public final class Primitive extends Object
The Primitive class is a utility class to deal with primitives. Besides widening and unwidening this class casts and parses UTF8 strings into appropriate primitive classes.Copyright (c) 2002-2021 Delft University of Technology, Jaffalaan 5, 2628 BX Delft, the Netherlands.

Method Detail
-
cast
public static Object[] cast(Class<?>[] classes, Object[] values)
casts a set of values to classes.- Parameters:
classes
- Class<?>[]; the classes to cast tovalues
- Object[]; the values- Returns:
- the newly creates values
-
cast
public static Object cast(Class<?> clazz, Object object)
casts an object to a instance of clazz.- Parameters:
clazz
- Class<?>; the class to cast toobject
- Object; the object to cast- Returns:
- Object; the casted object
-
forName
public static Class<?> forName(String className)
returns the primitiveClass of the name given as defined by the Java VM class constants. (i.e. both "int" and "I" return int.class). Both void and "V" return void.class. null is returned whenever an unknown className is given.- Parameters:
className
- String; the className- Returns:
- Class the primitiveClass
-
getPrimitive
public static Class<?> getPrimitive(Class<?> wrapperClass)
gets the primitive of the given wrapperClass.- Parameters:
wrapperClass
- Class<?>; the wrapper class- Returns:
- the primitive Class. null is returned whenever wrapperClass is not a wrapperclass.
-
getWrapper
public static Class<?> getWrapper(Class<?> primitiveClass)
gets the wrapper of this primitive class.- Parameters:
primitiveClass
- Class<?>; the primitive class- Returns:
- the Class. null is returned whenever wrapperClass is not a wrapperclass.
-
toBoolean
public static Boolean toBoolean(Object object)
casts an object to Boolean.- Parameters:
object
- Object; the object- Returns:
- Boolean
-
toByte
public static Byte toByte(Object object)
casts an object to Byte.- Parameters:
object
- Object; the object- Returns:
- Byte
-
toCharacter
public static Character toCharacter(Object object)
casts an object to Character.- Parameters:
object
- Object; the object to parse- Returns:
- Integer the result
-
toDouble
public static Double toDouble(Object object)
casts an object to Double.- Parameters:
object
- Object; the object to parse- Returns:
- Integer the result
-
toFloat
public static Float toFloat(Object object)
casts an object to Float.- Parameters:
object
- Object; the object to parse- Returns:
- Float the result
-
toLong
public static Long toLong(Object object)
casts an object to Long.- Parameters:
object
- Object; the object to parse- Returns:
- Long the result
-
toShort
public static Short toShort(Object object)
casts an object to Short.- Parameters:
object
- Object; the object to parse- Returns:
- Long the result
-
toInteger
public static Integer toInteger(Object object)
casts an object to Integer.- Parameters:
object
- Object; the object to parse- Returns:
- Integer the result
-
isPrimitiveAssignableFrom
public static boolean isPrimitiveAssignableFrom(Class<?> firstClass, Class<?> secondClass)
Returns true when the first class is assignable from the second class, e.g. when firstClass is Number and secondClass is Integer, the result is true (a number is assignable from an integer, i.e. Number n = Integer.valueOf(4) will work, but Integer i = new Number(4) will not work). This method also takes into account primitive types, so when firstClass is Number, and secondClass is int, the result is true, or when the firstClass is int, and the second class is Integer / firstClass is Integer and secondClass is int, the result will also be true.- Parameters:
firstClass
- Class<?>; the class to which secondClass should be assignablesecondClass
- Class<?>; the class from which firstClass should be assignable- Returns:
- firstClass.isAssignableFrom(secondClass) taking into acount primitive types
