    Convert a Double to a BigDecimal with a scale of two that has been rounded using RoundingMode.HALF_EVEN. If the supplied value is null, then BigDecimal.ZERO is returned.
    Note, the scale of a BigDecimal is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the Double to convert, may be null.
    
    Returns:
    
    the scaled, with appropriate rounding, BigDecimal.

  - createNumber
```
public static java.lang.Number createNumber(java.lang.String str)
```
    Turns a string value into a java.lang.Number.
    
    If the string starts with 0x or -0x (lower or upper case) or # or -#, it will be interpreted as a hexadecimal Integer - or Long, if the number of digits after the prefix is more than 8 - or BigInteger if there are more than 16 digits.
    
    Then, the value is examined for a type qualifier on the end, i.e. one of '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.
    
    Integral values with a leading 0 will be interpreted as octal; the returned number will be Integer, Long or BigDecimal as appropriate.
    
    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
    
    Returns:
    
    Number created from the string (or null if the input is null)

  - isNumber
```
@Deprecated
public static boolean isNumber(java.lang.String str)
```
    Deprecated. This feature will be removed in Lang 4.0, use isCreatable(String) instead
    
    Checks whether the String a valid Java number.
    
    Valid numbers include hexadecimal marked with the 0x or 0X qualifier, octal numbers, scientific notation and numbers marked with a type qualifier (e.g. 123L).
    
    Non-hexadecimal strings beginning with a leading zero are treated as octal values. Thus the string 09 will return false, since 9 is not a valid octal value. However, numbers beginning with 0. are treated as decimal.
    
    null and empty/blank String will return false.
    
    Note, createNumber(String) should return a number for every input resulting in true.
    
    Parameters:
    
    str - the String to check
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the string is a correctly formatted number
    
    Since:
    
    3.3 the code supports hex 0Xhhh an octal 0ddd validation

```
    Checks whether the given String is a parsable number.
    
    Parsable numbers include those Strings understood by Integer.parseInt(String), Long.parseLong(String), Float.parseFloat(String) or Double.parseDouble(String). This method can be used instead of catching ParseException when calling one of those methods.
    
    Hexadecimal and scientific notations are not considered parsable. See isCreatable(String) on those cases.
    
    Null and empty String will return false.
    
    Parameters:
    
    str - the String to check.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the string is a parsable number.

```
public static int compare(int x,
                          int y)
```
    Compares two int values numerically. This is the same functionality as provided in Java 7.
    
    Parameters:
    
    x - the first int to compare
    
    y - the second int to compare
    
    Returns:
    
    the value 0 if x == y; a value less than 0 if x < y; and a value greater than 0 if x > y
    
    Since:
    
    3.4
  - compare
```
public static int compare(long x,
                          long y)
```
    Compares to long values numerically. This is the same functionality as provided in Java 7.
    
    Parameters:
    
    x - the first long to compare
    
    y - the second long to compare
    
    Returns:
    
    the value 0 if x == y; a value less than 0 if x < y; and a value greater than 0 if x > y
    
    Since:
    
    3.4
  - compare
```
public static int compare(short x,
                          short y)
```
    Compares to short values numerically. This is the same functionality as provided in Java 7.
    
    Parameters:
    
    x - the first short to compare
    
    y - the second short to compare
    
    Returns:
    
    the value 0 if x == y; a value less than 0 if x < y; and a value greater than 0 if x > y
    
    Since:
    
    3.4
  - compare
```
public static int compare(byte x,
                          byte y)
```
    Compares two byte values numerically. This is the same functionality as provided in Java 7.
    
    Parameters:
    
    x - the first byte to compare
    
    y - the second byte to compare
    
    Returns:
    
    the value 0 if x == y; a value less than 0 if x < y; and a value greater than 0 if x > y
    
    Since:
    
    3.4
