Method Detail

### toInt

    public static int toInt(byte[] bytes)

  Custom algorithm used to generate an int from a series of bytes.

  NOTE : this is different than interpreting the incoming bytes as an int value!

  Parameters:
    `bytes` - The bytes to use in generating the int.
  Returns:
    The generated int.

### fromShort

    public static byte[] fromShort(int shortValue)

  Interpret a short as its binary form

  Parameters:
    `shortValue` - The short to interpret to binary
  Returns:
    The binary

### fromInt

    public static byte[] fromInt(int intValue)

  Interpret an int as its binary form

  Parameters:
    `intValue` - The int to interpret to binary
  Returns:
    The binary

### fromLong

    public static byte[] fromLong(long longValue)

  Interpret a long as its binary form

  Parameters:
    `longValue` - The long to interpret to binary
  Returns:
    The binary

### asLong

    public static long asLong(byte[] bytes)

  Interpret the binary representation of a long.

  Parameters:
    `bytes` - The bytes to interpret.
  Returns:
    The long

### toBinaryString

    public static String toBinaryString(byte value)

### toBinaryString

    public static String toBinaryString(int value)

### toBinaryString

    public static String toBinaryString(long value)
