- - ### Method Detail

    - #### public boolean any(Closure<?> predicate)

      Iterates over the contents of a long Array, and checks whether a predicate is valid for at least one element.

           long[] array = [0L, 1L, 2L]
           assert array.any{ it > 1L }
           assert !array.any{ it > 3L }

      Parameters:
        `predicate` - the closure predicate used for matching
      Returns:
        true if any iteration for the longs matches the closure predicate
      Since:
        5.0.0

    - #### public boolean asBoolean()

      Coerces a long array to a boolean value. A long array is false if the array is of length 0, and true otherwise.

      Returns:
        the array's boolean value
      Since:
        1.7.4

    - #### public BigDecimal average()

        The average of the items
      Since:
        3.0.0

    - #### public List<List<Long>> chop(int chopSizes)

      Chops the long array into pieces, returning lists with sizes corresponding to the supplied chop sizes. If the array isn't large enough, truncated (possibly empty) pieces are returned. Using a chop size of -1 will cause that piece to contain all remaining items from the array.

           long[] array = [0, 1, 2]
           assert array.chop(1, 2) == [[0], [1, 2]]

      Returns:
        true if the array contains the value
      Since:
        1.8.6

    - #### public Number count(Object value)

      Counts the number of occurrences of the given value inside this array. Comparison is done using Groovy's == operator (using `compareTo(value) == 0`).
