Method Detail

isEqual

public static <T> boolean isEqual(T object1,
                                  T object2)

Determine if two objects of the same type are equal or not.

Type Parameters:

T - The type of object being compared.

Parameters:

object1 - Left hand side object.

object2 - Right hand side object.

Returns:

True if the objects are equal, false otherwise.

addNoDuplicates

public static <T> boolean addNoDuplicates(java.util.List<T> list,
                                          T candidate)

Add an item to a list, checking for duplicates. If the item is duplicated, it is not added and false is returned. This allows you to use a List container like a Set. There are situations where the List interface is more useful than the Set interface, but you cannot allow duplicates.

Type Parameters:

T - The type of object contained by list.

Parameters:

list - The list to add the item to.

candidate - The candidate item.

Returns:

True if the item was added, false if it already exists so it was not added again.

isZero

public static boolean isZero(long[] values,
                             int columnCount)

Determine if all the values in an array are zero or not. Please note that this is only available since Moneydance build 754

Parameters:

values - The array to check.

columnCount - Number of array values to check

Returns:

True if all values are zero, false if one or more values is non-zero.

Since:
