## [Java] Class NumberMath

- org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.NumberMath

-     public abstract class NumberMath
      extends Object

  Stateless objects used to perform math on the various Number subclasses. Instances are required so that polymorphic calls work properly, but each subclass creates a singleton instance to minimize garbage. All methods must be thread-safe. The design goals of this class are as follows:

  1. Support a 'least surprising' math model to scripting language users. This means that exact, or decimal math should be used for default calculations. This scheme assumes that by default, groovy literals with decimal points are instantiated as BigDecimal objects rather than binary floating points (Float, Double).
  2. Do not force the appearance of exactness on a number that is by definition not guaranteed to be exact. In particular this means that if an operand in a NumberMath operation is a binary floating point number, ensure that the result remains a binary floating point number (i.e. never automatically promote a binary floating point number to a BigDecimal). This has the effect of preserving the expectations of binary floating point users and helps performance.
  3. Provide an implementation that is as close as practical to the Java 1.5 BigDecimal math model which implements precision based floating point decimal math (ANSI X3.274-1996 and ANSI X3.274-1996/AM 1-2000 (section 7.4).

    - #### public static NumberMath getMath(Number left, Number right)

      Determine which NumberMath instance to use, given the supplied operands. This method implements the type promotion rules discussed in the documentation. Note that by the time this method is called, any Byte, Character or Short operands will have been promoted to Integer. For reference, here is the promotion matrix: bD bI D F L I bD bD bD D D bD bD bI bD bI D D bI bI D D D D D D D F D D D D D D L bD bI D D L L I bD bI D D L I Note that for division, if either operand isFloatingPoint, the result will be floating. Otherwise, the result is BigDecimal

    - #### public static Number leftShift(Number left, Number right)

      For this operation, consider the operands independently. Throw an exception if the right operand (shift distance) is not an integral type. For the left operand (shift value) also require an integral type, but do NOT promote from Integer to Long. This is consistent with Java, and makes sense for the shift operators.
