java byte转bit 数组,如何将字节数组转换为数字值（Java）的？

I have an 8 byte array and I want to convert it to its corresponding numeric value.

e.g.

byte[] by = new byte[8]; // the byte array is stored in 'by'

// CONVERSION OPERATION

// return the numeric value

I want a method that will perform the above conversion operation.

解决方案

Assuming the first byte is the least significant byte:

long value = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < by.length; i++)

{

value += ((long) by[i] & 0xffL) << (8 * i);

}

Is the first byte the most significant, then it is a little bit different:

long value = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < by.length; i++)

{

value = (value << 8) + (by[i] & 0xff);

}

Replace long with BigInteger, if you have more than 8 bytes.
