//throw InvalidArgumentException, Bar() instance assigned.
$fooArray[] = new Bar();

//correct, Foo() instance used.
$fooArray->append(new Foo());
//throw InvalidArgumentException, Bar() instance used, Foo() instance expected.
$fooArray->append(new Bar());

//throw InvalidArgumentException, mixed array of instances passed to constructor.

> **Note:** Allowed types are: *array*, *bool*, *callable*, *float*, *int*, *object*, *string* and all existing classes.

Performance consideration for v3.0
----------------------------------

[](#performance-consideration-for-v30)

Compared to previous versions of the library, this version is a bit faster because every types has it own class. Do milliseconds really matters?

[![Array Speed Test](array-speed-test-v3.png)](array-speed-test-v3.png)

Performance consideration for v2.0
----------------------------------

[](#performance-consideration-for-v20)

Compared to first version of the library, this version is a bit slower because after merging `TypedObjectArray` with `TypedArray`, there are more code that be executed when new instance is created and on assign operations.

[![Array Speed Test](array-speed-test-v2.png)](array-speed-test-v2.png)

Performance consideration for v1.0
----------------------------------

[](#performance-consideration-for-v10)

Compared to the parent class [ArrayObject](http://php.net/manual/en/class.arrayobject.php) typed arrays are slower on writing approximately from 6x to 8x. The slowness is due to not native `__construct()` and not native `offsetSet()`.
Other operations do not have a speed difference with the native ArrayObject.

```
use Linna\TypedArray;

//slower from 6x to 8x.
$array = new TypedArray('int', [1, 2, 3, 4]);
$array[] = 5;

//other operations, fast as native.
//for example:
$arrayElement = $array[0];
$elements = $array->count();
```
