- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static PrimitiveType[] 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 (PrimitiveType c : PrimitiveType.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static PrimitiveType valueOf(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:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - primitiveName
```
public String primitiveName()
```
    The name of the primitive type as a String.
    
    Returns:
    
    the name as a String
  - size
```
public int size()
```
    The encodedLength of the primitive type in octets.
    
    Returns:
    
    encodedLength (in octets) of the primitive type
  - minValue
```
public PrimitiveValue minValue()
```
    The minValue of the primitive type.
    
    Returns:
    
    default minValue of the primitive type
  - maxValue
```
public PrimitiveValue maxValue()
```
    The maxValue of the primitive type.
    
    Returns:
    
    default maxValue of the primitive type
  - nullValue
```
public PrimitiveValue nullValue()
```
    The nullValue of the primitive type.
    
    Returns:
    
    default nullValue of the primitive type
  - isUnsigned
```
public static boolean isUnsigned(PrimitiveType type)
```
    Is the type an unsigned type like in C.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - to be tested.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if unsigned otherwise false.
  - get
```
public static PrimitiveType get(String name)
```
    Lookup PrimitiveType by String name and return Enum.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - of primitiveType to get
    
    Returns:
    
    the PrimitiveType matching the name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if name not found
