Parameters:

dataInput - the stream data

length - the legth of the number

Returns:

The number as a Number (BigDecimal)

Throws:

IOException - if an IO error happens

EOFException - if reached end of file before length bytes

Parameters:

in - DataInput to read from

Returns:

int value of next 32 bits as littleEndian

Throws:

IOException - if an IO error happens

EOFException - if reached end of file before 4 bytes are readed

readLittleEndianShort
