      • createNumber

        public static Number createNumber​(String str)

        Turns a string value into a java.lang.Number.

        If the string starts with 0x or -0x (lower or upper case) or # or -#, it will be interpreted as a hexadecimal Integer - or Long, if the number of digits after the prefix is more than 8 - or BigInteger if there are more than 16 digits.

        Then, the value is examined for a type qualifier on the end, i.e. one of 'f', 'F', 'd', 'D', 'l', 'L'. If it is found, it starts trying to create successively larger types from the type specified until one is found that can represent the value.

        If a type specifier is not found, it will check for a decimal point and then try successively larger types from Integer to BigInteger and from Float to BigDecimal.

        Integral values with a leading 0 will be interpreted as octal; the returned number will be Integer, Long or BigDecimal as appropriate.

        Returns null if the string is null.

        This method does not trim the input string, i.e., strings with leading or trailing spaces will generate NumberFormatExceptions.

        Parameters:
        str - String containing a number, may be null
        Returns:
        Number created from the string (or null if the input is null)

        public static boolean isNumber​(String str)
        Deprecated.
        This feature will be removed in Lang 4.0, use isCreatable(String) instead

        Checks whether the String a valid Java number.

        Valid numbers include hexadecimal marked with the 0x or 0X qualifier, octal numbers, scientific notation and numbers marked with a type qualifier (e.g. 123L).

        Non-hexadecimal strings beginning with a leading zero are treated as octal values. Thus the string 09 will return false, since 9 is not a valid octal value. However, numbers beginning with 0. are treated as decimal.

        null and empty/blank String will return false.

        Note, createNumber(String) should return a number for every input resulting in true.

        Parameters:
        str - the String to check
        Returns:
        true if the string is a correctly formatted number
        Since:

        Non-hexadecimal strings beginning with a leading zero are treated as octal values. Thus the string 09 will return false, since 9 is not a valid octal value. However, numbers beginning with 0. are treated as decimal.
