### Method Detail

#### encodeFloat

    public static byte[] encodeFloat(float payload)

#### encodeFloat

    public static byte[] encodeFloat(float payload,
                     byte[] data,
                     int offset)

#### encodeInt

    public static byte[] encodeInt(int payload)

#### encodeInt

    public static byte[] encodeInt(int payload,
                   byte[] data,
                   int offset)

#### decodeFloat

    public static float decodeFloat(byte[] bytes)

Returns:
  the decoded float
See Also:
  `decodeFloat(byte[], int)`, `encodeFloat(float)`

#### decodeFloat

    public static final float decodeFloat(byte[] bytes,
                    int offset)

Decode the payload that was encoded using `encodeFloat(float)`. NOTE: the length of the array must be at least offset + 4 long.

Parameters:
  `bytes` - The bytes to decode
  `offset` - The offset into the array.
Returns:
  The float that was encoded
See Also:
  `encodeFloat(float)`

#### decodeInt

    public static final int decodeInt(byte[] bytes,
                int offset)
