[jira] Commented: (LANG-341) [NumberUtils] Please add number <> byte[] methods

["Henri Yandell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-341?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12836539#action_12836539 ] 

Henri Yandell commented on LANG-341:
------------------------------------

Minor note - toLong(null) needs to equal 0 as that's what toLong(String) returns when given null.

> Hello,
> I need a set of methods to convert Long to or from a byte[] array, as if
> writing / reading from Data(Input/Output)Stream(
> ByteArray(Input/Output)Stream ).
> First, doing it with Streams seems a bit wasteful, second, it seems a
> pretty general use. Would it be possible to add something like that to,
> for example,
> org.apache.commons.lang.math.NumberUtils?
> Example code:
> static public long toLong(byte[] b)
>   {
>     return toLong(b, 0);
>   }
>   
>   static public long toLong(byte[] b, int offset)
>   {
>     return (((long)b[offset] << 56) +
>         ((long)(b[offset + 1] & 255) << 48) +
>         ((long)(b[offset + 2] & 255) << 40) +
>         ((long)(b[offset + 3] & 255) << 32) +
>         ((long)(b[offset + 4] & 255) << 24) +
>         ((b[offset + 5] & 255) << 16) +
>         ((b[offset + 6] & 255) <<  8) +
>         ((b[offset + 7] & 255) <<  0));
>   }
>   
>   static public byte[] longToByteArray(long l)
>   {
>     byte b[] = new byte[8];
>     longToByteArray(l, b, 0);
>     return b;
>   }
>   
>   static public void longToByteArray(long l, byte b[], int offset)
>   {
>     b[offset] = (byte)(l >>> 56);
>     b[offset + 1] = (byte)(l >>> 48);
>     b[offset + 2] = (byte)(l >>> 40);
>     b[offset + 3] = (byte)(l >>> 32);
>     b[offset + 4] = (byte)(l >>> 24);
>     b[offset + 5] = (byte)(l >>> 16);
>     b[offset + 6] = (byte)(l >>>  8);
>     b[offset + 7] = (byte)(l >>>  0);
>   }
