Parallel Array Sorting

parallelSort() is implemented to facilitate parallel implementation of sorting operations in Arrays.

Standard Encoding and Decoding Base64

The Base64 class defines factory methods to get Encoder and Decoder instances that encode and decode base64 data.

Unsigned Arithmetic Support

Integers are 32-bits numbers out of which 1 bit is reserved for the sign but using these unsigned methods one can use all the 32 bits. Static methods such as parseUnsignedLong, toUnsignedString, divideUnsigned, compareUnsigned were added to the Long class and methods such as divideUnsigned, compareUnsigned, parseUnsignedInt, remainderUnsigned, toUnsignedString were added to the Integer class. These methods are faster than using the BigDecimal and BigInteger for arithmetic operations as these include optimizations of primitive datatypes.
