Method Detail

convertNumberToTargetClass

public static Number convertNumberToTargetClass(Number number,
                                                Class targetClass)
                                         throws 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:
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

parseNumber

public static Number parseNumber(String text,
                                 Class targetClass)
Parse the given text into a number instance of the given target class, using the corresponding default decode methods. Trims the input String before attempting to parse the number. Supports numbers in hex format (with leading 0x) and in octal format (with leading 0).

Parameters:
text - the text to convert
targetClass - the target class to parse into
Returns:
the parsed number
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the target class is not supported (i.e. not a standard Number subclass as included in the JDK)
See Also:
Byte.decode(java.lang.String), Short.decode(java.lang.String), Integer.decode(java.lang.String), Long.decode(java.lang.String), decodeBigInteger(String), Float.valueOf(java.lang.String), Double.valueOf(java.lang.String), BigDecimal.BigDecimal(String)

parseNumber

public static Number parseNumber(String text,
                                 Class targetClass,
                                 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:
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), parseNumber(String, Class)
