All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`get(long index, java.lang.Object array, int ioff, int count)`	Retrieves a vector of values from this object.
`long`	`getLength()`	Returns the length of the vector.
`java.lang.Class<?>`	`getType()`	Returns the class of value which this object can store.
`void`	`put(long index, java.lang.Object array, int ioff, int count)`	Stores a vector of values in this object.

- Method Detail
  - getType
```
java.lang.Class<?> getType()
```
    Returns the class of value which this object can store.
    
    Returns:
    
    primitive class
  - getLength
```
long getLength()
```
    Returns the length of the vector.
    
    Returns:
    
    vector length
  - put
```
void put(long index,
         java.lang.Object array,
         int ioff,
         int count)
```
    Stores a vector of values in this object. array must be an array of values matching getType. Element ioff of array is stored at index index, elemnt ioff+1 at index+1, etc.
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - starting offset to write to
    
    array - array of values to store
    
    ioff - offset into array from which the first value is taken
    
    count - number of values to transfer
  - get
```
void get(long index,
         java.lang.Object array,
         int ioff,
         int count)
```
    Retrieves a vector of values from this object. array must be an array of type matching getType. Every element of array will be filled with values; the first retrieved from offset index, the second from index+1, etc.
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - starting offset
    
    array - array to accept data
    
    ioff - offset into array to which the first value is copied
    
    count - number of values to transfer
