Constructor Detail

Product

protected Product(RealNumber a,
                  RealNumber b)
           throws IllegalArgumentException

Constructs a Product based on the 2 specified operands.

Parameters:

a - the first operand for the product, not null.

b - the second operand for the product, not null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if a == null || b == null.

Method Detail

createInstance

public static Product createInstance(RealNumber a,
                                     RealNumber b)
                              throws IllegalArgumentException

Returns a Product with the specified operands.

Parameters:

a - the first operand, not null.

b - the second operand, not null.

Returns:

the Product instance, possibly newly constructed, never null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if a == null || b == null.

determineSign

protected static int determineSign(RealNumber a,
                                   RealNumber b)
                            throws IllegalArgumentException

Computes the sign of a product with the specified operands.

Parameters:

a - the first operand, not null.

b - the second operand, not null.

Returns:

the sign for the product of a and b.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if a == null || b == null.

toBigDecimal

public BigDecimal toBigDecimal(int precision,
                               int roundingMode)
                        throws IllegalArgumentException

Converts the value of this number to a BigDecimal with the specified precision and rounding mode.

Overrides:

toBigDecimal in class RealNumber

Parameters:

precision - the number of digits behind the decimal point, >= 0.

roundingMode - the rounding mode to use, one of the modes defined in class BigDecimal.

Returns:

a BigDecimal with the rounded value of this number, never null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if precision < 0 or if the rounding mode is not one of the valid rounding modes defined in BigDecimal.

trunc

public IntegerNumber trunc()

Rounds to an integer number towards 0.

Overrides:

trunc in class RealNumber

Returns:

this number truncated to an integer, not null.
