/**
* The abstract class {@code Number} is the superclass of platform
* classes representing numeric values that are convertible to the
* primitive types {@code byte}, {@code double}, {@code float}, {@code
* int}, {@code long}, and {@code short}.
*
* The specific semantics of the conversion from the numeric value of
* a particular {@code Number} implementation to a given primitive
* type is defined by the {@code 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 <cite>The Java™ Language Specification</cite>
* 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 {@code Number} implementation for
* conversion details.
