Enum Constant Detail

INT

public static final IntegerSize INT

Fits in the Java int primitive (four bytes). The value can be retrieved through methods like IonReader.intValue() or IonInt.intValue() without data loss.

LONG

public static final IntegerSize LONG

Fits in the Java int primitive (eight bytes). The value can be retrieved through methods like IonReader.longValue() or IonInt.longValue() without data loss.

BIG_INTEGER

public static final IntegerSize BIG_INTEGER

Larger than eight bytes. This value can be retrieved through methods like IonReader.bigIntegerValue() or IonInt.bigIntegerValue() without data loss.

Method Detail

values

public static IntegerSize[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (IntegerSize c : IntegerSize.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static IntegerSize valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
