Gilles commented on MATH-1448: ------------------------------ bq. quite easy to make it implement `Number` interface ? [Number|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Number.html] is not an interface. Please give a concrete example of what you wish to achieve. Also, it would be helpful if you could take a look at issue NUMBERS-51 (and the related code in branch "feature__NUMBERS-51__field"). > Make RealFieldElement implement Number > -------------------------------------- > > Key: MATH-1448 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1448 > Project: Commons Math > Issue Type: Wish > Reporter: Alexander Nozik > Priority: Trivial > > RealFieldElement in some cases could be used as a substitute for a generic > `Number` and it quite easy to make it implement `Number` interface.
