Arrays

1. Summary

1. Based on jdk 1.8

2. asList

    /**
     * Returns a fixed-size list backed by the specified array.  (Changes to
     * the returned list "write through" to the array.)  This method acts
     * as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs, in
     * combination with {@link Collection#toArray}.  The returned list is
     * serializable and implements {@link RandomAccess}.
     *
     * <p>This method also provides a convenient way to create a fixed-size
     * list initialized to contain several elements:
     * <pre>
     *     List<String> stooges = Arrays.asList("Larry", "Moe", "Curly");
     * </pre>
     *
     * @param a the array by which the list will be backed
     * @return a list view of the specified array
     */
    public static <T> List<T> asList(T... a) {
	return new ArrayList<T>(a);
    }

1. The parameter is T and multiple generic T
If the parameter is an array of basic data types, it will be regarded as a whole, such as int [] a. At this time, size = 1.
If the parameter is a reference data type, its size is Number of data 2. ArrayList is

not java.util.ArrayList

3. Internal private static class of Arrays.ArrayList
