  - createNumber
```
public static Number createNumber(String str)
                           throws NumberFormatException
```
    Turns a string value into a java.lang.Number.
    
    First, the value is examined for a type qualifier on the end ('f','F','d','D','l','L'). If it is found, it starts trying to create successively larger types from the type specified until one is found that can represent the value.
    
    If a type specifier is not found, it will check for a decimal point and then try successively larger types from Integer to BigInteger and from Float to BigDecimal.
    
    If the string starts with 0x or -0x, it will be interpreted as a hexadecimal integer. Values with leading 0's will not be interpreted as octal.
    
    Returns null if the string is null.
    
    This method does not trim the input string, i.e., strings with leading or trailing spaces will generate NumberFormatExceptions.
    
    Parameters:
    
    str - String containing a number, may be null

  - compare
```
public static int compare(double lhs,
                          double rhs)
```
    Compares two doubles for order.
    
    This method is more comprehensive than the standard Java greater than, less than and equals operators.
    
    It returns -1 if the first value is less than the second.
    
    It returns +1 if the first value is greater than the second.
    
    It returns 0 if the values are equal.
    
    The ordering is as follows, largest to smallest:
    
    NaN
    Positive infinity
    Maximum double
    Normal positive numbers
    +0.0
    -0.0
    Normal negative numbers
    Minimum double (-Double.MAX_VALUE)
    Negative infinity
    
    Comparing NaN with NaN will return 0.
    Parameters:
    
    lhs - the first double
    
    rhs - the second double
    
    Returns:
    
    -1 if lhs is less, +1 if greater, 0 if equal to rhs
  - compare

    Returns:
    
    -1 if lhs is less, +1 if greater, 0 if equal to rhs
  - isDigits
```
public static boolean isDigits(String str)
```
    Checks whether the String contains only digit characters.
    
    Null and empty String will return false.
    
    Parameters:
    
    str - the String to check
    
    Returns:
    
    true if str contains only unicode numeric
  - isNumber
```
public static boolean isNumber(String str)
```
    Checks whether the String a valid Java number.
    
    Valid numbers include hexadecimal marked with the 0x qualifier, scientific notation and numbers marked with a type qualifier (e.g. 123L).
    
    Null and empty String will return false.
    
    Parameters:
    
    str - the String to check
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the string is a correctly formatted number
