convertNumberToTargetClass

public static <T extends java.lang.Number> T convertNumberToTargetClass(java.lang.Number number,
                                                        java.lang.Class<T> targetClass)
                                                             throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Convert the given number into an instance of the given target class.

Parameters:

number - the number to convert

targetClass - the target class to convert to

Returns:

the converted number

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the target class is not supported (i.e. not a standard Number subclass as included in the JDK)

See Also:

Byte, Short, Integer, Long, BigInteger, Float, Double, BigDecimal

raiseOverflowException

private static void raiseOverflowException(java.lang.Number number,
                          java.lang.Class targetClass)

Raise an overflow exception for the given number and target class.

Parameters:

number - the number we tried to convert

targetClass - the target class we tried to convert to

parseNumber

public static <T extends java.lang.Number> T parseNumber(java.lang.String text,
                                         java.lang.Class<T> targetClass)

Parse the given text into a number instance of the given target class, using the corresponding decode / valueOf methods.

Trims the input String before attempting to parse the number. Supports numbers in hex format (with leading "0x", "0X" or "#") as well.

Parameters:

text - the text to convert

targetClass - the target class to parse into

Returns:

the parsed number

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the target class is not supported (i.e. not a standard Number subclass as included in the JDK)

parseNumber

public static <T extends java.lang.Number> T parseNumber(java.lang.String text,
                                         java.lang.Class<T> targetClass,
                                         java.text.NumberFormat numberFormat)

Parse the given text into a number instance of the given target class, using the given NumberFormat. Trims the input String before attempting to parse the number.

Parameters:

text - the text to convert

targetClass - the target class to parse into

numberFormat - the NumberFormat to use for parsing (if null, this method falls back to parseNumber(String, Class))

Returns:

the parsed number

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the target class is not supported (i.e. not a standard Number subclass as included in the JDK)

See Also:

NumberFormat.parse(java.lang.String, java.text.ParsePosition), convertNumberToTargetClass(java.lang.Number, java.lang.Class<T>), parseNumber(String, Class)

isHexNumber

private static boolean isHexNumber(java.lang.String value)

Determine whether the given value String indicates a hex number, i.e. needs to be passed into Integer.decode instead of Integer.valueOf (etc).

decodeBigInteger

private static java.math.BigInteger decodeBigInteger(java.lang.String value)

Decode a BigInteger from a String value. Supports decimal, hex and octal notation.

BigInteger.BigInteger(String, int)
