//use in a production environment, is not guaranteed against defects or errors, and
//is in no way optimized or streamlined.

fferpcore.DataType example = new fferpcore.DataType(Schema.DisplayType.Double, 10, 5);

System.assertEquals('DOUBLE', example.getName());
System.assertEquals(10, example.getLength());
System.assertEquals(5, example.getScale());
System.assertEquals('DOUBLE(10,5)', example.toString());

global String getName()

This method returns the name of the scalar data type this is associated with. See Salesforce's DisplayType Enum.

Return Value

This service returns a string object.

System.assertEquals(5, example.getScale());
System.assertEquals('DOUBLE(10,5)', example.toString());

global Integer getLength()

This method returns the length of the scalar data type this it is associated with. If the data type has a length, for example String or Double, the length value is returned, otherwise NULL is returned.

System.assertEquals(5, example.getScale());
System.assertEquals('DOUBLE(10,5)', example.toString());

global Integer getScale()

This method returns the scale of the scalar data type this it is associated with. If the data type has a scale, for example a Double, the scale value is returned, otherwise NULL is returned.
