Constructor Detail

NumberUtils

public NumberUtils()

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(String str)

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

If the string is null, zero is returned.

Parameters:
str - the string to convert, may be null
Returns:
the int represented by the string, or zero if conversion fails

stringToInt

public static int stringToInt(String str,
                              int defaultValue)

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

If the string is null, the default value is returned.

Parameters:
str - the string to convert, may be null
defaultValue - the default value
Returns:
the int represented by the string, or the default if conversion fails

createNumber

public static Number createNumber(String str)
                           throws NumberFormatException

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 represent 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.

Returns null if the string is null.

This method does not trim the input string, i.e., strings with leading or trailing spaces will generate NumberFormatExceptions.

Parameters:
str - String containing a number, may be null
Returns:
Number created from the string
Throws:
NumberFormatException - if the value cannot be converted
