Class Precision.IntegerFractionPrecisionFormat

java.lang.Object

ptolemy.math.Precision.PrecisionFormat

ptolemy.math.Precision.IntegerFractionPrecisionFormat

Enclosing class:

Precision

public static class Precision.IntegerFractionPrecisionFormat
extends Precision.PrecisionFormat

Defines a Precision string format using the INTEGER.FRACTION precision format. The INTEGER value specifies the number of integer bits and the FRACTION value specifies the number of fractional bits. Negative values are allowed for either INTEGER or FRACTION (but not both).

This format supports the specification of either signed or unsigned values. The character 'U' must precede the integer.fraction format to specify an unsigned value. An 'S' character may be applied to specify a signed number. If no 'U' or 'S' signed specification is provided, the precision will default to a signed value.

The exponent in this format is set to -fraction.

Parenthesis or brackets are optional around this specification. Examples:

• (3.5)
• (U2.1)
• [S2.1]
• [S6.-2]
• S-2.4

When printed, this format will always use parenthesis and only use the signed format specification for unsigned numbers (i.e. 'U' used for unsigned numbers and NO 'S' for signed numbers).

Method Detail

parseString

public Precision parseString(java.lang.String str)
                      throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from class: Precision.PrecisionFormat

Parse the given String argument using the rules of the specific PrecisionFormat that is defined. This method will return a valid Precision object from the String. If the String parsing does not produce a valid match, this method will return a null. If the String match is successful but there is a problem in the interpretation of the match, this method will throw a IllegalArgumentException.

Specified by:

parseString in class Precision.PrecisionFormat

Parameters:

str - String to parse

Returns:

A Precision object. Returns a null if the String does not match the particular string format.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If there is a problem parsing the String (i.e. an illegal string).

printPrecisionFormat

public java.lang.String printPrecisionFormat(Precision p)

Description copied from class: Precision.PrecisionFormat

Creates a valid String representation of the Precision object based on the rules of the given string format. The format of this String should be consistent with the format used in the parseString method.

Specified by:

printPrecisionFormat in class Precision.PrecisionFormat

Parameters:

p - Precision object to represent as a String.

Returns:

String representing the Precision object
