<brief_description>
Generic array datatype.
</brief_description>
<description>
Generic array, contains several elements of any type, accessible by numerical index starting at 0. Negative indices can be used to count from the right, like in Python. Arrays are always passed by reference.

<return type="int">
</return>
<argument index="0" name="value" type="var">
</argument>
<argument index="1" name="before" type="bool" default="True">
</argument>
<description>
Finds the index of an existing value (or the insertion index that maintains sorting order, if the value is not yet present in the array) using binary search. Optionally, a before specifier can be passed. If false, the returned index comes after all existing entries of the value in the array. Note that calling bsearch on an unsorted array results in unexpected behavior.

<return type="int">
</return>
<argument index="0" name="value" type="var">

<argument index="1" name="obj" type="Object">
</argument>
<argument index="2" name="func" type="String">
</argument>
<argument index="3" name="before" type="bool" default="True">
</argument>
<description>
Finds the index of an existing value (or the insertion index that maintains sorting order, if the value is not yet present in the array) using binary search and a custom comparison method. Optionally, a before specifier can be passed. If false, the returned index comes after all existing entries of the value in the array. The custom method receives two arguments (an element from the array and the value searched for) and must return true if the first argument is less than the second, and return false otherwise. Note that calling bsearch on an unsorted array results in unexpected behavior.
</description>
</method>

</argument>
<description>
Return the amount of times an element is in the array.
</description>
</method>
<method name="duplicate">
<return type="Array">
</return>
<argument index="0" name="deep" type="bool" default="False">
</argument>
<description>
Returns a copy of the array.
If [code]deep[/code] is [code]true[/code], a deep copy is be performed: all nested arrays and dictionaries are duplicated and will not be shared with the original array. If [code]false[/code], a shallow copy is made and references to the original nested arrays and dictionaries are kept, so that modifying a sub-array or dictionary in the copy will also impact those referenced in the source array.
</description>
</method>
<method name="empty">
<return type="bool">
</return>
<description>
Return true if the array is empty (size==0).
</description>
</method>

<method name="hash">
<return type="int">
</return>
<description>
Return a hashed integer value representing the array contents.
</description>
</method>
<method name="insert">
<argument index="0" name="position" type="int">
</argument>
<argument index="1" name="value" type="var">
</argument>
<description>

Remove the last element of the array.
</description>
</method>
<method name="pop_front">
<return type="var">
</return>
<description>

</description>
</method>
<method name="push_back">
<argument index="0" name="value" type="var">
</argument>
<description>
Append an element at the end of the array.
</description>
</method>
<method name="push_front">
<argument index="0" name="value" type="var">
</argument>
<description>
Add an element at the beginning of the array.
</description>
</method>
<method name="remove">
<argument index="0" name="position" type="int">
</argument>
<description>
Remove an element from the array by index.
</description>
</method>
<method name="resize">
<argument index="0" name="size" type="int">
</argument>
<description>
Resize the array to contain a different number of elements. If the array size is smaller, elements are cleared, if bigger, new elements are Null.
</description>
</method>
<method name="rfind">
<return type="int">
</return>
<argument index="0" name="what" type="var">
</argument>
<argument index="1" name="from" type="int" default="-1">
</argument>
<description>
Searches the array in reverse order. Optionally, a start search index can be passed. If negative, the start index is considered relative to the end of the array.
</description>
</method>
<method name="shuffle">
<description>
Shuffle the array such that the items will have a random order.
</description>
</method>
<method name="size">
<return type="int">
</return>
<description>
Return the amount of elements in the array.
</description>
</method>
<method name="sort">
<description>
Sort the array using natural order and return reference to the array.
</description>
</method>
<method name="sort_custom">
<argument index="0" name="obj" type="Object">
</argument>
<argument index="1" name="func" type="String">
</argument>
<description>
Sort the array using a custom method and return reference to the array. The arguments are an object that holds the method and the name of such method. The custom method receives two arguments (a pair of elements from the array) and must return true if the first argument is less than the second, and return false otherwise. Note: you cannot randomize the return value as the heapsort algorithm expects a deterministic result. Doing so will result in unexpected behavior.
