Method Detail

makeUnsignedShort

public static int makeUnsignedShort(byte[] shortBytes)

Merges two (little endian encoded) bytes into a unsigned short value.

Parameters:

shortBytes - The two (little endian encoded) bytes.

Returns:

The resulting short value.

makeBytesFromUnsignedShort

public static byte[] makeBytesFromUnsignedShort(int twoByteNumber)

Splits the given unsigned short value into two separate bytes (little endian encoded).

Parameters:

twoByteNumber - The short that needs to be split.

Returns:

Two (little endian encoded) bytes.

makeInt

public static int makeInt(byte[] intBytes)

Merges four (little endian encoded) bytes into a int value.

Parameters:

intBytes - The four (little endian encoded) bytes.

Returns:

The resulting int value.

makeBytesFromInt

public static byte[] makeBytesFromInt(int fourByteNumber)

Splits the given int value into four separate bytes (little endian encoded).

Parameters:

fourByteNumber - The int that needs to be split.

Returns:

Four (little endian encoded) bytes.
