Class UnsignedInts

    public final class UnsignedInts
    extends 
    Static utility methods pertaining to int primitives that interpret values as unsigned (that is, any negative value x is treated as the positive value 2^32 + x). The methods for which signedness is not an issue are in Ints, as well as signed versions of methods for which signedness is an issue.

    In addition, this class provides several static methods for converting an int to a String and a String to an int that treat the int as an unsigned number.

    Users of these utilities must be extremely careful not to mix up signed and unsigned int values. When possible, it is recommended that the UnsignedInteger wrapper class be used, at a small efficiency penalty, to enforce the distinction in the type system.
