All Known Implementing Classes:

GeneralDecimaliser, MaximumPrecision, SimpleDecimaliser, StandardDecimaliser, UsesBigDecimal

public interface Decimaliser

Provides functionality for converting floating-point values (double and float) into a decimal representation that can be appended to a target.

This interface offers multiple strategies for converting floating-point numbers, including a light-weight approach and a more precise, BigDecimal-based implementation.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	toDecimal(double value, DecimalAppender decimalAppender) Converts a double value to its decimal representation and appends it using the provided DecimalAppender.
boolean	toDecimal(float value, DecimalAppender decimalAppender) Converts a float value to its decimal representation and appends it using the provided DecimalAppender.

Method Detail

toDecimal

boolean toDecimal(double value,
                  DecimalAppender decimalAppender)

Converts a double value to its decimal representation and appends it using the provided DecimalAppender.

The DecimalAppender should have been implemented to accept the sign, mantissa, and exponent of the decimal representation, and append them accordingly.

Parameters:

value - The double value to be converted.

decimalAppender - The DecimalAppender used to store and append the converted decimal value.

Returns:

true if the conversion and appending were successful, false otherwise.

toDecimal

boolean toDecimal(float value,
                  DecimalAppender decimalAppender)

Converts a float value to its decimal representation and appends it using the provided DecimalAppender.

The DecimalAppender should have been implemented to accept the sign, mantissa, and exponent of the decimal representation, and append them accordingly.

Parameters:

value - The float value to be converted.

decimalAppender - The DecimalAppender used to store and append the converted decimal value.

Returns:

true if the conversion and appending were successful, false otherwise.
