Detailed Description

Member Function Documentation

abs()

int <int>::abs

(

)

Returns the absolute value of the number.

Code Flags:

CONSTANT

the absolute value of the number

Note

equivalent to abs(int)

Since

Qore 0.8.8

encodeLsb()

int

size = 4

)

returns a binary object with the integer encoded in the given number of bytes in least significant byte order

Code Flags:

RET_VALUE_ONLY

Example:

b += i.encodeLsb(8);

Parameters

size	the size of the encoded binary object; must be 1, 2, 4, or 8 or a SIZE-ERROR exception is raised

Returns

a binary object with the integer encoded in the given number of bytes in least significant byte order

Exceptions

SIZE-ERROR

the argument is not 1, 2, 4, or 8 or the argument cannot fit in the number of bytes requested

Since

Qore 0.8.8

encodeMsb()

binary <int>::encodeMsb

(

int

size = 4

returns a binary object with the integer encoded in the given number of bytes in most significant byte order

Code Flags:

RET_VALUE_ONLY

b += i.encodeMsb(8);

Parameters

size	the size of the encoded binary object; must be 1, 2, 4, or 8 or a SIZE-ERROR exception is raised

Returns

a binary object with the integer encoded in the given number of bytes in most significant byte order

Exceptions

SIZE-ERROR

Since

Qore 0.8.8

format() [1/2]

string <int>::format	(	int	prec = 2,
		string	decimal_sep = ".",
		string	thousands_sep = ""
	)

Returns a formatted string of the integer according to format arguments.

Code Flags:

RET_VALUE_ONLY

Parameters

prec	the number of digits after the decimal point; a negative value means to round that number of digits before the decimal place, note that a positive value here will result in the given number of zeros appearing after the decimal place
decimal_sep	a single character that defines the decimal separator; an empty string means no decimal separator
thousands_sep	a single character that defines the thousands and further separators every three digits before the decimal point; an empty string means no thousands separator

Returns

a string representing the integer according to the format arguments as described above

Example:

int i = -48392093894;
string nstr = i.format(3, ",", "."); # returns "-48.392.093.894,000"

Qore 0.8.13

format() [2/2]

string <int>::format

(

string

fmt

)

Returns a formatted string of the integer according to the format argument.

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 characters defining the thousands and decimal separator characters respectively, and decimals is one or more digits defining how may decimals should appear after the decimal point - if this is non-zero then the decimals will all be "0"; a negative number means to round that number of digits before the decimal place

Returns

a string of the integer according to a format string; if the format string does not follow the given format, then the number without formatting is returned

Example:

int i = -48392093894;
string nstr = i.format(".,3"); # returns "-48.392.093.894,000"

sign()

int <int>::sign

(

)

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

CONSTANT

Example:

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

strp()

bool <int>::strp

toBase()

string <int>::toBase

(

int

base = 10

Code Flags:

RET_VALUE_ONLY

Parameters

base	the base to convert the integer to; this value must be 2 - 36 inclusive or an INVALID-BASE exception will be thrown
