Method Detail

createBitSet

@Nonnull
public static BitSet createBitSet(byte nValue)

Convert the passed byte value to an bit set of size 8.

Parameters:

nValue - The value to be converted to a bit set.

Returns:

The non-null bit set.

createBitSet

@Nonnull
public static BitSet createBitSet(short nValue)

Convert the passed short value to an bit set of size 16.

Parameters:

nValue - The value to be converted to a bit set.

Returns:

The non-null bit set.

createBitSet

@Nonnull
public static BitSet createBitSet(int nValue)

Convert the passed int value to an bit set of size 32.

Parameters:

nValue - The value to be converted to a bit set.

Returns:

The non-null bit set.

createBitSet

@Nonnull
public static BitSet createBitSet(long nValue)

Convert the passed long value to an bit set of size 64.

Parameters:

nValue - The value to be converted to a bit set.

Returns:

The non-null bit set.

getExtractedIntValue

public static int getExtractedIntValue(@Nonnull
                                       BitSet aBS)

Extract the int representation of the passed bit set. To avoid loss of data, the bit set may not have more than 32 bits.

Parameters:

aBS - The bit set to extract the value from. May not be null.

Returns:

The extracted value. May be negative if the bit set has 32 elements, the highest order bit is set.

getExtractedLongValue

public static long getExtractedLongValue(@Nonnull
                                         BitSet aBS)

Extract the long representation of the passed bit set. To avoid loss of data, the bit set may not have more than 64 bits.

Parameters:

aBS - The bit set to extract the value from. May not be null.

Returns:

The extracted value. May be negative if the bit set has 64 elements, the highest order bit is set.
