public final class ArgumentChecks extends Static
Static methods for performing argument checks. Every methods in this class can throw one of the following exceptions:
Exceptions thrown on illegal argument
Exception Thrown by
NullArgumentException ensure­Non­Null, ensure­Non­Empty.
IllegalArgumentException ensure­Non­Empty, ensure­Positive, ensure­Strictly­Positive, ensure­Between, ensure­Count­Between, ensure­Non­Empty­Bounded, ensure­Can­Cast.
IndexOutOfBoundsException ensure­Valid­Index.
MismatchedDimensionException ensure­Dimension­Matches.
More specialized ensure­XXX(…) methods are provided in the following classes:

Method Arguments

By convention, the value to check is always the last parameter given to every methods in this class. The other parameters may include the programmatic name of the argument being checked. This programmatic name is used for building an error message localized in the default locale if the check failed.

  • Method Details

    • ensureNonNull

      public static void ensureNonNull(String name, Object object) throws NullArgumentException
      Makes sure that an argument is non-null. If the given object is null, then a Null­Argument­Exception is thrown with a localized message containing the given name.
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the argument to be checked. Used only if an exception is thrown.
      object - the user argument to check against null value.
      Throws:
      Null­Argument­Exception - if object is null.
    • ensureNonNullElement

      public static void ensureNonNullElement(String name, int index, Object element) throws NullArgumentException
      Makes sure that an array element is non-null. If element is null, then a Null­Argument­Exception is thrown with a localized message containing the given name and index. The name and index are formatted as below:
      • If the name contains the "[#]" sequence of characters, then the '#' character is replaced by the index value. For example if name is "axes[#].unit" and the index is 2, then the formatted message will contain "axes[2].unit".
      • If the name does not contain the "[#]" sequence of characters, then index value is appended between square brackets. For example if name is "axes" and the index is 2, then the formatted message will contain "axes[2]".
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the argument to be checked. Used only if an exception is thrown.
      index - the Index of the element to check in an array or a list. Used only if an exception is thrown.
      element - the array or list element to check against null value.
      Throws:
      Null­Argument­Exception - if element is null.

      Ensures that the given values array is non-null and non-empty. This method can also ensures that all values are between the given bounds (inclusive) and are distinct. The distinct values requirement is useful for validating arrays of spatiotemporal dimension indices, where dimensions cannot be repeated.

      Note that a successful call to ensure­Non­Empty(name, values, 0, max, true) implies 1 ≤ values​.lengthmax.

      values - integer values to validate.
      min - the minimal allowed value (inclusive), or Integer​.MIN_VALUE if none.
      max - the maximal allowed value (inclusive), or Integer​.MAX_VALUE if none.
      distinct - true if each value must be unique.
      Throws:
      Null­Argument­Exception - if values is null.
      Illegal­Argument­Exception - if values is empty, contains a value lower than min, contains a value greater than max, or contains duplicated values while distinct is true.

      Note that a successful call to ensure­Non­Empty­Bounded(name, true, 0, max, values) implies 1 ≤ values​.lengthmax.

      Parameters:
      name - the name of the argument to be checked. Used only if an exception is thrown.
      distinct - true if each value must be unique.
      min - the minimal allowed value (inclusive), or Integer​.MIN_VALUE if none.

      Parameters:
      length - the length of the sequence (array, Char­Sequence, etc.).
      lower - the user-specified lower index, inclusive.
      upper - the user-specified upper index, exclusive.
