Class UnsignedInteger8

public class UnsignedInteger8 extends Number implements Comparable<UnsignedInteger8>

The UnsignedInteger8 class wraps the value of an uint8. This class was created to represent an uint8 data type as defined by the CIM Infrastructure Specification. The specification is available from the DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) at http://dmtf.org/
Field Summary
static shortMAX_VALUE
The maximum possible value for an UnsignedInteger8.
static shortMIN_VALUE
The minimum possible value for an UnsignedInteger8.
Constructor Summary
UnsignedInteger8(short pValue)
Constructs an unsigned 8-bit integer object for the specified short value.
UnsignedInteger8(String pValue)
Constructs an unsigned 8-bit integer object for the specified string.
Method Summary
intcompareTo(UnsignedInteger8 pOther)
Compares this UnsignedInteger8 with the specified UnsignedInteger8.

Field Detail

MAX_VALUE

public static final short MAX_VALUE
The maximum possible value for an UnsignedInteger8.

MIN_VALUE

public static final short MIN_VALUE
The minimum possible value for an UnsignedInteger8.

Constructor Detail

UnsignedInteger8

public UnsignedInteger8(short pValue)
Constructs an unsigned 8-bit integer object for the specified short value. Only the lower 8 bits are considered.

Parameters: pValue - the short to be represented as an unsigned 8-bit integer object.

Throws: NumberFormatException - if the number is out of range.

UnsignedInteger8

public UnsignedInteger8(String pValue)
Constructs an unsigned 8-bit integer object for the specified string. Only the lower 8 bits are considered.

Parameters: pValue - the string to be represented as an unsigned 8-bit integer.

Throws: NumberFormatException - if the number is out of range.

Method Detail

compareTo

public int compareTo(UnsignedInteger8 pOther)
Compares this UnsignedInteger8 with the specified UnsignedInteger8. This method is provided in preference to individual methods for each of the six boolean comparison operators (<, ==, >, >=, !=, <=). The suggested idiom for performing these comparisons is: (x.compareTo(y) <op> 0), where <op> is one of the six comparison operators.

Parameters: pOther - Object to which this UnsignedInteger8 is to be compared. Throws a ClassCastException if the input object is not an UnsignedInteger8.

Returns: -1, 0 or 1 as this UnsignedInteger8 is numerically less than, equal to, or greater than val.
