parseByte

public static byte parseByte(String s)
                      throws NumberFormatException
Assuming the specified String represents a byte, returns that byte's value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a byte. The radix is assumed to be 10.
Parameters:
s - the String containing the byte
Throws:
NumberFormatException - If the string does not contain a parsable byte.

parseByte

public static byte parseByte(String s,
                             int radix)
                      throws NumberFormatException
Assuming the specified String represents a byte, returns that byte's value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a byte.
Parameters:
s - the String containing the byte
radix - the radix to be used
Throws:
NumberFormatException - If the String does not contain a parsable byte.

valueOf

public static Byte valueOf(String s,
                           int radix)
                    throws NumberFormatException
Assuming the specified String represents a byte, returns a new Byte object initialized to that value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a byte.
Parameters:
s - the String containing the integer
radix - the radix to be used
Throws:
NumberFormatException - If the String does not contain a parsable byte.

valueOf

public static Byte valueOf(String s)
                    throws NumberFormatException
Assuming the specified String represents a byte, returns a new Byte object initialized to that value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a byte. The radix is assumed to be 10.
Parameters:
s - the String containing the integer
Throws:
NumberFormatException - If the String does not contain a parsable byte.

decode

public static Byte decode(String nm)
                   throws NumberFormatException

the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type int.

longValue

public long longValue()
Returns the value of this Byte as a long.
Overrides:
longValue in class Number
Tags copied from class: Number
Returns:
the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type long.

floatValue

public float floatValue()

toString

public String toString()
Returns a String object representing this Byte's value.
Overrides:
toString in class Object
Tags copied from class: Object
Returns:
a string representation of the object.

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns a hashcode for this Byte.
Overrides:
hashCode in class Object
Tags copied from class: Object
Returns:
a hash code value for this object.
See Also:
Object.equals(java.lang.Object), Hashtable

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)
Compares this object to the specified object.
Overrides:
equals in class Object
Parameters:
obj - the object to compare with
Returns:
true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.

compareTo

public int compareTo(Byte anotherByte)
Compares two Bytes numerically.
Parameters:
anotherByte - the Byte to be compared.
Returns:
the value 0 if the argument Byte is equal to this Byte; a value less than 0 if this Byte is numerically less than the Byte argument; and a value greater than 0 if this Byte is numerically greater than the Byte argument (signed comparison).
Since:
JDK1.2

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object o)
Compares this Byte to another Object. If the Object is a Byte, this function behaves like compareTo(Byte). Otherwise, it throws a ClassCastException (as Bytes are comparable only to other Bytes).
Specified by:
compareTo in interface Comparable
Parameters:
o - the Object to be compared.
Returns:
the value 0 if the argument is a Byte numerically equal to this Byte; a value less than 0 if the argument is a Byte numerically greater than this Byte; and a value greater than 0 if the argument is a Byte numerically less than this Byte.
Throws:
ClassCastException - if the argument is not a Byte.
