  - createCell
```
public HSSFCell createCell(int column)
```
    Use this to create new cells within the row and return it.
    The cell that is returned is a CellType.BLANK. The type can be changed either through calling setCellValue or setCellType.
    
    Specified by:
    
    createCell in interface Row
    
    Parameters:
    
    column - - the column number this cell represents
    
    Returns:
    
    HSSFCell a high level representation of the created cell.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if columnIndex < 0 or greater than 255, the maximum number of columns supported by the Excel binary format (.xls)
  - createCell
```
public HSSFCell createCell(int columnIndex,

```
    Deprecated. POI 3.15 beta 3
    
    Use this to create new cells within the row and return it.
    The cell that is returned will be of the requested type. The type can be changed either through calling setCellValue or setCellType, but there is a small overhead to doing this, so it is best to create the required type up front.
    
    Specified by:
    
    createCell in interface Row
    
    Parameters:
    
    columnIndex - - the column number this cell represents
    
    type - - the cell's data type
    
    Returns:
    
    HSSFCell a high level representation of the created cell.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if columnIndex < 0 or greater than 255, the maximum number of columns supported by the Excel binary format (.xls)

    Returns:
    
    RowRecord this row represents
  - isFormatted
```
public boolean isFormatted()
```
    Is this row formatted? Most aren't, but some rows do have whole-row styles. For those that do, you can get the formatting from getRowStyle()
    
    Specified by:
    
    isFormatted in interface Row
  - getRowStyle
```
public HSSFCellStyle getRowStyle()
```
    Returns the whole-row cell styles. Most rows won't have one of these, so will return null. Call isFormatted() to check first.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getRowStyle in interface Row
  - setRowStyle
```
public void setRowStyle(HSSFCellStyle style)
```
    Applies a whole-row cell styling to the row.
  - setRowStyle
```
public void setRowStyle(CellStyle style)
```
    Applies a whole-row cell styling to the row.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setRowStyle in interface Row
  - cellIterator
```
public java.util.Iterator<Cell> cellIterator()
```
    Specified by:
    
    cellIterator in interface Row
    
    Returns:
    
    cell iterator of the physically defined cells. Note that the 4th element might well not be cell 4, as the iterator will not return un-defined (null) cells. Call getCellNum() on the returned cells to know which cell they are. As this only ever works on physically defined cells, the Row.MissingCellPolicy has no effect.
  - iterator
```
public java.util.Iterator<Cell> iterator()
```
    Alias for cellIterator() to allow foreach loops
    
    Specified by:
    
    iterator in interface java.lang.Iterable<Cell>
  - compareTo
```
public int compareTo(HSSFRow other)
```
    Compares two HSSFRow objects. Two rows are equal if they belong to the same worksheet and their row indexes are equal.
    Specified by:
    
    compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<HSSFRow>
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - the HSSFRow to be compared.
    
    Returns:
    the value 0 if the row number of this HSSFRow is equal to the row number of the argument HSSFRow
    
    a value less than 0 if the row number of this this HSSFRow is numerically less than the row number of the argument HSSFRow
    
    a value greater than 0 if the row number of this this HSSFRow is numerically greater than the row number of the argument HSSFRow
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the argument row belongs to a different worksheet
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)
```
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class java.lang.Object
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class java.lang.Object
