public Convert()

Method Detail

intToBytes

public static byte[] intToBytes(int[] ints)

Converts an array of ints to an array of bytes. Each integer is cut into four byte-size pieces, making the resulting byte array four times the length of the input int array.

Parameters:

ints - The array of ints to be converted to a byte array

Returns:

An array of bytes corresponding to the original int array.

bytesToInt

public static int[] bytesToInt(byte[] bytes)

Converts an array of bytes to an array of ints. Each group of four bytes form a single int, making the resulting int array one fourth the length of the input byte array. Note that trailing elements of the bytes array will be ignored.

Parameters:

bytes - The array of bytes to be converted to an int array

Returns:

An array of ints corresponding to the original byte array.

encodeRLE

public static int[] encodeRLE(int[] array)

Encodes the given array of ints using a run-length scheme.

Parameters:

array - The array of ints to RLE-encode

Returns:

An RLE-encoded array of ints.

decodeRLE

public static int[] decodeRLE(int[] array)

Decodes the given array of ints from a run-length encoding.

Parameters:

array - The RLE-encoded array of ints to decode

Returns:

A decoded array of ints.

getDouble

public static double getDouble(java.lang.String s)

Extracts a double from a string.

getFloat

public static float getFloat(java.lang.String s)

Extracts a float from a string.

getBoolean

public static boolean getBoolean(java.lang.String s)

Extracts a boolean from a string.

getInt

public static int getInt(java.lang.String s)

Extracts an integer from a string.

shortString

public static java.lang.String shortString(double val)

Gets a reasonably short string representation of a double for use in a graphical user interface. The number will be rounded to the nearest integer.

shortString

public static java.lang.String shortString(double val,
                                           int mode)

Gets a reasonably short string representation of a double for use in a graphical user interface. Mode indicates the method used to deal insignificant digits: ROUND_NEAREST, ROUND_UP or ROUND_DOWN.
