  - toString
```
public static java.lang.String toString(byte[] ba,
                                        int offset,
                                        int length)
```
    Returns a string of hexadecimal digits from a byte array. Each byte is converted to 2 hex symbols.
    If offset and length are omitted, the whole array is used.

                                        int length)
```
    Returns a string of hexadecimal digits from an integer array. Each int is converted to 4 hex symbols.
    If offset and length are omitted, the whole array is used.

public static java.lang.String toReversedString(byte[] b,
                                                int offset,
                                                int length)
```
    Returns a string of hexadecimal digits in reverse order from a byte array (i.e. the least significant byte is first, but within each byte the most significant hex digit is before the least significant hex digit).
    If offset and length are omitted, the whole array is used.
  - toReversedString
```
public static java.lang.String toReversedString(byte[] b)
```
  - fromString
```
public static byte[] fromString(java.lang.String hex)
```
    Returns a byte array from a string of hexadecimal digits.
  - fromReversedString
```
public static byte[] fromReversedString(java.lang.String hex)
```
    Returns a byte array from a string of hexadecimal digits in reverse order (i.e. the least significant byte is first, but within each byte the most significant hex digit is before the least significant hex digit). The string must have an even number of digits.
    This is not really either little nor big-endian; it's just obscure. It is here because it is the format used for the SPEED certification data.
  - toDigit
```
public static char toDigit(int n)
```
    Returns the hex digit corresponding to a number n, from 0 to 15.
  - fromDigit
```
public static int fromDigit(char ch)
```
    Returns the number from 0 to 15 corresponding to the hex digit ch.
  - byteToString
```
public static java.lang.String byteToString(int n)
```
    Returns a string of 2 hexadecimal digits (most significant digit first) corresponding to the lowest 8 bits of n.
  - shortToString
```
public static java.lang.String shortToString(int n)
```
    Returns a string of 4 hexadecimal digits (most significant digit first) corresponding to the lowest 16 bits of n.
  - intToString
```
public static java.lang.String intToString(int n)
```
    Returns a string of 8 hexadecimal digits (most significant digit first) corresponding to the integer n, which is treated as unsigned.
  - longToString
```
public static java.lang.String longToString(long n)
```
    Returns a string of 16 hexadecimal digits (most significant digit first) corresponding to the long n, which is treated as unsigned.
  - dumpString
```
public static java.lang.String dumpString(byte[] data,
                                          int offset,
                                          int length,
                                          java.lang.String m)
```
    Dump a byte array as a string, in a format that is easy to read for debugging. The string m is prepended to the start of each line.
    If offset and length are omitted, the whole array is used. If m is omitted, nothing is prepended to each line.
    
    Parameters:
    
    data - the byte array to be dumped
    
    offset - the offset within data to start from
    
    length - the number of bytes to dump
    
    m - a string to be prepended to each line
    
    Returns:
    
    a String containing the dump.

    offset - The offset within data to start from
    
    length - The number of ints to dump
