Sebb commented on LANG-854:
---------------------------
bq. What about binary numbers?
That would the the subject of a separate JIRA.
Note: binary numbers are not handled currently by any of the other conversion routines.
Just noticed that Integer and Long can also be created from octal strings; also not (yet)
supported for BigInteger.
Should probably extend #createBigInteger to support octal and hex.
> NumberUtils#createNumber - does not allow for hex numbers to be larger than Long

> Reporter: Sebb
>
> NumberUtils#createNumber allows non-hex integers to be Integer, Long or BigInteger, however
hex integers are only allowed to be Integer or Long; anything longer than 16 hex digits currently
causes a NumberFormatException.
> It might be useful to allow longer hex numbers and convert them to BigInteger.
