# Class Adler32

java.lang.Object
java.util.zip.Adler32

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Checksum`

public class Adler32 extends Object implements Checksum
A class that can be used to compute the Adler-32 checksum of a data stream. An Adler-32 checksum is almost as reliable as a CRC-32 but can be computed much faster.

Passing a `null` argument to a method in this class will cause a `NullPointerException` to be thrown.

Since:
  1.1

  - ### Adler32

    public Adler32()
    Creates a new Adler32 object.

- ## Method Details

  - ### update

    public void update(int b)
    Updates the checksum with the specified byte (the low eight bits of the argument b).
    Specified by:
      `update` in interface `Checksum`
    Parameters:
      `b` - the byte to update the checksum with

  - ### update

    public void update(byte[] b, int off, int len)
    Updates the checksum with the specified array of bytes.
    Specified by:
      `update` in interface `Checksum`
    Parameters:
      `b` - the byte array to update the checksum with
      `off` - the start offset of the data
      `len` - the number of bytes to use for the update
    Throws:
      `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `off` is negative, or `len` is negative, or `off+len` is negative or greater than the length of the array `b`.

  - ### update

    public void update(ByteBuffer buffer)
    Updates the checksum with the bytes from the specified buffer. The checksum is updated with the remaining bytes in the buffer, starting at the buffer's position. Upon return, the buffer's position will be updated to its limit; its limit will not have been changed.
    Specified by:
      `update` in interface `Checksum`
    Parameters:
      `buffer` - the ByteBuffer to update the checksum with

  - ### reset

    public void reset()
    Resets the checksum to initial value.
    Specified by:
      `reset` in interface `Checksum`

  - ### getValue

    public long getValue()
    Returns the checksum value.
    Specified by:
      `getValue` in interface `Checksum`
    Returns:
      the current checksum value
