method Summary
`static List<Byte>` | `asList(byte... backingArray)` Returns a fixed-size list backed by the specified array, similar to `Arrays.asList(Object[])`.
`static byte[]` | `concat(byte[]... arrays)` Returns the values from each provided array combined into a single array.
`static boolean` | `contains(byte[] array, byte target)` Returns `true` if `target` is present as an element anywhere in `array`.
`static byte[]` | `ensureCapacity(byte[] array, int minLength, int padding)` Returns an array containing the same values as `array`, but guaranteed to be of a specified minimum length.
`static int` | `hashCode(byte value)` Returns a hash code for `value`; equal to the result of invoking `((Byte) value).hashCode()`.
`static int` | `indexOf(byte[] array, byte target)` Returns the index of the first appearance of the value `target` in `array`.
`static int` | `indexOf(byte[] array, byte[] target)` Returns the start position of the first occurrence of the specified `target` within `array`, or `-1` if there is no such occurrence.
`static int` | `lastIndexOf(byte[] array, byte target)` Returns the index of the last appearance of the value `target` in `array`.
`static byte[]` | `toArray(Collection<? extends Number> collection)` Returns an array containing each value of `collection`, converted to a `byte` value in the manner of `Number.byteValue()`.

Method Detail

### hashCode

    public static int hashCode(byte value)

  Returns a hash code for `value`; equal to the result of invoking `((Byte) value).hashCode()`.

  Parameters:
    `value` - a primitive `byte` value
  Returns:
    a hash code for the value

### contains

    public static boolean contains(byte[] array,
                                   byte target)

  Returns `true` if `target` is present as an element anywhere in `array`.

  Parameters:
    `array` - an array of `byte` values, possibly empty
    `target` - a primitive `byte` value
  Returns:
    `true` if `array[i] == target` for some value of `i`

### indexOf

    public static int indexOf(byte[] array,
                              byte target)

  Returns the index of the first appearance of the value `target` in `array`.

  Parameters:
    `array` - an array of `byte` values, possibly empty
    `target` - a primitive `byte` value
  Returns:
    the least index `i` for which `array[i] == target`, or `-1` if no such index exists.

### indexOf

    public static int indexOf(byte[] array,
                              byte[] target)

  Returns the start position of the first occurrence of the specified `target` within `array`, or `-1` if there is no such occurrence.

  More formally, returns the lowest index `i` such that `java.util.Arrays.copyOfRange(array, i, i + target.length)` contains exactly the same elements as `target`.

  Parameters:
    `array` - the array to search for the sequence `target`
    `target` - the array to search for as a sub-sequence of `array`

### lastIndexOf

    public static int lastIndexOf(byte[] array,
                                  byte target)

  Returns the index of the last appearance of the value `target` in `array`.

  Parameters:
    `array` - an array of `byte` values, possibly empty
    `target` - a primitive `byte` value
  Returns:
    the greatest index `i` for which `array[i] == target`, or `-1` if no such index exists.

### concat

    public static byte[] concat(byte[]... arrays)

  Returns the values from each provided array combined into a single array. For example, `concat(new byte[] {a, b}, new byte[] {}, new byte[] {c}` returns the array `{a, b, c}`.

  Parameters:
    `arrays` - zero or more `byte` arrays
  Returns:
    a single array containing all the values from the source arrays, in order

### ensureCapacity

    public static byte[] ensureCapacity(byte[] array,
                                        int minLength,
                                        int padding)

  Returns an array containing the same values as `array`, but guaranteed to be of a specified minimum length. If `array` already has a length of at least `minLength`, it is returned directly. Otherwise, a new array of size `minLength + padding` is returned, containing the values of `array`, and zeroes in the remaining places.

  Parameters:
    `array` - the source array
    `minLength` - the minimum length the returned array must guarantee
    `padding` - an extra amount to "grow" the array by if growth is necessary
  Returns:
    an array containing the values of `array`, with guaranteed minimum length `minLength`
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `minLength` or `padding` is negative

### toArray

    public static byte[] toArray(Collection<? extends Number> collection)

  Returns an array containing each value of `collection`, converted to a `byte` value in the manner of `Number.byteValue()`.

  Elements are copied from the argument collection as if by `collection.toArray()`. Calling this method is as thread-safe as calling that method.

  Parameters:
    `collection` - a collection of `Number` instances
  Returns:
    an array containing the same values as `collection`, in the same order, converted to primitives
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if `collection` or any of its elements is null
  Since:
    1.0 (parameter was `Collection<Byte>` before 12.0)

### asList

    public static List<Byte> asList(byte... backingArray)

  Returns a fixed-size list backed by the specified array, similar to `Arrays.asList(Object[])`. The list supports `List.set(int, Object)`, but any attempt to set a value to `null` will result in a `NullPointerException`.

  The returned list maintains the values, but not the identities, of `Byte` objects written to or read from it. For example, whether `list.get(0) == list.get(0)` is true for the returned list is unspecified.

  Parameters:
    `backingArray` - the array to back the list
  Returns:
    a list view of the array
