NullWritable (deeplearning4j 1.0.0-beta6 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.datavec.api.writable.NullWritable

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable, WritableComparable, Writable
```
public class NullWritable
extends Object
implements WritableComparable
```
NullWritable. Typically only used in very limited circumstances, to signify that a value is missing. Attempts to convert the NullWritable to some other value (using toInt(), toDouble() etc) will result in an UnsupportedOperationException being thrown

```
public void write(DataOutput out)
           throws IOException
```
    Description copied from interface: Writable
    
    Serialize the fields of this object to out.
    
    Specified by:
    
    write in interface Writable
    
    Parameters:
    
    out - DataOuput to serialize this object into.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - readFields
```
public void readFields(DataInput in)
                throws IOException
```
    Description copied from interface: Writable
    
    Deserialize the fields of this object from in.
    For efficiency, implementations should attempt to re-use storage in the existing object where possible.
    
    Specified by:
    
    readFields in interface Writable
    
    Parameters:
    
    in - DataInput to deseriablize this object from.

```
public void writeType(DataOutput out)
               throws IOException
```
    Description copied from interface: Writable
    
    Write the type (a single short value) to the DataOutput. See WritableFactory for details.
    
    Specified by:
    
    writeType in interface Writable
    
    Parameters:
    
    out - DataOutput to write to
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - For errors during writing
  - toDouble
```
public double toDouble()
```
    Description copied from interface: Writable

    toDouble in interface Writable
  - toFloat
```
public float toFloat()
```
    Description copied from interface: Writable
    
    Convert Writable to float. Whether this is supported depends on the specific writable.

    toFloat in interface Writable
  - toInt
```
public int toInt()
```
    Description copied from interface: Writable
    
    Convert Writable to int. Whether this is supported depends on the specific writable.

    toInt in interface Writable
  - toLong
```
public long toLong()
```
    Description copied from interface: Writable
