### DataTypes

    public DataTypes()

Method Detail

### getLengthInBytes

    public static int getLengthInBytes(Directives direct)

  Get length in bytes for numeric MIPS directives.

  Parameters:
    `direct` - Directive to be measured.
  Returns:
    Returns length in bytes for values of that type. If type is not numeric (or not implemented yet), returns 0.

### outOfRange

    public static boolean outOfRange(Directives direct,
                                     int value)

  Determines whether given integer value falls within value range for given directive.

  Parameters:
    `direct` - Directive that controls storage allocation for value.
    `value` - The value to be stored.
  Returns:
    Returns `true` if value can be stored in the number of bytes allowed by the given directive (.word, .half, .byte), `false` otherwise.

### outOfRange

    public static boolean outOfRange(Directives direct,
                                     double value)

  Determines whether given floating point value falls within value range for given directive. For float, this refers to range of the data type, not precision. Example: 1.23456789012345 be stored in a float with loss of precision. It's within the range. But 1.23e500 cannot be stored in a float because the exponent 500 is too large (float allows 8 bits for exponent).

  Parameters:
    `direct` - Directive that controls storage allocation for value.
    `value` - The value to be stored.
  Returns:
    Returns `true` if value is within range of the given directive (.float, .double), `false` otherwise.
