Number (Java SE 19 & JDK 19) API Examples.
You will find code examples on most Number methods.


Summary

The abstract class Number is the superclass of platform classes representing numeric values that are convertible to the primitive types byte, double, float, int, long, and short.

Number (Java SE 19 & JDK 19)

Class diagram

final Number num = Integer.valueOf(100);

System.out.println(num.intValue()); // 100
System.out.println(num.longValue()); // 100
System.out.println(num.doubleValue()); // 100.0

Constructors

Number ()

Constructor for subclasses to call.

Number (Java SE 19 & JDK 19)

I think it's rare to create a subclass of Number. Therefore, the code example is omitted.

Methods

byte byteValue ()

Returns the value of the specified number as a byte.

Number (Java SE 19 & JDK 19) 
final Number num1 = Byte.valueOf((byte) 0);
System.out.println(num1.byteValue()); // 0

final Number num2 = Byte.valueOf((byte) 100);
System.out.println(num2.byteValue()); // 100

final Number num3 = Byte.valueOf(Byte.MAX_VALUE);
System.out.println(num3.byteValue()); // 127

final Number num4 = Byte.valueOf(Byte.MIN_VALUE);
System.out.println(num4.byteValue()); // -128
