CassandraUInt (apache-cassandra API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.cassandra.utils.CassandraUInt

```
public class CassandraUInt
extends java.lang.Object
```
This class packages several UInt utility methods so we can easily change it's implementation when needed.

Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static int`	`compare(int x, int y)`	Compare 2 Uints
`static int`	`fromLong(long value)`	Converts a long to it's unsigned integer representation
`static int[]`	`fromLong(long[] values)`	The same but works on an array on longs
`static long`	`toLong(int value)`	Returns the long resulting from parsing the int as an unsigned integer

public CassandraUInt()
```
- Method Detail
  - fromLong
```
public static int fromLong(long value)
```
    Converts a long to it's unsigned integer representation
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - A long between 0 and 2³²-1 inclusive
    
    Returns:
    
    an unsigned integer representation of the long
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if value '< 0' or '>= 2³²'
  - fromLong
```
public static int[] fromLong(long[] values)
```
    The same but works on an array on longs
  - toLong
```
public static long toLong(int value)
```
    Returns the long resulting from parsing the int as an unsigned integer
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - Unsigned integer representation of the long
    
    Returns:
    
    The long resulting from parsing the int as an unsigned integer
  - compare
```
public static int compare(int x,
                          int y)
```
    Compare 2 Uints
    
    Returns:
    
    < 0 if x is less than y. > 0 if x is greater than y. Zero if they are equal
