Class ConfEBig

Object

com.tailf.proto.ConfEObject

com.tailf.proto.ConfEBig

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public class ConfEBig
extends ConfEObject
implements Serializable, Cloneable

Provides a Java representation of E integral types. E does not distinguish between different integral types, however this class and its subclasses ConfEByte, ConfEChar, ConfEInt, and ConfEShort attempt to map the E types onto the various Java integral types. Two additional classes, ConfEUInt and ConfEUShort are provided for Corba compatibility. See the documentation for IC for more information.

Parameters:

val -

ConfEBig

public ConfEBig(ConfInputStream buf)
         throws ConfEDecodeException

Create an E integer from a stream containing an integer encoded in E external format.

Parameters:

buf - the stream containing the encoded value.

Throws:

ConfEDecodeException - if the buffer does not contain a valid external representation of an E integer.

Method Detail

public BigInteger bigValue()

Get this number as a BigInteger.

Returns:

the value of this number, as a BigInteger.

longValue

public long longValue()

Get this number as a long

Returns:

the value of this number, as a long.

floatValue

public float floatValue()

Get this number as a float.

Returns:

the value of this number, as a long.

toString

public String toString()

Get the string representation of this number.

Specified by:

toString in class ConfEObject

Returns:

the string representation of this number.

encode

public void encode(ConfOutputStream buf)

Convert this number to the equivalent E external representation.

Specified by:

encode in class ConfEObject

Parameters:

buf - an output stream to which the encoded number should be written.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Determine if two numbers are equal. Numbers are equal if they contain the same value.

Specified by:

equals in class ConfEObject

Parameters:

o - the number to compare to.

Returns:

true if the numbers have the same value.
