# StaticArray

A randomly accessible sequence of values of a generic type with a fixed length.

The StaticArray API is similar to the Array API, with the important difference that it has a fixed length that cannot change. Unlike a normal Array, a StaticArray does not have a separate backing buffer, so no level of indirection, and as such can have minimal overhead and performance characteristics very similar to arrays in C.

# Constructor

```
new StaticArray<T>(length: i32)
```
Constructs a new static array.

# Static members

function fromArray<T>(source: T[]): StaticArray<T>

Creates a static array from a normal array.

function concat<T>(source: StaticArray<T>, other: StaticArray<T>): StaticArray<T>

Like the instance member concat, but taking and returning a StaticArray.

function slice<T>(source: StaticArray<T>, start?: i32, end?: i32): StaticArray<T>

Like the instance member slice, but returning a StaticArray.

# Instance members

# Fields

```
readonly length: i32
```
The fixed length of this static array.

# Methods

```
function concat(other: T[]): T[]
```
Concatenates the values of this static and the other normal array to a new normal array, in this order.
```
function includes(value: T, fromIndex?: i32): bool
```
Tests if the array includes the specified value, optionally providing a starting index.
```
function indexOf(value: T, fromIndex?: i32): i32
```
Gets the first index where the specified value can be found in the array. Returns -1 if not found.
```
function join(separator?: string): string
```
Concatenates all values of the array to a string, separated by the specified separator (default: ,).
```
function lastIndexOf(value: T, fromIndex?: i32): i32
```
Gets the last index where the specified value can be found in the array. Returns -1 if not found.
```
function slice(start?: i32, end?: i32): T[]
```
Returns a shallow copy of this static array's values from begin inclusive to end exclusive, as a new normal array. If omitted, end defaults to the end of the array.
```
function toString(): string
```
Returns the result of join().
