convert array_chunk from php to java -

my php code is:

$splitarray = array_chunk($thearray,ceil(count($thearray) / 2),true); 

php's array_chunk function splits array chunks of size specify. can in java, using arrays.copyofrange , passing in start , end points. here sample code:

/**  * chunks array size large chunks.   * last chunk may contain less size elements.   * @param <t>  * @param arr array work on   * @param size size of each chunk   * @return list of arrays  */ public static <t> list<t[]> chunk(t[] arr, int size) {      if (size <= 0)         throw new illegalargumentexception("size must > 0 : " + size);      list<t[]> result = new arraylist<t[]>();      int = 0;     int = size >= arr.length ? arr.length : size;      while (from < arr.length) {         t[] subarray = arrays.copyofrange(arr, from, to);         = to;         += size;         if (to > arr.length) {             = arr.length;         }         result.add(subarray);     }     return result; } 

for example, create chunks of size two:

string[] arr = {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"} ; list<string[]> chunks = chunk(arr,2); 

which return 3 arrays:

{a,b} {c,d} {e}
