See also your comment of 30/Nov/11 00:31. The arrays in FastMathLiteralArrays are private, but the access methods are not, and returning an array allows the caller to modify array elements. If you don't want the memory overhead of a clone, then one could use array entry getters instead. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
