Method Details

booleanValue

boolean booleanValue()
Converts this value to a BooleanValue and returns the result as a boolean.
Returns:
true if this value is non-zero (or true if already a BooleanValue); false otherwise.

byteValue

byte byteValue()
Converts this value to a ByteValue and returns the result as a byte. The value will be narrowed as necessary, and magnitude or precision information may be lost (as if the primitive had been cast to a byte).
Returns:
the value, converted to byte

charValue

char charValue()
Converts this value to a CharValue and returns the result as a char. The value will be narrowed or widened as necessary, and magnitude or precision information may be lost (as if the primitive had been cast to a char, in the narrowing case).
Returns:
the value, converted to char

shortValue

short shortValue()
Converts this value to a ShortValue and returns the result as a short. The value will be narrowed or widened as necessary, and magnitude or precision information may be lost (as if the primitive had been cast to a short, in the narrowing case).
Returns:
the value, converted to short

intValue

int intValue()
Converts this value to an IntegerValue and returns the result as an int. The value will be narrowed or widened as necessary, and magnitude or precision information may be lost (as if the primitive had been cast to an int, in the narrowing case).
Returns:
the value, converted to int

longValue

long longValue()
Converts this value to a LongValue and returns the result as a long. The value will be narrowed or widened as necessary, and magnitude or precision information may be lost (as if the primitive had been cast to a long, in the narrowing case).
Returns:
the value, converted to long

floatValue

float floatValue()
Converts this value to a FloatValue and returns the result as a float. The value will be narrowed or widened as necessary, and magnitude or precision information may be lost (as if the primitive had been cast to a float, in the narrowing case).
Returns:
the value, converted to float

doubleValue

double doubleValue()
Converts this value to a DoubleValue and returns the result as a double. The value will be widened as necessary, and precision information may be lost.
Returns:
the value, converted to double
