The lastIndexOf() method of Bytes Class in Guava library is used to find the last index of the given byte value in a byte array. This byte value to be searched and the byte array in which it is to be searched, both are passed as a parameter to this method. It returns an integer value which is the last index of the specified byte value. If the value is not found, it returns -1.
Syntax:
public static int lastIndexOf(byte[] array, byte target)
Parameters: This method accepts two mandatory parameters:
- array: which is the array of byte values in which the byte value is to searched.
- target: which is byte value to be searched for last index in the byte array.
Return Value: This method returns an integer value which is the last index of the specified byte value. If the value is not found, it returns -1.
Below programs illustrates this method:
Example 1:
// Java code to show implementation of // Guava's Bytes.lastIndexOf() method import com.google.common.primitives.Bytes; import java.util.Arrays; class GFG { // Driver's code public static void main(String[] args) { // Creating a byte array byte [] arr = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 3 , 5 , 3 , 4 }; byte target = 3 ; // Using Bytes.lastIndexOf() method // to get the index of last appearance // of a given element in array // and return -1 if element is // not found in the array int index = Bytes.lastIndexOf(arr, target); if (index != - 1 ) { System.out.println( "Target is present" + " at index " + index); } else { System.out.println( "Target is not present" + " in the array" ); } } } |
Target is present at index 6
Example 2:
// Java code to show implementation of // Guava's Bytes.lastIndexOf() method import com.google.common.primitives.Bytes; import java.util.Arrays; class GFG { // Driver's code public static void main(String[] args) { // Creating a byte array byte [] arr = { 3 , 5 , 7 , 11 , 13 }; byte target = 17 ; // Using Bytes.lastIndexOf() method // to get the index of last appearance // of a given element in array // and return -1 if element is // not found in the array int index = Bytes.lastIndexOf(arr, target); if (index != - 1 ) { System.out.println( "Target is present" + " at index " + index); } else { System.out.println( "Target is not present" + " in the array" ); } } } |
Target is not present in the array
