    public enum DataType

extends Enum<DataType>

This `enum` defines a number of data types that can be used for `Parameter`s and `Result` s.

Method Detail

### values

    public static DataType[] values()

  Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

      for (DataType c : DataType.values())
          System.out.println(c);

  Returns:
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

### valueOf

    public static DataType valueOf(String name)

  Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
  Returns:
    the enum constant with the specified name
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null

### canBeCastedFromTo

    public static boolean canBeCastedFromTo(DataType from,
                                            DataType to)

  Checks if the `DataType` `from` can be casted to the `DataType` `to` without losing information. The following casts are allowed:
  - `BYTE` -> `BYTE`, `SHORT`, `INT`, `LONG`, `DOUBLE`
  - `SHORT` -> `SHORT`, `INT`, `LONG`, `DOUBLE`
  - `INT` -> `INT`, `LONG`, `DOUBLE`
  - `LONG` -> `LONG`
  - `DOUBLE` -> `DOUBLE`

  Parameters:
    `from` - the `DataType` to cast from
    `to` - the `DataType` to cast to
  Returns:
    `true` if the cast is possible, `false` otherwise
