Parameters:

aInteger - The integer value to be converted

Returns:

The array of bytes representing the long value.

toLong

public static long toLong(byte[] aBytes)
                   throws IllegalArgumentException

To long.

Parameters:

aBytes - the a bytes

Returns:

the long

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - the illegal argument exception

toLong

public static long toLong(byte[] aBytes,
                          int aOffset)
                   throws IllegalArgumentException

To long.

Parameters:

aBytes - the a bytes

aOffset - the a offset

Returns:

the long

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - the illegal argument exception

toInteger

public static int toInteger(byte[] aBytes)
                     throws IllegalArgumentException

To integer.

Parameters:

aBytes - the a bytes

Returns:

the int

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - the illegal argument exception

toInteger

public static int toInteger(byte[] aBytes,
                            int aOffset)
                     throws IllegalArgumentException

To integer.

Parameters:

aBytes - the a bytes

aOffset - the a offset

Returns:

the int

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - the illegal argument exception

toShorts

public static short[] toShorts(byte[] aBytes)

Converts a byte array to a short array.

Parameters:

aBytes - The bytes to be converted to short.

Returns:

The according short array.

toBytes

public static byte[] toBytes(Double aDouble)

Converts a double value to an array of bytes, left(?) byte being the most significant one (highest order).

Parameters:

aDouble - The double value to be converted

Returns:

The array of bytes representing the double value.

toLong

public static long toLong(String aString)

Creates a long from a String; useful e.g. when creating a number from a pass-phrase.

Parameters:

aString - The String to be converted to a long value.

Returns:

The long value from the String

toDouble

public static double toDouble(String aString)

Creates a double between 0 and 1 from a String; useful e.g. when creating a number from a pass-phrase.

Parameters:

aString - The String to be converted to a double value.

Returns:

The double value between 0 and 1 from the String.

toDoubles

public static double[] toDoubles(String aString,
                                 int aCount)

Creates an array with double values between 0 and 1 from a String ; useful e.g. when creating a bunch of numbers from a pass-phrase.

Parameters:

aString - The String to be converted to a double value.

aCount - The number of doubles to create.

Returns:

The array with double values between 0 and 1 from the String.

toHashCode

public static int toHashCode(Object... aObjects)

Calculates a hash code from the given object's hash codes.

Parameters:

aObjects - The objects for which to calculate the has codes.

Returns:

The hash codes for the given objects.

toUnsignedLong

public static long toUnsignedLong(int aSignedIntValue)

Converts a signed int to an unsigned long value. This is not do a simple ABS function, here we take a look at the bits of the value and calculate which the unsigned (positive) value would be. The positive value is returned in a (signed) long value.

Parameters:

aSignedIntValue - The signed integer value.

Returns:

The unsigned long value.

toBoolean

public static boolean toBoolean(String aValue)
                         throws IllegalArgumentException

Converts the given String to a boolean value. Accepted values for a "true" boolean are "1", "on", "yes", "true". Accepted values for a "false" boolean are "0", "off", "no", "false".

Parameters:

aValue - The text value to be tested whether it represents true or false.

Returns:

True or false depending on the value passed.n

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - in case neither true nor false could be determined.

toMd5Hash

public static String toMd5Hash(String aText)

Generates a md5 hash of the given text.

Parameters:

aText - The text to be md5 hashed.

Returns:

The md5 hashed text.

toScaled

public static double toScaled(double aValue,
                              double aMin,
                              double aMax)

Scales the given value (which must be between 0 .. 1 to be between aMin .. aMax.

Parameters:

aValue - The value between 0 .. 1 to be scaled.

aMin - The min value.

aMax - The max value.

Returns:

A value between aMin ... aMax.

sum

public static int sum(int... aSummands)

Calculates the sum from the provided summands.

Parameters:

aSummands - The summands to be added up.

Returns:

The sum of the provided summands.
