/**
 * 

Extends {@link java.math} for business mathematical classes. * This package is intended for business mathematical use, not scientific use. * See Commons Math for a more complete set of mathematical classes. * These classes are immutable, and therefore thread-safe.

* *

Although Commons Math also exists, some basic mathematical functions are contained within Lang. * These include classes to a {@link org.apache.commons.lang3.math.Fraction} class, various utilities for random numbers, and the flagship class, {@link org.apache.commons.lang3.math.NumberUtils} which contains a handful of classic number functions.

* *

There are two aspects of this package that should be highlighted. * The first is {@link org.apache.commons.lang3.math.NumberUtils#createNumber(String)}, a method which does its best to convert a String into a {@link java.lang.Number} object. * You have no idea what type of Number it will return, so you should call the relevant {@code xxxValue} method when you reach the point of needing a number. * NumberUtils also has a related {@link org.apache.commons.lang3.math.NumberUtils#isCreatable(String)} method.

* * @since 2.0 */ package org.apache.commons.lang3.math;
