Constructor Detail

NumberUtils

public NumberUtils()

Deprecated.

NumberUtils instances should NOT be constructed in standard programming. Instead, the class should be used as NumberUtils.stringToInt("6");.

This constructor is public to permit tools that require a JavaBean instance to operate.

Method Detail

stringToInt

public static int stringToInt(java.lang.String str)

Deprecated.

Convert a String to an int, returning zero if the conversion fails.

Parameters:

str - the string to convert

Returns:

the int represented by the string, or zero if conversion fails

stringToInt

public static int stringToInt(java.lang.String str,
                              int defaultValue)

Deprecated.

Convert a String to an int, returning a default value if the conversion fails.

Parameters:

str - the string to convert

defaultValue - the default value

Returns:

the int represented by the string, or the default if conversion fails

createNumber

public static java.lang.Number createNumber(java.lang.String val)
                                     throws java.lang.NumberFormatException

Deprecated.

Turns a string value into a java.lang.Number.

First, the value is examined for a type qualifier on the end ('f','F','d','D','l','L'). If it is found, it starts trying to create successively larger types from the type specified until one is found that can hold the value.

If a type specifier is not found, it will check for a decimal point and then try successively larger types from Integer to BigInteger and from Float to BigDecimal.

If the string starts with 0x or -0x, it will be interpreted as a hexadecimal integer. Values with leading 0's will not be interpreted as octal.

Parameters:

val - String containing a number

Returns:

Number created from the string

Throws:

java.lang.NumberFormatException - if the value cannot be converted

createFloat

public static java.lang.Float createFloat(java.lang.String val)

Deprecated.

Convert a String to a Float.

Parameters:

val - a String to convert

Returns:

converted Float

Throws:

java.lang.NumberFormatException - if the value cannot be converted

createDouble

public static java.lang.Double createDouble(java.lang.String val)

Deprecated.

Convert a String to a Double.

Parameters:

val - a String to convert

Returns:

converted Double

Throws:

java.lang.NumberFormatException - if the value cannot be converted

createInteger

public static java.lang.Integer createInteger(java.lang.String val)

Deprecated.

Convert a String to a Integer, handling hex and octal notations.

Parameters:

val - a String to convert

Returns:

converted Integer

Throws:

java.lang.NumberFormatException - if the value cannot be converted

createLong

public static java.lang.Long createLong(java.lang.String val)

Deprecated.

Convert a String to a Long.

Parameters:

val - a String to convert

Returns:

Throws:

java.lang.NumberFormatException - if the value cannot be converted

createBigInteger

public static java.math.BigInteger createBigInteger(java.lang.String val)

compare

public static int compare(double lhs,

Deprecated.

Compares two doubles for order.

This method is more comprehensive than the standard Java greater than, less than and equals operators.

• It returns -1 if the first value is less than the second.
• It returns +1 if the first value is greater than the second.
• It returns 0 if the values are equal.

The ordering is as follows, largest to smallest:

• NaN
• Positive infinity
• Maximum double
• Normal positive numbers
• +0.0
• -0.0
• Normal negative numbers
• Minimum double (-Double.MAX_VALUE)
• Negative infinity

Comparing NaN with NaN will return 0.

Parameters:

lhs - the first double

rhs - the second double

Returns:

-1 if lhs is less, +1 if greater, 0 if equal to rhs

compare

public static int compare(float lhs,
                          float rhs)

Deprecated.

Compares two floats for order.

This method is more comprehensive than the standard Java greater than, less than and equals operators.

• It returns -1 if the first value is less than the second.
• It returns +1 if the first value is greater than the second.
• It returns 0 if the values are equal.

The ordering is as follows, largest to smallest:

• NaN
• Positive infinity
• Maximum float
• Normal positive numbers
• +0.0
• -0.0
• Normal negative numbers
• Minimum float (-Float.MAX_VALUE)
• Negative infinity

Comparing NaN with NaN will return 0.

Parameters:

lhs - the first float

rhs - the second float

Returns:

-1 if lhs is less, +1 if greater, 0 if equal to rhs

isDigits

public static boolean isDigits(java.lang.String str)

Deprecated.

Checks whether the String contains only digit characters.

Null and empty String will return false.

Parameters:

str - the String to check

Returns:

true if str contains only unicode numeric

isNumber

public static boolean isNumber(java.lang.String str)

Deprecated.

Checks whether the String a valid Java number.

Valid numbers include hexadecimal marked with the 0x qualifier, scientific notation and numbers marked with a type qualifier (e.g. 123L).

Null and empty String will return false.

Parameters:

str - the String to check

Returns:

true if the string is a correctly formatted number
