public final class BigIntegerNumber

extends IntegerNumber

Basic implementation of an integer number. This implementation is based on a java.math.BigInteger. It can hold all values from -2**32 to (2**32 - 1).

Instances must be obtained by using the createInstance() factory method.

Constructor Detail

BigIntegerNumber

protected BigIntegerNumber(BigInteger n)
                    throws IllegalArgumentException

Constructs a BigIntegerNumber from a BigInteger.

Parameters:

n - the value for the new number, not null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if n == null.

Method Detail

createInstance

public static BigIntegerNumber createInstance(BigInteger n)
                                       throws IllegalArgumentException

Returns an instance of a BigIntegerNumber based on a java.math.BigInteger.

Parameters:

n - the BigInteger to construct a BigIntegerNumber from.

Returns:

the (possibly newly constructed) BigIntegerNumber instance.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if n == null.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

add

public IntegerNumber add(IntegerNumber n)
                  throws IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from class: IntegerNumber

Computes this + n, where n is an integer number.

Overrides:

add in class IntegerNumber

Tags copied from class: IntegerNumber

Parameters:

n - the number to add to this, not null.

Returns:

the sum of this and n, never null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the argument is null.

multiply

public IntegerNumber multiply(IntegerNumber n)
                       throws IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from class: IntegerNumber

Computes this * n, where n is an integer number.

Overrides:

multiply in class IntegerNumber

Tags copied from class: IntegerNumber

Parameters:

n - the number to multiply this by, not null.

Returns:

the product of this and n, not null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if n == null.

integerDivide

public IntegerNumber integerDivide(IntegerNumber n)
                            throws ArithmeticException,
                                   IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from class: IntegerNumber

Computes the integer result of this/n, where n is an integer number.

Overrides:

integerDivide in class IntegerNumber

Tags copied from class: IntegerNumber

Parameters:

n - the number to divide this by.

Returns:

the integer result of this divided by n.

Throws:

ArithmeticException - if the value of the argument number is zero.

IllegalArgumentException - if the argument is null.

longValue

public long longValue()

Description copied from class: RealNumber

Returns the value of this number as a long. This may involve rounding.

Overrides:

longValue in class RealNumber

Tags copied from class: RealNumber

Returns:

the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type long.

doubleValue

public double doubleValue()

Description copied from class: RealNumber

Returns the value of this number as a double. This may involve rounding.

Overrides:

doubleValue in class RationalNumber

Tags copied from class: RealNumber

Returns:

the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type double.

toByteArray

public byte[] toByteArray()

Description copied from class: IntegerNumber

Returns the two's-complement representation of this integer number. The array is big-endian (i.e., the most significant byte is in the [0] position). The array contains the minimum number of bytes required to represent the number.

Overrides:

toByteArray in class IntegerNumber

Tags copied from class: IntegerNumber

Returns:

a byte array containing the bits of this integer number.

toBigInteger

public BigInteger toBigInteger()

Description copied from class: IntegerNumber

Converts the value of this number to a BigInteger.

Overrides:

toBigInteger in class IntegerNumber

Tags copied from class: IntegerNumber

Returns:

a BigInteger with the value of this.
