Constructor Detail

Bit

@Deprecated
public Bit(boolean bit)

Deprecated. Use valueOf(java.lang.String) to save memory.

Create a new bit according to the specified boolean value.

Parameters:

bit - the boolean value of this bit

Bit

@Deprecated
public Bit(int bit)
                throws IllegalArgumentException

Deprecated. Use valueOf(java.lang.String) to save memory.
