| /** |
| * <p>Extends {@link java.math} for business mathematical classes. |
| * This package is intended for business mathematical use, not scientific use. |
| * See <a href="https://commons.apache.org/math/">Commons Math</a> for a more complete set of mathematical classes. |
| * These classes are immutable, and therefore thread-safe.</p> |
| * |
| * <p>Although Commons Math also exists, some basic mathematical functions are contained within Lang. |
| * These include classes to a {@link org.apache.commons.lang3.math.Fraction} class, various utilities for random numbers, and the flagship class, {@link org.apache.commons.lang3.math.NumberUtils} which contains a handful of classic number functions.</p> |
| * |
| * <p>There are two aspects of this package that should be highlighted. |
| * The first is {@link org.apache.commons.lang3.math.NumberUtils#createNumber(String)}, a method which does its best to convert a String into a {@link java.lang.Number} object. |
| * You have no idea what type of Number it will return, so you should call the relevant {@code xxxValue} method when you reach the point of needing a number. |
| * NumberUtils also has a related {@link org.apache.commons.lang3.math.NumberUtils#isCreatable(String)} method.</p> |
| * |
| * @since 2.0 |
