Stack Overflow Questions
I am learning GoF Java Design Patterns and I want to see some real life examples of them. Can you guys point to some good usage of these Design Patterns.(preferably in Java's core libraries). Thank you
I'd like to display the binary (or hexadecimal) representation of a floating point number. I know how to convert by hand (using the method here), but I'm interested in seeing code samples that do the same. Although I'm particularly interested in the C++ and Java solutions, I wonder if any languages make it particularly easy so I'm making this language agnostic. I'd love to see some solutions...
the following code throws NPE for me: int num = Integer.getInteger("123"); is my compiler invoking getInteger on null since it's static? that doesn't make any sense! can someone explain what's happening? thanks.
Possible Duplicate: How to convert a hexadecimal string to long in java? I know that Java can't handle this: Integer.parseInt("0x64") Instead you have to do this: Integer.parseInt("64", 16) Is there something built into Java that can automatically parse integer strings for me using the standard prefixes for hex, octal, and lack of prefix for decimal (so that I don't have to str...
I'm trying to find the sum of the prime numbers < 2,000,000. This is my solution in java but I can't seem get the correct answer. Please give some input on what could be wrong and general advice on the code is appreciated. Printing 'sum' gives: 1308111344, which is incorrect. edit: Thanks for all the help. Changed int to long and < to <= and it worked flawlessly, except for being an...
I am curious. Why do I have to type String myStr with a capital letter whereas I type int aNumba with a lower-case letter?
I have a list of strings in Java which are being written to a text file. These strings are each tagged with a type -- in this case, I'll I'm interested are strings containing longs and ints. I'd like to convert these strings back to a numeric type before writing them, but I'd like to minimize code duplication. I plan on parsing every string tagged as an integer or long integer using Long.parseL...
I'm using eclipse java ee to perform java programming. I had the following line of code in one of my functions: Long result = -1; I got the following error: Type mismatch: cannot convert from int to Long I can't quite understand why when i add a number to the variable it provides this error. How can this issue be resolved and why did it happen in the first place?
I want to create a mapping that takes a string as the key and a primitive as the value. I was looking at the Java docs and did not see that Primitive was a class type or that they shared some kind of wrapping supper class. How can I constrain the value to be a primitive? Map< String, Primitive> map = new HashMap< String, Primitive >()
I'm parsing a string of 15 digits like this: String str = "100004159312045"; int i = Integer.parseInt(str); I'm getting an exception when doing so. Why? What are the limitations for Integer.parseInt? What other options do I have for converting such long string to a number?
I unfortunately cant use expressions like Long.Nan as the string is actually a return value from a different C module. Is there a string I can pass to parseLong() to return an NaN ?
Is there any justifiable reason to in Java something like Long l = new Long(SOME_CONSTANT) This creates an extra object and is tagged by FindBugs, and is obviously a bad practice. My question is whether there is ever a good reason to do so? I previously asked this about String constructors and got a good answer, but that answer doesn't seem to apply to numbers.
Is there a method similar to Java's Integer.bitCount(int) or Long.bitCount(long) anywhere in the .NET Framework? (For those unfamiliar with these Java methods) this is also known as: Hamming Weight Population Count (often called POPCNT when implemented in hardware.) Although there are plenty of implementations to be found on the web, I was wondering if there was a standard library implemen...
float ff = 1.2f; Float fo = new Float(1.2f); double fg = 3.2d; Double fh = new Double(2.1d); Can I use '=' between the (1) and (3) or between the (2) and (4)??
How to convert Long value into Integer value in Java?
What is the maximum file size 32 bit java can access? Is this architecture dependent?
Code: String myVar = "1255763710960"; int myTempVar=0; try { myTempVar = Integer.valueOf(myVar); } catch (NumberFormatException nfe) { System.out.println(nfe.toString()); } Output: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "1255763710960" I have absolutely no idea why this is.
queryParms.add(new Long(empRec)); I am using JDK 1.5 and using wrapped longs to a list. My Boss was yelling at me seeing this. Is it a good approach? Does it impact in terms of performance. What should be alternative?
I didn't get a definitive answer to this question by Google'ing, so I pose it to the groupthink masterminds and to ensure that a quality answer can be Google-able in the future. Using log4j RollingFileAppender, I can set the maximum size I want the file to reach before rolling over on itself, like so: RollingFileAppender rfa = new RollingFileAppender(); rfa.setMaximumFileSize(500000000); // S...
In Java, do primitive types and arrays have a containing package? Probably not, but just want to be certain.
I got a simple question in Java: How can I convert a String that was obtained by Long.toString() to long ?

The Long class wraps a value of the primitive type long in an object. An object of type Long contains a single field whose type is long.

In addition, this class provides several methods for converting a long to a String and a String to a long, as well as other constants and methods useful when dealing with a long.

Implementation note: The implementations of the "bit twiddling" methods (such as highestOneBit and numberOfTrailingZeros) are based on material from Henry S. Warren, Jr.'s Hacker's Delight, (Addison Wesley, 2002).

Returns a string representation of the first argument in the radix specified by the second argument.

If the radix is smaller than Character.MIN_RADIX or larger than Character.MAX_RADIX, then the radix 10 is used instead.

If the first argument is negative, the first element of the result is the ASCII minus sign '-' ('\u002d'). If the first argument is not negative, no sign character appears in the result.

The remaining characters of the result represent the magnitude of the first argument. If the magnitude is zero, it is represented by a single zero character '0' ('\u0030'); otherwise, the first character of the representation of the magnitude will not be the zero character. The following ASCII characters are used as digits:

0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
These are '\u0030' through '\u0039' and '\u0061' through '\u007a'. If radix is N, then the first N of these characters are used as radix-N digits in the order shown. Thus, the digits for hexadecimal (radix 16) are 0123456789abcdef. If uppercase letters are desired, the String.toUpperCase() method may be called on the result:
Long.toString(n, 16).toUpperCase()

Parameters:
i a long to be converted to a string.
radix the radix to use in the string representation.
Returns:
a string representation of the argument in the specified radix.

Returns a string representation of the long argument as an unsigned integer in base 16.

The unsigned long value is the argument plus 264 if the argument is negative; otherwise, it is equal to the argument. This value is converted to a string of ASCII digits in hexadecimal (base 16) with no extra leading 0s. If the unsigned magnitude is zero, it is represented by a single zero character '0' ('\u0030'); otherwise, the first character of the representation of the unsigned magnitude will not be the zero character. The following characters are used as hexadecimal digits:

0123456789abcdef
These are the characters '\u0030' through '\u0039' and '\u0061' through '\u0066'. If uppercase letters are desired, the String.toUpperCase() method may be called on the result:
Long.toHexString(n).toUpperCase()

Parameters:
i a long to be converted to a string.
Returns:
the string representation of the unsigned long value represented by the argument in hexadecimal (base 16).
Since:
JDK 1.0.2
 
     public static String toHexString(long i) {
         return toUnsignedString(i, 4);
     }

    
Returns a string representation of the long argument as an unsigned integer in base 8.

The unsigned long value is the argument plus 264 if the argument is negative; otherwise, it is equal to the argument. This value is converted to a string of ASCII digits in octal (base 8) with no extra leading 0s.

If the unsigned magnitude is zero, it is represented by a single zero character '0' ('\u0030'); otherwise, the first character of the representation of the unsigned magnitude will not be the zero character. The following characters are used as octal digits:

01234567
These are the characters '\u0030' through '\u0037'.

Parameters:
i a long to be converted to a string.
Returns:
the string representation of the unsigned long value represented by the argument in octal (base 8).
Since:
JDK 1.0.2
 
     public static String toOctalString(long i) {
         return toUnsignedString(i, 3);
     }

    
Returns a string representation of the long argument as an unsigned integer in base 2.

The unsigned long value is the argument plus 264 if the argument is negative; otherwise, it is equal to the argument. This value is converted to a string of ASCII digits in binary (base 2) with no extra leading 0s. If the unsigned magnitude is zero, it is represented by a single zero character '0' ('\u0030'); otherwise, the first character of the representation of the unsigned magnitude will not be the zero character. The characters '0' ('\u0030') and '1' ('\u0031') are used as binary digits.

Parameters:
i a long to be converted to a string.
Returns:
the string representation of the unsigned long value represented by the argument in binary (base 2).

Parses the string argument as a signed long in the radix specified by the second argument. The characters in the string must all be digits of the specified radix (as determined by whether Character.digit(char,int) returns a nonnegative value), except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign '-' ('\u002D') to indicate a negative value. The resulting long value is returned.

Note that neither the character L ('\u004C') nor l ('\u006C') is permitted to appear at the end of the string as a type indicator, as would be permitted in Java programming language source code - except that either L or l may appear as a digit for a radix greater than 22.

An exception of type NumberFormatException is thrown if any of the following situations occurs:

  • The first argument is null or is a string of length zero.
  • The radix is either smaller than Character.MIN_RADIX or larger than Character.MAX_RADIX.
  • Any character of the string is not a digit of the specified radix, except that the first character may be a minus sign '-' ('\u002d') provided that the string is longer than length 1.
  • The value represented by the string is not a value of type long.

Examples:

 parseLong("0", 10) returns 0L
 parseLong("473", 10) returns 473L
 parseLong("-0", 10) returns 0L
 parseLong("-FF", 16) returns -255L
 parseLong("1100110", 2) returns 102L
 parseLong("99", 8) throws a NumberFormatException
 parseLong("Hazelnut", 10) throws a NumberFormatException
 parseLong("Hazelnut", 36) returns 1356099454469L
 

Parameters:
s the String containing the long representation to be parsed.
radix the radix to be used while parsing s.
Returns:
the long represented by the string argument in the specified radix.
Throws:
NumberFormatException if the string does not contain a parsable long.

Parses the string argument as a signed decimal long. The characters in the string must all be decimal digits, except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign '-' (\u002D') to indicate a negative value. The resulting long value is returned, exactly as if the argument and the radix 10 were given as arguments to the parseLong(java.lang.String,int) method.

Note that neither the character L ('\u004C') nor l ('\u006C') is permitted to appear at the end of the string as a type indicator, as would be permitted in Java programming language source code.

Parameters:
s a String containing the long representation to be parsed
Returns:
the long represented by the argument in decimal.
Throws:
NumberFormatException if the string does not contain a parsable long.
 
     public static long parseLong(String sthrows NumberFormatException {
         return parseLong(s, 10);
     }

    
Returns a Long object holding the value extracted from the specified String when parsed with the radix given by the second argument. The first argument is interpreted as representing a signed long in the radix specified by the second argument, exactly as if the arguments were given to the parseLong(java.lang.String,int) method. The result is a Long object that represents the long value specified by the string.

In other words, this method returns a Long object equal to the value of:

new Long(Long.parseLong(s, radix))

Parameters:
s the string to be parsed
radix the radix to be used in interpreting s
Returns:
a Long object holding the value represented by the string argument in the specified radix.
Throws:
NumberFormatException If the String does not contain a parsable long.
 
     public static Long valueOf(String sint radixthrows NumberFormatException {
         return new Long(parseLong(sradix));
     }

    
Returns a Long object holding the value of the specified String. The argument is interpreted as representing a signed decimal long, exactly as if the argument were given to the parseLong(java.lang.String) method. The result is a Long object that represents the integer value specified by the string.

In other words, this method returns a Long object equal to the value of:

new Long(Long.parseLong(s))

Parameters:
s the string to be parsed.
Returns:
a Long object holding the value represented by the string argument.
Throws:
NumberFormatException If the string cannot be parsed as a long.
 
     public static Long valueOf(String sthrows NumberFormatException

             for(int i = 0; i < .i++)
                 [i] = new Long(i - 128);
         }
     }

    
Returns a Long instance representing the specified long value. If a new Long instance is not required, this method should generally be used in preference to the constructor Long(long), as this method is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance by caching frequently requested values.

Parameters:
l a long value.
Returns:
a Long instance representing l.
Since:
1.5
 
     public static Long valueOf(long l) {
         final int offset = 128;
         if (l >= -128 && l <= 127) { // will cache
             return .[(int)l + offset];
         }
         return new Long(l);
     }

    
Decodes a String into a Long. Accepts decimal, hexadecimal, and octal numbers given by the following grammar:
DecodableString:
Signopt DecimalNumeral
Signopt 0x HexDigits
Signopt 0X HexDigits
Signopt # HexDigits
Signopt 0 OctalDigits

Sign:
-

DecimalNumeral, HexDigits, and OctalDigits are defined in §3.10.1 of the Java Language Specification.

The sequence of characters following an (optional) negative sign and/or radix specifier ("0x", "0X", "#", or leading zero) is parsed as by the Long.parseLong method with the indicated radix (10, 16, or 8). This sequence of characters must represent a positive value or a NumberFormatException will be thrown. The result is negated if first character of the specified String is the minus sign. No whitespace characters are permitted in the String.

Parameters:
nm the String to decode.
Returns:
a Long object holding the long value represented by nm
Throws:
NumberFormatException if the String does not contain a parsable long.
Since:
1.2

The value of the Long.

Serial:
 
     private final long value;

    
Constructs a newly allocated Long object that represents the specified long argument.

Parameters:
value the value to be represented by the Long object.
 
     public Long(long value) {
         this. = value;
     }

    
Constructs a newly allocated Long object that represents the long value indicated by the String parameter. The string is converted to a long value in exactly the manner used by the parseLong method for radix 10.

Parameters:
s the String to be converted to a Long.
Throws:
NumberFormatException if the String does not contain a parsable long.

     }

    
Returns the value of this Long as a double.
 
     public double doubleValue() {
         return (double);

Returns a String object representing this Long's value. The value is converted to signed decimal representation and returned as a string, exactly as if the long value were given as an argument to the toString(long) method.

Returns:
a string representation of the value of this object in base 10.
 
     public String toString() {
         return String.valueOf();
     }

    
Returns a hash code for this Long. The result is the exclusive OR of the two halves of the primitive long value held by this Long object. That is, the hashcode is the value of the expression:
(int)(this.longValue()^(this.longValue()>>>32))

Returns:
a hash code value for this object.
 
     public int hashCode() {
         return (int)( ^ ( >>> 32));
     }

    
Compares this object to the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a Long object that contains the same long value as this object.

Parameters:
obj the object to compare with.
Returns:
true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.
 
     public boolean equals(Object obj) {

Determines the long value of the system property with the specified name.

The first argument is treated as the name of a system property. System properties are accessible through the System.getProperty(java.lang.String) method. The string value of this property is then interpreted as a long value and a Long object representing this value is returned. Details of possible numeric formats can be found with the definition of getProperty.

If there is no property with the specified name, if the specified name is empty or null, or if the property does not have the correct numeric format, then null is returned.

In other words, this method returns a Long object equal to the value of:

getLong(nm, null)

Parameters:
nm property name.
Returns:
the Long value of the property.
See also:
System.getProperty(java.lang.String)
System.getProperty(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
 
     public static Long getLong(String nm) {
         return getLong(nmnull);
     }

    
Determines the long value of the system property with the specified name.

The first argument is treated as the name of a system property. System properties are accessible through the System.getProperty(java.lang.String) method. The string value of this property is then interpreted as a long value and a Long object representing this value is returned. Details of possible numeric formats can be found with the definition of getProperty.

The second argument is the default value. A Long object that represents the value of the second argument is returned if there is no property of the specified name, if the property does not have the correct numeric format, or if the specified name is empty or null.

In other words, this method returns a Long object equal to the value of:

getLong(nm, new Long(val))
but in practice it may be implemented in a manner such as:
 Long result = getLong(nm, null);
 return (result == null) ? new Long(val) : result;
 
to avoid the unnecessary allocation of a Long object when the default value is not needed.

Parameters:
nm property name.
val default value.
Returns:
the Long value of the property.

         return (result == null) ? new Long(val) : result;
     }

    
Returns the long value of the system property with the specified name. The first argument is treated as the name of a system property. System properties are accessible through the System.getProperty(java.lang.String) method. The string value of this property is then interpreted as a long value, as per the Long.decode method, and a Long object representing this value is returned.
  • If the property value begins with the two ASCII characters 0x or the ASCII character #, not followed by a minus sign, then the rest of it is parsed as a hexadecimal integer exactly as for the method valueOf(java.lang.String,int) with radix 16.
  • If the property value begins with the ASCII character 0 followed by another character, it is parsed as an octal integer exactly as by the method valueOf(java.lang.String,int) with radix 8.
  • Otherwise the property value is parsed as a decimal integer exactly as by the method valueOf(java.lang.String,int) with radix 10.

Note that, in every case, neither L ('\u004C') nor l ('\u006C') is permitted to appear at the end of the property value as a type indicator, as would be permitted in Java programming language source code.

The second argument is the default value. The default value is returned if there is no property of the specified name, if the property does not have the correct numeric format, or if the specified name is empty or null.

Parameters:
nm property name.
val default value.
Returns:
the Long value of the property.

Compares two Long objects numerically.

Parameters:
anotherLong the Long to be compared.
Returns:
the value 0 if this Long is equal to the argument Long; a value less than 0 if this Long is numerically less than the argument Long; and a value greater than 0 if this Long is numerically greater than the argument Long (signed comparison).

Returns the number of zero bits preceding the highest-order ("leftmost") one-bit in the two's complement binary representation of the specified long value. Returns 64 if the specified value has no one-bits in its two's complement representation, in other words if it is equal to zero.

Note that this method is closely related to the logarithm base 2. For all positive long values x:

  • floor(log2(x)) = 63 - numberOfLeadingZeros(x)
  • ceil(log2(x)) = 64 - numberOfLeadingZeros(x - 1)

Returns:
the number of zero bits preceding the highest-order ("leftmost") one-bit in the two's complement binary representation of the specified long value, or 64 if the value is equal to zero.

Returns the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binary representation of the specified long value left by the specified number of bits. (Bits shifted out of the left hand, or high-order, side reenter on the right, or low-order.)

Note that left rotation with a negative distance is equivalent to right rotation: rotateLeft(val, -distance) == rotateRight(val, distance). Note also that rotation by any multiple of 64 is a no-op, so all but the last six bits of the rotation distance can be ignored, even if the distance is negative: rotateLeft(val, distance) == rotateLeft(val, distance & 0x3F).
