This article is series of Java Lang Package tutorial. In this tutorial, we will discuss the important and commonly used Number class methods with examples.
The java.lang.Number class is the superclass of classes BigDecimal, BigInteger, Byte, Double, Float, Integer, Long, and Short. The Subclasses of Number must provide methods to convert the represented numeric value to byte, double, float, int, long, and short.
Check out below Java Core API packages tutorials:
Java Number Class Methods
- byte byteValue() - Returns the value of the specified number as a byte, which may involve rounding or truncation.
- abstract double doubleValue() - Returns the value of the specified number as a double, which may involve rounding.
- abstract float floatValue() - Returns the value of the specified number as a float, which may involve rounding.
- abstract int intValue() - Returns the value of the specified number as an int, which may involve rounding or truncation.
- abstract long longValue() - Returns the value of the specified number as a long, which may involve rounding or truncation.
- short shortValue() - Returns the value of the specified number as a short, which may involve rounding or truncation.
Java Number Class Methods/APIs with Examples
byte byteValue()
This method returns the value of the specified number as a byte, which may involve rounding or truncation.
public void byteValueMethod() {
// get a number as integer
Number x = new Integer(123456);
// get a number as float
Number y = new Float(9876f);
// print their value as byte
System.out.println("x as integer:" + x + ", x as byte:" + x.byteValue());
System.out.println("y as float:" + y + ", y as byte:" + y.byteValue());
}
Output:
x as integer:123456, x as byte:64
y as float:9876.0, y as byte:-108abstract double doubleValue()
This method returns the value of the specified number as a double, which may involve rounding.
public void doubleValueMethod() {
// get a number as integer
Number x = new Integer(123456);
// get a number as float
Number y = new Float(9876f);
// print their value as double
System.out.println("x as integer :" + x + ", x as double:" + x.doubleValue());
System.out.println("y as float::" + y + ", y as double:" + y.doubleValue());
}
Output:
x as integer :123456, x as double:123456.0
y as float::9876.0, y as double:9876.0abstract float floatValue()
This method returns the value of the specified number as a float, which may involve rounding.
public void floatValueMethod() {
// get a number as integer
Number x = new Integer(123456);
// get a number as double
Number y = new Double(9876);
// print their value as float
System.out.println("x as integer:" + x + ", x as float:" + x.floatValue());
System.out.println("y as double:" + y + ", y as float:" + y.floatValue());
}
Output:
x as integer:123456, x as float:123456.0
y as double:9876.0, y as float:9876.0abstract int intValue()
This method returns the value of the specified number as an int, which may involve rounding or truncation.
public void intValueMethod() {
// get a number as float
Number x = new Float(123456f);
// get a number as double
Number y = new Double(9876);
// print their value as int
System.out.println("x as float:" + x + ", x as Integer:" + x.intValue());
System.out.println("y as double:" + y + ", y as Integer:" + y.intValue());
}
Output:
x as float:123456.0, x as Integer:123456
y as double:9876.0, y as Integer:9876abstract long longValue()
This method returns the value of the specified number as a long, which may involve rounding or truncation.
public void longValueMethod() {
// get a number as float
Number x = new Float(123456f);
// get a number as double
Number y = new Double(9876);
// print their value as long
System.out.println("x as float:" + x + ", x as long:" + x.longValue());
System.out.println("y as double:" + y + ", y as long:" + y.longValue());
}
Output:
x as float:123456.0, x as long:123456
y as double:9876.0, y as long:9876short shortValue()
This method returns the value of the specified number as a short, which may involve rounding or truncation.
public void shortValueMethod() {
// get a number as float
Number x = new Float(123456f);
// get a number as double
Number y = new Double(9876);
// print their value as short
System.out.println("x as float :" + x + ", x as short:" + x.shortValue());
System.out.println("y as double:" + y + ", y as short:" + y.shortValue());
}
Output:
x as float :123456.0, x as short:-7616
y as double:9876.0, y as short:9876Complete Example
