Detailed Description

Methods in this pseudo-class can be executed on arbitrary precision number values.

Member Function Documentation

number <number>::abs ( )

Returns the absolute value of the number.

Code Flags:: CONSTANT

Example:: $n = $n.abs();

Returns: the absolute value of the number

Note: equivalent to abs(number)

Since: Qore 0.8.8

string <number>::format ( string fmt )

Returns a string of a formatted number according to a format string.

Code Flags:: CONSTANT

Parameters

fmt

the format string has the following format:
<thousands_separator>[<decimal_separator><decimals>]
where:

thousands_separator and decimal_separator are single ASCII characters defining the thousands and decimal separator characters respectively, and
decimals is a single digit defining how may decimals should appear after the decimal point

Returns: a string of a formatted number according to a format string; if the format string does not follow the given format, then an empty string is returned

Example:: my number $n = -48392093894.2349n;

my string $nstr = $n.format(".,3"); # returns "-48.392.093.894,235"

Since: Qore 0.8.6

bool <number>::infp ( )

Returns True if the number is infinity (+ or -)

Returns: True if the number is infinity (+ or -)

Code Flags:: CONSTANT

Example:: if ($n.infp())

print("the operation resulted in infinity\n");

Since: Qore 0.8.6

bool <number>::intp ( )

Returns True because number values can be converted to integers.

Returns: True because number values can be converted to integers

Code Flags:: CONSTANT

Example:: if ($n.intp())

printf("%y: can be converted to an integer: %d\n", $n, int($n));

Since: Qore 0.8.6

bool <number>::nanp ( )

Returns True if the number is NaN (not a number)

Returns: True if the number is NaN (not a number)

Code Flags:: CONSTANT

Example:: if ($n.nanp())

print("the operation resulted in NaN\n");

Since: Qore 0.8.6

int <number>::prec ( )

Returns the precision of the current number.

Returns: the precision of the current number

Code Flags:: CONSTANT

Example:: printf("precision: %d\n", $n.prec());

Since: Qore 0.8.6

int <number>::sign ( )

Returns -1 if the number is negative, 0 if it is zero, or 1 if it is positive.

Returns: -1 if the number is negative, 0 if it is zero, or 1 if it is positive

Code Flags:: CONSTANT

Example:: printf("sign: %d\n", $n.sign());

Since: Qore 0.8.6

bool <number>::strp ( )

Returns True because number values can be converted to strings.

Returns: True because number values can be converted to strings

Code Flags:: CONSTANT

Example:: if ($n.strp())

printf("%y: can be converted to a string: '%s'\n", $n, string($n));

Since: Qore 0.8.6

string <number>::toString ( int fmt )

Returns the string representation of the number according to the format argument.

Code Flags:: CONSTANT

Parameters

fmt	see Number Formatting Constants for possible values; note that this argument is interpreted as a bit field; if the format argument is not a valid format value (i.e. if none of the formatting bits are set in the argument) then NF_Default is assumed instead

Returns: the string representation of the number according to the format argument

Since: Qore 0.8.6

int <number>::typeCode ( )

Returns Qore::NT_NUMBER.

Returns: Qore::NT_NUMBER

Code Flags:: CONSTANT

Example:: switch ($f.typeCode()) {

case NT_NUMBER:

printf("%y: is a number\n", $f);

break;

}

Since: Qore 0.8.6

bool <number>::val ( )

Returns True if the number is non-zero, False if zero.

Returns: True if the number is non-zero, False if zero

Code Flags:: CONSTANT

Example:: my bool $b = $f.val();
