### indexOf

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

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

### indexOf

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

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

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

### min

    public static int min(int... array)

  Returns the least value present in `array`.

  Parameters:
    `array` - a nonempty array of `int` values
  Returns:
    the value present in `array` that is less than or equal to every other value in the array
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `array` is empty

### max

    public static int max(int... array)

  Returns the greatest value present in `array`.

  Parameters:
    `array` - a nonempty array of `int` values
  Returns:
    the value present in `array` that is greater than or equal to every other value in the array
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `array` is empty

### concat

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

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

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

### toByteArray

    @GwtIncompatible(value="doesn\'t work")
    public static byte[] toByteArray(int value)

  Returns a big-endian representation of `value` in a 4-element byte array; equivalent to `ByteBuffer.allocate(4).putInt(value).array()`. For example, the input value `0x12131415` would yield the byte array `{0x12, 0x13, 0x14, 0x15}`.

  If you need to convert and concatenate several values (possibly even of different types), use a shared `ByteBuffer` instance, or use `ByteStreams.newDataOutput()` to get a growable buffer.

### fromByteArray

    @GwtIncompatible(value="doesn\'t work")
    public static int fromByteArray(byte[] bytes)

  Returns the `int` value whose big-endian representation is stored in the first 4 bytes of `bytes`; equivalent to `ByteBuffer.wrap(bytes).getInt()`. For example, the input byte array `{0x12, 0x13, 0x14, 0x15, 0x33}` would yield the `int` value `0x12131415`.

  Arguably, it's preferable to use `ByteBuffer`; that library exposes much more flexibility at little cost in readability.

  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `bytes` has fewer than 4 elements

### fromBytes

    @GwtIncompatible(value="doesn\'t work")
    public static int fromBytes(byte b1,
                                                     byte b2,
                                                     byte b3,
                                                     byte b4)

  Returns the `int` value whose byte representation is the given 4 bytes, in big-endian order; equivalent to `Ints.fromByteArray(new byte[] {b1, b2, b3, b4})`.

  Since:
    7.0

### ensureCapacity

    public static int[] ensureCapacity(int[] 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

### join

    public static String join(String separator,
                              int... array)

  Returns a string containing the supplied `int` values separated by `separator`. For example, `join("-", 1, 2, 3)` returns the string `"1-2-3"`.

  Parameters:
    `separator` - the text that should appear between consecutive values in the resulting string (but not at the start or end)
    `array` - an array of `int` values, possibly empty

### lexicographicalComparator

    public static Comparator<int[]> lexicographicalComparator()

  Returns a comparator that compares two `int` arrays lexicographically. That is, it compares, using `compare(int, int)`), the first pair of values that follow any common prefix, or when one array is a prefix of the other, treats the shorter array as the lesser. For example, `[] < [1] < [1, 2] < [2]`.

  The returned comparator is inconsistent with `Object.equals(Object)` (since arrays support only identity equality), but it is consistent with `Arrays.equals(int[], int[])`.

  Since:
    2.0
  See Also:
    Lexicographical order article at Wikipedia

### toArray

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

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

  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<Integer>` before 12.0)

### asList

    public static List<Integer> asList(int... 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 `Integer` 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

### tryParse

    @Beta
    @CheckForNull
    @GwtIncompatible(value="TODO")
    public static Integer tryParse(String string)

  Parses the specified string as a signed decimal integer value. The ASCII character `'-'` (`'\u002D'`) is recognized as the minus sign.

  Unlike `Integer.parseInt(String)`, this method returns `null` instead of throwing an exception if parsing fails.

  Note that strings prefixed with ASCII `'+'` are rejected, even under JDK 7, despite the change to `Integer.parseInt(String)` for that version.

  Parameters:
    `string` - the string representation of an integer value
  Returns:
    the integer value represented by `string`, or `null` if `string` has a length of zero or cannot be parsed as an integer value

    11.0
