Method Detail

convertFromByteToInt

private static final int convertFromByteToInt(byte[] buffer,
                                              int offset)

Convert the byte array to an int.

convertFromByteToLong

private static final long convertFromByteToLong(byte[] buffer,
                                                int offset)

Convert the byte array to a long.

getFloat

public static final float getFloat(byte[] buffer,
                                   int offset)

Build a Java float from a 4-byte floating point representation.

This includes DERBY types:

• REAL
• FLOAT(1<=n<=24)

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified representation is not recognized.

getDouble

public static final double getDouble(byte[] buffer,
                                     int offset)

Build a Java double from an 8-byte floating point representation.

This includes DERBY types:

• FLOAT
• DOUBLE [PRECISION]

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified representation is not recognized.
