Method Detail

bigInteger2BinaryString

public static String bigInteger2BinaryString(BigInteger value)

Provides a string representation of the bits in the given BigInteger.

Parameters:

value - some BigInteger

Returns:

a string representation of the bits in the given BigInteger.

bigInteger2BitSet

public static BitSet bigInteger2BitSet(BigInteger value)

Creates a bit set from the given BigInteger.

Parameters:

value - value some BigInteger

Returns:

a bitset representing the BigInteger.

bitSet2BinaryString

public static String bitSet2BinaryString(BitSet s)

Provides a string representation of the bits in the given BitSet.

Parameters:

value - some BitSet

Returns:

a string representation of the bits in the given BitSet.

binaryString2BitSet

public static BitSet binaryString2BitSet(String s)

Creates a bit set from the given string of zeros and ones. Additional zeros are added to the prefix in, so that the string is aligned on the right side of the bitset

Parameters:

s - some string of zeros and ones

Returns:

a bitset representing the bitvector encoded by the string.
