org.apache.datasketches.ArrayOfNumbersSerDe

public class ArrayOfNumbersSerDe
extends ArrayOfItemsSerDe<Number>

Methods of serializing and deserializing arrays of the object version of primitive types of Number.

This class serializes numbers with a leading byte (ASCII character) indicating the type. The class keeps the values byte aligned, even though only 3 bits are strictly necessary to encode one of the 6 different primitives with object types that extend Number.

Classes handled are: Long, Integer, Short, Byte, Double, and Float.

Specified by:

serializeToByteArray in class ArrayOfItemsSerDe<Number>

Parameters:

items - array of items to be serialized

Returns:

serialized representation of the given array of items

deserializeFromMemory

public Number[] deserializeFromMemory(org.apache.datasketches.memory.Memory mem, int length)

Description copied from class: ArrayOfItemsSerDe

Specified by:

deserializeFromMemory in class ArrayOfItemsSerDe<Number>

Parameters:

mem - Memory containing a serialized array of items

length - number of items in the serialized array

Returns:
