ShortBigArrays (fastutil 6.4.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- it.unimi.dsi.fastutil.shorts.ShortBigArrays

```
public class ShortBigArrays
extends Object
```
A class providing static methods and objects that do useful things with big arrays.
In particular, the ensureCapacity(), grow(), trim() and setLength() methods allow to handle big arrays much like array lists.
Note that BinIO and TextIO contain several methods make it possible to load and save big arrays of primitive types as sequences of elements in DataInput format (i.e., not as objects) or as sequences of lines of text.

    Parameters:
    array - a big array.
    length - the new minimum length for this big array.

                ShortComparator c)
```
    Searches a big array for the specified value using the binary search algorithm and a specified comparator. The range must be sorted following the comparator prior to making this call. If it is not sorted, the results are undefined. If the range contains multiple elements with the specified value, there is no guarantee which one will be found.
    
    Parameters:
    a - the big array to be searched.
    key - the value to be searched for.
    c - a comparator.
    
    Returns:
    index of the search key, if it is contained in the big array; otherwise, (-(insertion point) - 1). The insertion point is defined as the the point at which the value would be inserted into the big array: the index of the first element greater than the key, or the length of the big array, if all elements in the big array 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.
