class:FloatBuffer [CHANGED]
  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Comparable<FloatBuffer> 

    public abstract class FloatBuffer
extends Buffer
implements Comparable<FloatBuffer>
    A float buffer.

    This class defines four categories of operations upon float buffers:

    • Absolute and relative get and put methods that read and write single floats;

    • Relative bulk get methods that transfer contiguous sequences of floats from this buffer into an array; and

    • Relative bulk put methods that transfer contiguous sequences of floats from a float array or some other float buffer into this buffer; and

    • MethodsA method for compacting, duplicating, andslicing a float buffer.

    Float buffers can be created either by allocation, which allocates space for the buffer's content, by wrapping an existing float array into a buffer, or by creating a view of an existing byte buffer.

    Like a byte buffer, a float buffer is either direct or non-direct . A float buffer created via the wrap methods of this class will be non-direct. A float buffer created as a view of a byte buffer will be direct if, and only if, the byte buffer itself is direct. Whether or not a float buffer is direct may be determined by invoking the isDirect method.

    Methods in this class that do not otherwise have a value to return are specified to return the buffer upon which they are invoked. This allows method invocations to be chained.

    Otherwise, this method copies n = src.remaining() floats from the given buffer into this buffer, starting at each buffer's current position. The positions of both buffers are then incremented by n.

    In other words, an invocation of this method of the form dst.put(src) has exactly the same effect as the loop

         while (src.hasRemaining())
         dst.put(src.get());

    Relative bulk put method  (optional operation) .

    This method transfers floats into this buffer from the given source array. If there are more floats to be copied from the array than remain in this buffer, that is, if length > remaining(), then no floats are transferred and a BufferOverflowException is thrown.

    Otherwise, this method copies length floats from the given array into this buffer, starting at the given offset in the array and at the current position of this buffer. The position of this buffer is then incremented by length.

    In other words, an invocation of this method of the form dst.put(src, off, len) has exactly the same effect as the loop

    
     for (int i = off; i < off + len; i++)

    reset in class Buffer
    Returns:
    This buffer
    Since:
    9

method:clear() [ADDED]

  • clear 

    public final FloatBuffer clear()
    Clears this buffer. The position is set to zero, the limit is set to the capacity, and the mark is discarded.

    Invoke this method before using a sequence of channel-read or put operations to fill this buffer. For example: 

     
buf.clear();     // Prepare buffer for reading
 in.read(buf);    // Read data

    This method does not actually erase the data in the buffer, but it is named as if it did because it will most often be used in situations in which that might as well be the case.

    Overrides:
    clear in class Buffer
    Returns:
    This buffer
    Since:
    9

method:flip() [ADDED]

  • flip 

    public final FloatBuffer flip()
    Flips this buffer. The limit is set to the current position and then the position is set to zero. If the mark is defined then it is discarded.

    After a sequence of channel-read or put operations, invoke this method to prepare for a sequence of channel-write or relative get operations. For example: 

     
buf.put(magic);    // Prepend header
 in.read(buf);      // Read data into rest of buffer
 buf.flip();        // Flip buffer
 out.write(buf);    // Write header + data to channel

    This method is often used in conjunction with the compact method when transferring data from one place to another.

    Overrides:
    flip in class Buffer
    Returns:
    This buffer
    Since:
    9

method:rewind() [ADDED]

  • rewind 

    public final FloatBuffer rewind()
    Rewinds this buffer. The position is set to zero and the mark is discarded.

    Invoke this method before a sequence of channel-write or get operations, assuming that the limit has already been set appropriately. For example: 

     
out.write(buf);    // Write remaining data
 buf.rewind();      // Rewind buffer
 buf.get(array);    // Copy data into array
    Overrides:
    rewind in class Buffer
    Returns:
    This buffer
    Since:
    9

method:compact() [NONE]

  • compact

    public abstract FloatBuffer compact()
    Compacts this buffer  (optional operation) .

    The floats between the buffer's current position and its limit, if any, are copied to the beginning of the buffer. That is, the float at index p = position() is copied to index zero, the float at index p + 1 is copied to index one, and so forth until the float at index limit() - 1 is copied to index n = limit() - 1 - p. The buffer's position is then set to n+1 and its limit is set to its capacity. The mark, if defined, is discarded.

    The buffer's position is set to the number of floats copied, rather than to zero, so that an invocation of this method can be followed immediately by an invocation of another relative put method.

    Returns:
    This buffer
    Throws:
    ReadOnlyBufferException - If this buffer is read-only

method:isDirect() [NONE]

  • isDirect

    public abstract boolean isDirect()
    Tells whether or not this float buffer is direct.
    Specified by:
    isDirect in class Buffer
    Returns:
    true if, and only if, this buffer is direct

method:toString() [NONE]

  • toString

    public String toString()
    Returns a string summarizing the state of this buffer.
    Overrides:
    toString in class Object
    Returns:
    A summary string

method:hashCode() [NONE]

  • hashCode

    public int hashCode()
    Returns the current hash code of this buffer.

    The hash code of a float buffer depends only upon its remaining elements; that is, upon the elements from position() up to, and including, the element at limit() - 1.

    Because buffer hash codes are content-dependent, it is inadvisable to use buffers as keys in hash maps or similar data structures unless it is known that their contents will not change.

    Overrides:
    hashCode in class Object
    Returns:
    The current hash code of this buffer
    See Also:
    Object.equals(java.lang.Object), System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)

method:equals(java.lang.Object) [NONE]

  • equals

    public boolean equals(Object ob)
    Tells whether or not this buffer is equal to another object.

    Two float buffers are equal if, and only if,

    1. They have the same element type,

    2. They have the same number of remaining elements, and

    3. The two sequences of remaining elements, considered independently of their starting positions, are pointwise equal. This method considers two float elements a and b to be equal if (a == b) || (Float.isNaN(a) && Float.isNaN(b)) . The values -0.0 and +0.0 are considered to be equal, unlike Float.equals(Object).

    A float buffer is not equal to any other type of object.

    Overrides:
    equals in class Object
    Parameters:
    ob - The object to which this buffer is to be compared
    Returns:
    true if, and only if, this buffer is equal to the given object
    See Also:
    Object.hashCode(), HashMap

method:compareTo(java.nio.FloatBuffer) [NONE]

  • compareTo

    public int compareTo(FloatBuffer that)
    Compares this buffer to another.

    Two float buffers are compared by comparing their sequences of remaining elements lexicographically, without regard to the starting position of each sequence within its corresponding buffer. Pairs of float elements are compared as if by invoking Float.compare(float,float), except that -0.0 and 0.0 are considered to be equal. Float.NaN is considered by this method to be equal to itself and greater than all other float values (including Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY).

    A float buffer is not comparable to any other type of object.

    Specified by:
    compareTo in interface Comparable<FloatBuffer>
    Parameters:
    that - the object to be compared.
    Returns:
    A negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this buffer is less than, equal to, or greater than the given buffer

method:order() [NONE]

  • order

    public abstract ByteOrder order()
    Retrieves this buffer's byte order.

    The byte order of a float buffer created by allocation or by wrapping an existing float array is the native order of the underlying hardware. The byte order of a float buffer created as a view of a byte buffer is that of the byte buffer at the moment that the view is created.

    Returns:
    This buffer's byte order
