public abstract class Number
extends Object
implements Serializable

The abstract class Number is the superclass of platform classes representing numeric values that are convertible to the primitive types byte, double, float, int, long, and short. The specific semantics of the conversion from the numeric value of a particular Number implementation to a given primitive type is defined by the Number implementation in question. For platform classes, the conversion is often analogous to a narrowing primitive conversion or a widening primitive conversion as defining in The Java Language Specification for converting between primitive types. Therefore, conversions may lose information about the overall magnitude of a numeric value, may lose precision, and may even return a result of a different sign than the input. See the documentation of a given Number implementation for conversion details.
抽象类Number是一些表示数字值的类的父类，这些类可转换为byte, double, float, int, long, short这些基本数据类型。从一个特定的Number实现的数字值到一个给定的基本类型的转换的语义是由这个Number实现定义的。对于平台类，转换往往是类似于缩窄原始转换或扩展原始转换，像Java语言规范中定义的基本类型之间的转换一样。 因此，转换可能会丢失有关数值总体大小的信息，可能会丢失精度，甚至可能会返回与输入不同的正负号结果。转换的详细信息，参阅给定的Number实现的文档。
