Concrete implementation of Array specialized for chars. Data storage is with 1D java array of chars.
issues: what should we do if a conversion loses accuracy? nothing ? Exception ?

```
    Create a String out of this rank two ArrayChar object. This treats the ArrayChar as a 1D array of Strings. If there is a null (0) value in the ArrayChar array, the String will end there. The null is not returned as part of the String.
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - index into 1D String array, must be < getShape(0).

    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if rank != 2
  - getString
```
public String getString(Index ima)
```
    Create a String out of this ArrayChar object. The rank must be 1 or greater. If there is a null (0) value in the ArrayChar array, the String will end there. The null is not returned as part of the String.
    If rank=1, then this will make a string out of the entire CharArray, ignoring ima. If rank is greater than 1, then make a String out of the characters of the last dimension, indexed by ima. This method treats the CharArray like an array of Strings, and allows you to iterate over them, eg for a 2D ArrayChar:
    ArrayChar ca; Index ima = ca.getIndex(); for (int i=0; i
    Parameters: ima - the Index of where in the Array to start. Returns: String value of CharArray Throws: IllegalArgumentException - if rank != 1
  setString public void setString(String val) Set the ArrayChar values from the characters in the String. Rank must be 1. If String longer than ArrayChar, ignore extra chars; if shorter, fill with 0. Parameters: val - set characters from this String Throws: IllegalArgumentException - if rank != 2 setString public void setString(int index, String val) Set the ArrayChar values from the characters in the String. Rank must be 2. This treats the ArrayChar as a 1D array of Strings. If String val longer than ArrayChar, ignore extra chars; if shorter, fill with 0. String[] val = new String[n]; ArrayChar ca; Index ima = ca.getIndex(); for (int i=0; i Parameters: index - index into 1D String array, must be < getShape(0). val - set chars from this sString setString public void setString(Index ima, String val) Set the ArrayChar values from the characters in the String. Rank must be 1 or greater. If String longer than ArrayChar, ignore extra chars; if shorter, fill with 0. If rank 1, set entire ArrayChar, ignoring ima. If rank > 1, treat the ArrayChar like an array of Strings of rank-1, and set the row indexed by ima. For example, rank 3: String[][] val; ArrayChar ca; Index ima = ca.getIndex(); int rank0 = ca.getShape()[0]; int rank1 = ca.getShape()[1]; for (int i=0; i Parameters: ima - the Index of where in the Array to start. val - set to this value getDouble public double getDouble(int index) Specified by: getDouble in class Array setDouble public void setDouble(int index, double value) Specified by: setDouble in class Array getFloat public float getFloat(int index) Specified by: getFloat in class Array setFloat public void setFloat(int index, float value) Specified by: setFloat in class Array getLong public long getLong(int index) Specified by: getLong in class Array setLong public void setLong(int index, long value) Specified by: setLong in class Array getInt public int getInt(int index) Specified by: getInt in class Array setInt public void setInt(int index, int value) Specified by: setInt in class Array getShort public short getShort(int index) Specified by: getShort in class Array setShort public void setShort(int index, short value) Specified by: setShort in class Array getByte public byte getByte(int index) Specified by: getByte in class Array setByte public void setByte(int index, byte value) Specified by: setByte in class Array getChar public char getChar(int index) Specified by: getChar in class Array setChar public void setChar(int index, char value) Specified by: setChar in class Array getBoolean public boolean getBoolean(int index) Specified by: getBoolean in class Array setBoolean public void setBoolean(int index, boolean value) Specified by: setBoolean in class Array getObject public Object getObject(int index) Specified by: getObject in class Array setObject public void setObject(int index, Object value) Specified by: setObject in class Array toString public String toString() Overrides: toString in class Array getStringIterator public ArrayChar.StringIterator getStringIterator() Treat this Variable as an array of Strings, and iterate over all the strings in the array. If rank == 0, will make single String of length 1. Returns: Iterator over Strings. iterator public Iterator<String> iterator() Specified by: iterator in interface Iterable<String> make1DStringArray public ArrayObject make1DStringArray() Make this into the equivilent 1D ArrayObject of Strings. Returns: 1D ArrayObject of Strings makeFromString public static ArrayChar makeFromString(String s, int max) Create an ArrayChar from a String Parameters: s - String max - maximum length Returns: equivilent ArrayChar makeFromStringArray public static ArrayChar makeFromStringArray(ArrayObject values) Create an ArrayChar from an ArrayObject of Strings. Parameters: values - ArrayObject of String Returns: equivilent ArrayChar, using maximum length of String. Unused are zero filled. makeFromStringArray public static ArrayChar makeFromStringArray(ArrayObject values, int strlen) Create an ArrayChar from an ArrayObject of Strings. Inverse of make1DStringArray. Copies the data. Parameters: values - ArrayObject of String strlen - string length dimension size Returns: equivilent ArrayChar. Unused are zero filled.
