All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable

public class Decimal

extends Number

implements Comparable

This class provides a Java implementation of the Tuxedo packed decimal type. Packed decimals appear only in Tuxedo View buffers. The class methods provide convenience routines to create packed decimals from Strings and numbers and to convert a packed decimal object to a String or number. A Decimal encodes a number as an array of bytes in base-100 and a signed exponent (-64 to +63). The byte array is of fixed size with the implied decimal point to the left of the first byte. The exponent represents powers of 100. A special exponent value DECPOSNULL indicates a Decimal with null (undefined) value.

See Also:

Serialized Form

DECSIZE

public static final int DECSIZE

Size of the array of bytes representing the digits of the Decimal.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

DECPOSNULL

public static final int DECPOSNULL

Exponent value indicating a null Decimal, i.e., a Decimal with undefined value. Null Decimals cannot be compared numerically with other Decimals.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

exponent

public int exponent()

Returns the exponent of the Decimal value. The exponent represents powers of 100.

Returns:

the exponent, from -64 to +63.

sign

public int sign()

Returns the sign of the Decimal value.

Returns:

The sign of the value; 1 indicates a positive value, 0 a negative value and DECPOSNULL a null value.

See Also:

Decimal.DECPOSNULL

numDigits

public int numDigits()

Returns the number of significant digits in the Decimal value.

Returns:

the number of significant digits in the Decimal value.

digits

public byte[] digits()

Returns the actual decimal digits. Each digit is in base-100.

Returns:

an array of bytes representing the actual decimal digits. The decimal point is to the left of the first digit.

negate

public Decimal negate()

Creates a newly allocated Decimal whose value is (-this).

Returns:

a Decimal whose value is (-this). If the original Decimal has a null value, that is, its sign is DECPOSNULL, a new null Decimal is returned.

Decimal.DECPOSNULL

bigDecimalValue

public BigDecimal bigDecimalValue()

Converts the Decimal to a BigDecimal value.

Returns:

the BigDecimal value representing the Decimal. If the Decimal has a null value, a new BigDecimal(Double.MIN_VALUE) is returned.

doubleValue

public double doubleValue()

Converts the Decimal to a double value.

Specified by:

doubleValue in class Number

Returns:

the double value representing the Decimal. If the Decimal has a null value, Double.MIN_VALUE is returned.

floatValue

public float floatValue()
                 throws NumberFormatException

Converts the Decimal to a float value.

Specified by:

floatValue in class Number

Returns:

the float value representing the Decimal. If the Decimal has a null value, Float.MIN_VALUE is returned.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if the Decimal value would cause overflow when converted to a float.

longValue

public long longValue()
               throws NumberFormatException

Converts the Decimal to a long value.

Specified by:

longValue in class Number

Returns:

the long value representing the Decimal. If the Decimal has a null value, Long.MIN_VALUE is returned.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if the Decimal value cannot be represented as a long.

intValue

public int intValue()
             throws NumberFormatException

Converts the Decimal to an int value.

Specified by:

intValue in class Number

Returns:

the int value representing the Decimal. If the Decimal has a null value, Integer.MIN_VALUE is returned.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if the Decimal value cannot be represented as an int.

shortValue

public short shortValue()
                 throws NumberFormatException

Converts the Decimal to a short value.

Overrides:

shortValue in class Number

Returns:

the short value representing the Decimal. If the Decimal has a null value, Short.MIN_VALUE is returned.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if the Decimal value cannot be represented as a short.

byteValue

public byte byteValue()
               throws NumberFormatException

Converts the Decimal to a byte value.

Overrides:

byteValue in class Number

Returns:

the byte value representing the Decimal. If the Decimal has a null value, Byte.MIN_VALUE is returned.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if the Decimal value cannot be represented as a byte.

toString

public String toString()
                throws NumberFormatException

Converts the Decimal to a String. The String is in the format that the Java Double.toString method would generate for an equivalent double value.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

the String value representing the Decimal.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if the Decimal value cannot be represented as a double.

toString

public static String toString(Decimal dec)
                       throws NumberFormatException

Converts the input Decimal to a String. The String is in the format that the Java Double.toString method would generate for an equivalent double value.

Parameters:

dec - the Decimal object to convert.

Returns:

the String value representing the Decimal.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if the Decimal value cannot be represented as a double.

valueOf

public static Decimal valueOf(String s)
                       throws NumberFormatException

Constructs a newly allocated Decimal object from a String value. The String is converted to a Decimal value. The String must be in the format accepted by the Java Double.parseDouble method.

Parameters:

s - the String value to convert.

Returns:

the Decimal value created

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if the value is in the wrong format or would overflow or underflow when converted to Decimal.

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object other)
              throws NumberFormatException

Compares this Decimal object to another object. If the other object is a Decimal, this function behaves like compareTo(Decimal). Otherwise, it throws a ClassCastException.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable

Parameters:

other - the other object to compare

Returns:

the value 0 if the two objects are numerically equal; the value -1 if the current object is numerically less than the other; the value 1 if the current object is numerically greater than the other.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if obj is not a Decimal

NumberFormatException - if either of the objects has a null value, that is, if their exponent is equal to DECPOSNULL.

See Also:

Decimal.DECPOSNULL

compareTo

public int compareTo(Decimal other)
              throws NumberFormatException

Compares two Decimal objects numerically. Neither object can have a null value.

Parameters:

other - a Decimal that is compared against this object.

Returns:

the value 0 if the two objects are numerically equal; the value -1 if the current object is numerically less than other; the value 1 if the current object is numerically greater than other.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if either of the objects has a null value, that is, if their exponent is equal to DECPOSNULL.

See Also:

Decimal.DECPOSNULL

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares this object to another object. The result is true if the other object is non-null and represents a Decimal object with the same value as the current object. The values are equal if the objects have identical bit patterns. Note that null valued Decimals may be compared in this operation (unlike compareTo(Decimal)).

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the other object to compare

Returns:

true if the other object is a Decimal with the same value as the current object.
