This archive contains the sources for the java class

IntBox (current package used by the author utils.casts)

which boxes (wraps) an int. The int is  not final as
in Javas Integer class. So it may be used to pass
int arguments by reference to methods.

This is used for the tryParse() methods, similar to
the tryParse Methods from C#. The default tryParse method
from IntBox (old name tryParseBackward) is slightly
faster than Javas Integer.parseInt() method.

There is also a benchmark program included and the
jar (add it to your class path) and the class files
for IntBox and the JUnit tests for IntBox. These
two files should be in one IntelliJ Gradle project.

I strongly recommend to check out the repository from
http://github.com/psulzer/casts

You need IntelliJ (I am using version 2016.2.1) and
JUnit (must be configured in IntellJ) to use this repo.
