Enum Constant Detail

SIGNED

public static final DataType.Signedness SIGNED

The data type can represent both positive and negative numbers.

UNSIGNED

public static final DataType.Signedness UNSIGNED

The data type can represent only non-negative numbers.

Method Detail

values

public static DataType.Signedness[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (DataType.Signedness c : DataType.Signedness.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static DataType.Signedness valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
