Rob Tompkins created LANG-1252: ---------------------------------- Summary: NumberUtils.isNumber and NumberUtils.createNumber resolve inconsistently Key: LANG-1252 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1252 Project: Commons Lang Issue Type: Bug Components: lang.math.* Affects Versions: 3.4 Reporter: Rob Tompkins Fix For: Discussion
In considering the issues LANG-1060, LANG-1040, LANG-1038, and LANG-992, it seems that there are times when {{NumberUtils.isNumber}} resolves to {{false}} while {{NumberUtils.createNumber}}, given the same input, does not throw an exception, returning a valid {{java.lang.Number}}. This inconsistency should be resolved either by making {{isNumber}} more lenient or {{createNumber}} more stringent. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
