createNumber

public static Number createNumber(String str)
                           throws NumberFormatException

Turns a string value into a java.lang.Number.

First, the value is examined for a type qualifier on the end ('f','F','d','D','l','L'). If it is found, it starts trying to create successively larger types from the type specified until one is found that can represent the value.

If a type specifier is not found, it will check for a decimal point and then try successively larger types from Integer to BigInteger and from Float to BigDecimal.

If the string starts with 0x or -0x (lower or upper case), it will be interpreted as a hexadecimal integer. Values with leading 0's will not be interpreted as octal.

Returns null if the string is null.

This method does not trim the input string, i.e., strings with leading or trailing spaces will generate NumberFormatExceptions.

Parameters:
str - String containing a number, may be null
Returns:
Number created from the string (or null if the input is null)
Throws:
NumberFormatException - if the value cannot be converted
