28 * The abstract class {@code Number} is the superclass of platform
29 * classes representing numeric values that are convertible to the
30 * primitive types {@code byte}, {@code double}, {@code float}, {@code
31 * int}, {@code long}, and {@code short}.
32 *
33 * The specific semantics of the conversion from the numeric value of
34 * a particular {@code Number} implementation to a given primitive
35 * type is defined by the {@code Number} implementation in question.
36 *
37 * For platform classes, the conversion is often analogous to a
38 * narrowing primitive conversion or a widening primitive conversion
39 * as defined in <cite>The Java Language Specification</cite>
40 * for converting between primitive types. Therefore, conversions may
41 * lose information about the overall magnitude of a numeric value, may
42 * lose precision, and may even return a result of a different sign
43 * than the input.
44 *
45 * See the documentation of a given {@code Number} implementation for
46 * conversion details.
