The value assigned to a field or variable of primitive type in a
target VM. Each primitive values is accessed through a subinterface
of this interface.
Converts this value to a BooleanValue and returns the result
as a boolean.
Returns:
true if this value is non-zero (or
true if already a BooleanValue); false otherwise.
byteValue
byte byteValue()
Converts this value to a ByteValue and returns the result
as a byte. The value will be narrowed as
necessary, and magnitude or precision information
may be lost (as if the primitive had been cast to a byte).
Returns:
the value, converted to byte
charValue
char charValue()
Converts this value to a CharValue and returns the result
as a char. The value will be narrowed or widened as
necessary, and magnitude or precision information
may be lost (as if the primitive had been cast to a char,
in the narrowing case).
Returns:
the value, converted to char
shortValue
short shortValue()
Converts this value to a ShortValue and returns the result
as a short. The value will be narrowed or widened as
necessary, and magnitude or precision information
may be lost (as if the primitive had been cast to a short,
in the narrowing case).
Returns:
the value, converted to short
intValue
int intValue()
Converts this value to an IntegerValue and returns the result
as an int. The value will be narrowed or widened as
necessary, and magnitude or precision information
may be lost (as if the primitive had been cast to an int,
in the narrowing case).
Returns:
the value, converted to int
longValue
long longValue()
Converts this value to a LongValue and returns the result
as a long. The value will be narrowed or widened as
necessary, and magnitude or precision information
may be lost (as if the primitive had been cast to a long,
in the narrowing case).
Returns:
the value, converted to long
floatValue
float floatValue()
Converts this value to a FloatValue and returns the result
as a float. The value will be narrowed or widened as
necessary, and magnitude or precision information
may be lost (as if the primitive had been cast to a float,
in the narrowing case).
Returns:
the value, converted to float
doubleValue
double doubleValue()
Converts this value to a DoubleValue and returns the result
as a double. The value will be widened as
necessary, and precision information
may be lost.
