## Class IntegerFormatter

- java.lang.Object
- - org.python.core.stringlib.InternalFormat.Formatter
  - - org.python.core.stringlib.IntegerFormatter

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Appendable
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    IntegerFormatter.Traditional

      public class IntegerFormatter
      extends InternalFormat.Formatter

  A class that provides the implementation of integer formatting. In a limited way, it acts like a StringBuilder to which text and one or more numbers may be appended, formatted according to the format specifier supplied at construction. These are ephemeral objects that are not, on their own, thread safe.

    Nested Classes
    Modifier and Type | Class and Description
    --- | ---
    `static class` | `IntegerFormatter.Traditional` A minor variation on `IntegerFormatter` to handle "traditional" %-formatting.

  - ### Field Summary

    Fields
    Modifier and Type | Field and Description
    --- | ---
    `static InternalFormat.Spec` | `BIN` Format specification used by bin().
    `static InternalFormat.Spec` | `HEX` Format specification used by hex().

  - ### Constructor Summary

    Constructors
    Constructor and Description
    `IntegerFormatter(InternalFormat.Spec spec)` Construct the formatter from a specification, allocating a buffer internally for the result.
    `IntegerFormatter(StringBuilder result, InternalFormat.Spec spec)` Construct the formatter from a client-supplied buffer, to which the result will be appended, and a specification.

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description

    `IntegerFormatter` | `append(char c)`
    `IntegerFormatter` | `append(CharSequence csq)`
    `IntegerFormatter` | `append(CharSequence csq, int start, int end)`
    `static PyString` | `bin(PyObject number)` Convert the object to binary according to the conventions of Python built-in `bin()`.
    `IntegerFormatter` | `format(BigInteger value)` Format a `BigInteger`, which is the implementation type of Jython `long`, according to the specification represented by this `IntegerFormatter`.
    `IntegerFormatter` | `format(int value)` Format an integer according to the specification represented by this `IntegerFormatter`.
    `static PyString` | `formatNumber(PyObject number, InternalFormat.Spec spec)` Convert the object according to the conventions of Python built-in `hex()`, or `oct()`.

- - ### Field Detail

    - #### BIN

          public static final InternalFormat.Spec BIN

      Format specification used by bin().

    - #### OCT

          public static final InternalFormat.Spec OCT

      Format specification used by oct().

    - #### HEX

          public static final InternalFormat.Spec HEX

      Format specification used by hex().

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### IntegerFormatter

          public IntegerFormatter(StringBuilder result,
                          InternalFormat.Spec spec)

      Construct the formatter from a client-supplied buffer, to which the result will be appended, and a specification. Sets `InternalFormat.Formatter.mark` to the end of the buffer.
      Parameters:
        `result` - destination buffer
        `spec` - parsed conversion specification

    - #### IntegerFormatter

          public IntegerFormatter(InternalFormat.Spec spec)

      Construct the formatter from a specification, allocating a buffer internally for the result.
      Parameters:
        `spec` - parsed conversion specification

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### append

          public IntegerFormatter append(char c)

      Specified by:
        `append` in interface `Appendable`
      Overrides:
        `append` in class `InternalFormat.Formatter`

    - #### append

          public IntegerFormatter append(CharSequence csq)

      Specified by:
        `append` in interface `Appendable`
      Overrides:
        `append` in class `InternalFormat.Formatter`

    - #### append

          public IntegerFormatter append(CharSequence csq,
                                int start,
                                int end)
                                  throws IndexOutOfBoundsException

      Specified by:
        `append` in interface `Appendable`
      Overrides:
        `append` in class `InternalFormat.Formatter`
      Throws:
        `IndexOutOfBoundsException`

    - #### format

          public IntegerFormatter format(BigInteger value)

      Format a `BigInteger`, which is the implementation type of Jython `long`, according to the specification represented by this `IntegerFormatter`. The conversion type, and flags for grouping or base prefix are dealt with here. At the point this is used, we know the `InternalFormat.Formatter.spec` is one of the integer types.
      Parameters:
        `value` - to convert
      Returns:
        this object

    - #### format

          public IntegerFormatter format(int value)

      Format an integer according to the specification represented by this `IntegerFormatter`. The conversion type, and flags for grouping or base prefix are dealt with here. At the point this is used, we know the `InternalFormat.Formatter.spec` is one of the integer types.
      Parameters:
        `value` - to convert
      Returns:
        this object

    - #### bin

          public static PyString bin(PyObject number)

      Convert the object to binary according to the conventions of Python built-in `bin()`. The object's __index__ method is called, and is responsible for raising the appropriate error (which the base `PyObject.__index__()` does).
      Parameters:
        `number` - to convert
      Returns:
        PyString converted result

    - #### formatNumber

          public static PyString formatNumber(PyObject number,
                              InternalFormat.Spec spec)

      Convert the object according to the conventions of Python built-in `hex()`, or `oct()`. The object's `__index__` method is called, and is responsible for raising the appropriate error (which the base `PyObject.__index__()` does).
      Parameters:
        `number` - to convert
      Returns:
        PyString converted result
