[jira] Reopened: (MATH-260) Inconsistent API in Frequency

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

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-260?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Sebb reopened MATH-260:
-----------------------


Yes, I know that the getXXX(Object) methods handle Integer specially; but so does the addValue(Object) method - it has to, in case an Integer is passed as an Object.

But why is there an addValue(Integer) method? What does it achieve?
There are no corresponding getXXX(Integer) methods.

> The overloaded Frequency methods are not consistent in the parameter types that they handle.
> addValue() has an Integer version which converts the parameter to a Long, and then calls addValue(Object).
> The various getxxx() methods all handle Integer parameters as an Object.
> Seems to me that it would be better to treat Integer consistently.
> But perhaps there is a good reason for having an addValue(Integer) method but no getxxx(Integer) methods?
> If so, then it would be helpful to document this.
