Class UnsignedLongs

java.lang.Object
com.google.common.primitives.UnsignedLongs
@Beta @GwtCompatible public final class UnsignedLongs extends Object
Static utility methods pertaining to long primitives that interpret values as unsigned (that is, any negative value x is treated as the positive value 2^64 + x). The methods for which signedness is not an issue are in Longs, as well as signed versions of methods for which signedness is an issue.

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

Users of these utilities must be extremely careful not to mix up signed and unsigned long values. When possible, it is recommended that the UnsignedLong 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(long a, long b)
      Compares the two specified long values, treating them as unsigned values between 0 and 2^64 - 1 inclusive.
      Parameters:
      a - the first unsigned long to compare
      b - the second unsigned long 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

    • min

      public static long min(long... array)
      Returns the least value present in array, treating values as unsigned.
      Parameters:
      array - a nonempty array of unsigned long values
      Returns:
      the value present in array that is less than or equal to every other value in the array according to compare(long, long)
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if array is empty

    • max

      public static long max(long... array)
      Returns the greatest value present in array, treating values as unsigned.
      Parameters:
      array - a nonempty array of unsigned long values
      Returns:
      the value present in array that is greater than or equal to every other value in the array according to compare(long, long)
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if array is empty

    • join

      public static String join(String separator, long... array)
      Returns a string containing the supplied unsigned long values separated by separator. For example, join("-", 1, 2, 3) returns the string "1-2-3".
      Parameters:
      separator - the text that should appear between consecutive values in the resulting string (but not at the start or end)
      array - an array of unsigned long values, possibly empty

    • lexicographicalComparator

      public static Comparator<long[]> lexicographicalComparator()
      Returns a comparator that compares two arrays of unsigned long values lexicographically. That is, it compares, using compare(long, long)), the first pair of values that follow any common prefix, or when one array is a prefix of the other, treats the shorter array as the lesser. For example, [] < [1L] < [1L, 2L] < [2L] < [1L << 63].

      The returned comparator is inconsistent with Object.equals(Object) (since arrays support only identity equality), but it is consistent with Arrays.equals(long[], long[]).

    • divide

      public static long divide(long dividend, long divisor)
      Returns dividend / divisor, where the dividend and divisor are treated as unsigned 64-bit quantities.
      Parameters:
      dividend - the dividend (numerator)
      divisor - the divisor (denominator)
      Throws:
      ArithmeticException - if divisor is 0

    • remainder

      public static long remainder(long dividend, long divisor)
      Returns dividend % divisor, where the dividend and divisor are treated as unsigned 64-bit quantities.
      Parameters:
      dividend - the dividend (numerator)
      divisor - the divisor (denominator)
      Throws:
      ArithmeticException - if divisor is 0
      Since:
      11.0

    • parseUnsignedLong

      public static long parseUnsignedLong(String string)
      Returns the unsigned long value represented by the given decimal string.
      Throws:
      NumberFormatException - if the string does not contain a valid unsigned long value
      NullPointerException - if string is null (in contrast to Long.parseLong(String))

    • decode

      public static long decode(String stringValue)
      Returns the unsigned long value represented by the given string. Accepts a decimal, hexadecimal, or octal number given by specifying the following prefix:
      • 0xHexDigits
      • 0XHexDigits
      • #HexDigits
      • 0OctalDigits
      Throws:
      NumberFormatException - if the string does not contain a valid unsigned long value
      Since:
      13.0

    • parseUnsignedLong

      public static long parseUnsignedLong(String string, int radix)
      Returns the unsigned long value represented by a string with the given radix.
      Parameters:
      radix - the radix to use while parsing string
      s - the string containing the unsigned long representation to be parsed.
      Throws:
      NumberFormatException - if the string does not contain a valid unsigned long with the given radix, or if radix is not between Character.MIN_RADIX and Character.MAX_RADIX.
      NullPointerException - if string is null (in contrast to Long.parseLong(String))

      Returns a string representation of x, where x is treated as unsigned.

    • toString

      public static String toString(long x, int radix)
      Returns a string representation of x for the given radix, where x is treated as unsigned.
      Parameters:
      x - the value to convert to a string.

      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if radix is not between Character.MIN_RADIX and Character.MAX_RADIX.
