- - ### Method Detail

    - #### size

          int size()

      Return the size of the array.
      Returns:
        The size of the array.

    - #### toStringArray

          String[] toStringArray()

      Creates a new string array and copies this array values into it.
      Returns:
        A Java array copy of this array.

    - #### copyToArray

          void copyToArray(int srcOffset,
                           String[] dest,
                           int destOffset,
                           int length)
                    throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

      Copy the contents of the array to an external string array.
      Parameters:
        `srcOffset` - The index of the first element to copy.
        `dest` - The array to copy to.
        `destOffset` - Where to start copying into `dest`.
        `length` - The number of elements to copy.
      Throws:
        `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - If `srcOffset < 0` or `length > size()` or `destOffset + length > destArray.length`.

    - #### copyFromArray

          void copyFromArray(String[] src,
                             int srcOffset,
                             int destOffset,
                             int length)
                      throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException,
                             NumberFormatException

      Copy the contents of an external string array into this array. The strings are parsed and converted to floats.
      Parameters:
        `src` - The source array.
        `srcOffset` - Where to start copying in the source array.
        `destOffset` - Where to start copying to in the destination array.
        `length` - The number of elements to copy.
      Throws:
        `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - When length conditions are not met.
        `NumberFormatException` - When the input strings do not represent valid floats.
        `UnsupportedOperationException` - When the array is an array of FSs.
