Class Decimal

java.lang.Object
  ewe.data.DataObject
      ewe.sys.Decimal

All Implemented Interfaces:

ByteDecodable, ByteEncodable, Comparable, Copyable, DataUnit, Stringable, Value

public class Decimal

extends DataObject

implements Value, ByteEncodable, ByteDecodable

A Decimal is a mutable version of BigDecimal. It contains a BigDecimal within itself which you can access and replace with a new value if needed.

Constructor Summary

Decimal()

Decimal(BigDecimal bd)

Decimal(double value)

Decimal(String str)

Method Summary

int	compareTo(Object other) Compare this object with another.
void	copyFrom(Object other) Copy all appropriate data from another object.
int	decodeBytes(byte[] source, int offset, int length) This requests the Object to decode itself from a stream of bytes.
int	encodeBytes(ByteArray dest) This requests the Object to encode itself as a stream of bytes which is appended to the destination ByteArray.
void	fromString(String value)
BigDecimal	getBigDecimal()
Object	getCopy() Return a copy of this object.
void	setBigDecimal(BigDecimal bd)
Decimal	setDouble(double value)
String	toString() Return a String representation of this object.

Method Detail

getCopy

public Object getCopy()

Description copied from interface: Copyable

Return a copy of this object.

Specified by:

getCopy in interface Copyable

Overrides:

getCopy in class DataObject

copyFrom

public void copyFrom(Object other)

Description copied from interface: DataUnit

Copy all appropriate data from another object.

Specified by:

copyFrom in interface DataUnit

Overrides:

copyFrom in class DataObject

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object other)

Description copied from interface: Comparable

Compare this object with another. It should return: less than 0 if this object is considered LESS than the "other" object; greater than 0 if this object is considered GREATER than the "other" object; 0 if this object is considered EQUAL to the "other" object. (i.e. it is an implicit subtraction).

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable

Overrides:

compareTo in class DataObject

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Object

Return a String representation of this object.

Specified by:

toString in interface Stringable

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a String representing this object.

fromString

public void fromString(String value)

Specified by:

fromString in interface Stringable

getBigDecimal

public BigDecimal getBigDecimal()

setBigDecimal

public void setBigDecimal(BigDecimal bd)

encodeBytes

public int encodeBytes(ByteArray dest)

Description copied from interface: ByteEncodable

This requests the Object to encode itself as a stream of bytes which is appended to the destination ByteArray. If the destination ByteArray is null, then the object should report how many bytes would be used if the object was encoded.

Specified by:

encodeBytes in interface ByteEncodable

Parameters:

dest - The destination ByteArray, or null to determine the number of bytes needed to encode.

Returns:

The number of bytes appended to the ByteArray or the number of bytes needed to encode.

decodeBytes

public int decodeBytes(byte[] source,
                       int offset,
                       int length)

Description copied from interface: ByteDecodable

This requests the Object to decode itself from a stream of bytes.

Specified by:

decodeBytes in interface ByteDecodable

Parameters:

source - The source of the encoded bytes.

offset - Where the object should start decoding from.

length - The number of bytes left starting from startOffsetInSource.

Returns:

the number of bytes decoded.

setDouble

public Decimal setDouble(double value)
