What's the meaning of this method WRT to its comment and its naming
(value is declared as int):
/**
* @return The hex value for this flag, in its position.
* For instance, getting the flag 5 will return 0x0000 0010
*/
public int getHexValue()
{
return 1 << value;
}
- IMO a hex is an alphanumeric pattern (abcdef0123456789), so how can
this method return an int representing a hex?
- 'value' represents all set flags, nto a specific one, but no method
parameter is given to specifiy a specific flag ...
Any ideas ?
