- - ### Method Detail

    - #### public static boolean isDigit(char c)

      Returns true if the specified character is a base-10 digit.

    - #### public static boolean isHexDigit(char c)

      Returns true if the specified character is a base-16 digit.

    - #### public static boolean isNumericTypeSpecifier(char c, boolean isDecimal)

      Returns true if the specified character is a valid type specifier for a numeric value.

    - #### public static boolean isOctalDigit(char c)

      Returns true if the specific character is a base-8 digit.

    - #### public static Number parseDecimal(String text)

      Builds a Number from the given decimal descriptor. Uses BigDecimal, unless, Double or Float is requested.

      throws:
        NumberFormatException if the number does not fit within the type requested by the type specifier suffix (invalid numbers don't make it here)
      Parameters:
        `text` - literal text to parse
      Returns:
        instantiated Number object

    - #### @Deprecated public static Number parseInteger(String text)

      Builds a Number from the given integer descriptor. Creates the narrowest type possible, or a specific type, if specified.

      throws:
        NumberFormatException if the number does not fit within the type requested by the type specifier suffix (invalid numbers don't make it here)
      Parameters:
        `text` - literal text to parse
      Returns:
        instantiated Number object

    - #### public static Number parseInteger(AST reportNode, String text)

      Builds a Number from the given integer descriptor. Creates the narrowest type possible, or a specific type, if specified.

      throws:
        NumberFormatException if the number does not fit within the type requested by the type specifier suffix (invalid numbers don't make it here)
      Parameters:
        `reportNode` - at node for error reporting in the parser
        `text` - literal text to parse
      Returns:
        instantiated Number object
