Enclosing class:

Precision
```
public abstract static class Precision.PrecisionFormat
extends java.lang.Object
```
Defines a String format for specifying a Precision object. This abstract class defines a method for parsing the string format and a method for creating a valid String representation of a Precision object. The printing and parsing methods should be consistent (i.e. the parsing method should successfully parse the result of the printing method).

  - parseString
```
public abstract Precision parseString(java.lang.String str)
                               throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
```
    Parse the given String argument using the rules of the specific PrecisionFormat that is defined. This method will return a valid Precision object from the String. If the String parsing does not produce a valid match, this method will return a null. If the String match is successful but there is a problem in the interpretation of the match, this method will throw a IllegalArgumentException.
    
    Parameters:
    
    str - String to parse
    
    Returns:
    
    A Precision object. Returns a null if the String does not match the particular string format.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If there is a problem parsing the String (i.e. an illegal string).
  - printPrecisionFormat
```
public abstract java.lang.String printPrecisionFormat(Precision p)
```
    Creates a valid String representation of the Precision object based on the rules of the given string format. The format of this String should be consistent with the format used in the parseString method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    p - Precision object to represent as a String.
    
    Returns:
    
    String representing the Precision object
  - parseInteger
```
public static int parseInteger(java.lang.String str)
                        throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
```
    Parse a String as an integer. This method calls the Integer.parseInt method but throws the IllegalArgumentException instead of the NumberFormatException when there is a problem.
    
    Parameters:
    
    str - The integer string to parse
    
    Returns:
    
    The integer value of the string.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the parsing of the Integer value fails (i.e. NumberFormatException).
  - parseSignString
```
public static int parseSignString(java.lang.String str)
                           throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
```
    Parse the 'U' or 'S' sign specifier.
    
    Parameters:
    
    str - String to parse for a sign indicator.
    
    Returns:
    
    Return a 0 for unsigned and a 1 for signed.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the string does not match the 'U' or 'S' characters.
