public final class BigNumberextends Object

The BigNumber class encapsulates an unsigned number whose value is represented in internal hexadecimal format using an implementation specific maximum number of bytes. This class supports the BCD (binary coded decimal) format for I/O.

Since:

2.2.2 

public static final byte FORMAT_BCD

Constant to indicate a BCD (binary coded decimal) data format. When this format is used a binary coded decimal digit is stored in 1 nibble (4 bits). A byte is packed with 2 BCD digits.

See Also:Constant Field Values

public static final byte FORMAT_HEX

Constant to indicate a hexadecimal (simple binary) data format.

See Also:Constant Field Values

public BigNumber(short maxBytes)

Creates a BigNumber instance with initial value 0. All implementations must support at least 8 byte length internal representation capacity.

Parameters:maxBytes - maximum number of bytes needed in the hexadecimal format for the largest unsigned big number. For example, maxBytes = 2 allows a big number representation range 0-65535.

Throws: ArithmeticException - if maxBytes is 0, negative or larger than the supported maximum

public void setMaximum(byte[] maxValue, short bOff, short bLen, byte arrayFormat)

Sets the maximum value that the BigNumber may contain. Attempts to increase beyond the maximum results in an exception. If this method is not called, the maximum value is the maximum hex value that fits within the configured maximum number of bytes. Note:

• This method may allocate internal storage to store the specified maximum value.

Parameters:maxValue - input byte array

bOff - offset within input byte array containing first byte (the high order byte)

bLen - byte length of input data

arrayFormat - indicates the format of the input data. Valid codes listed in FORMAT_* constants. See FORMAT_BCD .

Throws: NullPointerException - if maxValue is null

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if accessing the input array would cause access of data outside array bounds or if bLen is negative

ArithmeticException - for the following conditions:

• if the specified maximum value is smaller than the encapsulated big number

• if the specified maximum value is larger than will fit within the supported maximum number of bytes

• if the input byte array format is not conformant with the specified arrayFormat parameter

• if bLen is 0

• if arrayFormat is not one of the FORMAT_ constants.

This method returns the byte length of the hex array that can store the biggest BigNumber supported. This number is the maximum number in hex byte representation. All implementations must support at least 8 bytes.

Returns:the byte length of the biggest number supported

• if the input byte array format is not conformant with the specified arrayFormat parameter

• if the specified input data represents a number which is larger than the maximum value configured or larger than will fit within the supported maximum number of bytes

• if bLen is 0

• if arrayFormat is not one of the FORMAT_ constants.
