Method Detail

binarySearch

public static int binarySearch(ucar.ma2.Array ma,
                               long key,
                               int keyDimension)

Search a multiarray using a binary search

Parameters:

ma - The interface ucar.ma2.Array to search

key - The value to search for

keyDimension - Specifies the index of the dimension to search for example if its a 2-D array and the first dimension contains the keyD the keyDimension = 0

Returns:

index of the search key, if it is contained in the list; otherwise, (-(insertion point) - 1). The insertion point is defined as the point at which the key would be inserted into the list: the index of the first element greater than the key, or list.size(), if all elements in the list are less than the specified key. Note that this guarantees that the return value will be >= 0 if and only if the key is found.
