Field Detail

MIN_VALUE

public static final float MIN_VALUE

The smallest positive value of type float.

MAX_VALUE

public static final float MAX_VALUE

The largest positive value of type float.

NEGATIVE_INFINITY

public static final float NEGATIVE_INFINITY

The negative infinity of type float.

POSITIVE_INFINITY

public static final float POSITIVE_INFINITY

The positive infinity of type float.

NaN

public static final float NaN

A NaN (Not a Number) value of type float.

TYPE

public static final java.lang.Class TYPE

The class of this static object [...]. Provides a convenient way to check or compare the type.

TRAILING_ZEROS

public static final int TRAILING_ZEROS

When converting a double to a string, this constant specifies that result should contain leading zeros.

SIGNIFICANT_PRECISION

public static final int SIGNIFICANT_PRECISION

When converting a double to a string with specified precision, this constant indicates that the value of the precision specifies the number of significants [...]. By default does the precision specfify number of decimals.

ALWAYS_PERIOD

public static final int ALWAYS_PERIOD

When converting a double to a string, this constant indicates that the result should always contain a period even if there is no digits following the period [...]. The result of a conversion using this control constans could be "1234.".

SUPPRESS_PERIOD

public static final int SUPPRESS_PERIOD

When converting a double to a string, this constant indicates that the result should suppress the period if there is no digits following the period [...]. The result of a conversion using this control constans could be "1234".

Constructor Detail

FloatVariable

public FloatVariable()

FloatVariable

public FloatVariable(float f)

Wraps a float into an object just like java.lang.Float does, but provides some additional methods.

Method Detail

newArray

public static FloatVariable[] newArray(int length)

Creates an array of length instance of this class.

set

public void set(float f)

Set a new value [...]. This is better than creating a new object all the time.

set

public void set(java.lang.Object o)

Specified by:

set in interface Variable

Overrides:

set in class NumberVariable

get

public java.lang.Object get()

Specified by:

get in interface Variable

Overrides:

get in class NumberVariable

byteValue

public byte byteValue()

Return the wrapped value as a byte.

Overrides:

byteValue in class java.lang.Number

shortValue

public short shortValue()

Return the wrapped value as a short.

Overrides:

shortValue in class java.lang.Number

intValue

public int intValue()

Return the wrapped value as an int.

Overrides:

intValue in class java.lang.Number

longValue

public long longValue()

Return the wrapped value as a long.

Overrides:

longValue in class java.lang.Number

floatValue

public float floatValue()

Return the wrapped value as a float.

Overrides:

floatValue in class java.lang.Number

doubleValue

public double doubleValue()

Return the wrapped value as a double.

Overrides:

doubleValue in class java.lang.Number

toString

public static java.lang.String toString(float value)

Convert a float into a string [...]. Default precision is 6 decimals.

toString

public static java.lang.String toString(float value,
                                        int minWidth,
                                        int precision,
                                        int flags)
