Class UnsignedInts


  • @GwtCompatible
    public final class UnsignedInts
    extends Object
    Static utility methods pertaining to int primitives that interpret values as unsigned (that is, any negative value x is treated as the positive value 2^32 + x). The methods for which signedness is not an issue are in Ints, as well as signed versions of methods for which signedness is an issue.

    In addition, this class provides several static methods for converting an int to a String and a String to an int that treat the int as an unsigned number.

    Users of these utilities must be extremely careful not to mix up signed and unsigned int values. When possible, it is recommended that the UnsignedInteger wrapper class be used, at a small efficiency penalty, to enforce the distinction in the type system.

    See the Guava User Guide article on unsigned primitive utilities.

      • compare

        public static int compare​(int a,
                                  int b)
        Compares the two specified int values, treating them as unsigned values between 0 and 2^32 - 1 inclusive.

        Note: this method is now unnecessary and should be treated as deprecated; use the equivalent Integer.compareUnsigned(int, int) method instead.

        Parameters:
        a - the first unsigned int to compare
        b - the second unsigned int to compare
        Returns:
        a negative value if a is less than b; a positive value if a is greater than b; or zero if they are equal
      • toLong

        public static long toLong​(int value)
        Returns the value of the given int as a long, when treated as unsigned.

        Java 8+ users: use Integer.toUnsignedLong(int) instead.

        Parameters:
        value - a value between 0 and 232-1 inclusive
        Returns:
        the int value that, when treated as unsigned, equals value
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if value is negative or greater than or equal to 232
