Bubblegum::Object::Number - Common Methods for Operating on Numbers

VERSION

version 0.19

SYNOPSIS

    use Bubblegum;

    my $number = 123456789;
    say $number->incr; # 123456790

DESCRIPTION

Number methods work on data that meets the criteria for being a number. A number holds and manipulates an arbitrary sequence of bytes, typically representing numberic characters (0-9). It is not necessary to use this module as it is loaded automatically by the Bubblegum class.

METHODS

abs

    my $number = 12;
    $number->abs; # 12

    $number = -12;
    $number->abs; # 12

The abs method returns the absolute value of the subject.

atan2

    my $number = 1;
    $number->atan2(1); # 0.785398163397448

The atan2 method returns the arctangent of Y/X in the range -PI to PI

cos

    my $number = 12;
    $number->cos; # 0.843853958732492

The cos method computes the cosine of the subject (expressed in radians).

decr

    my $number = 123456789;
    $number->decr; # 123456788

The decr method returns the numeric subject decremented by 1.

exp

    my $number = 0;
    $number->exp; # 1

    $number = 1;
    $number->exp; # 2.71828182845905

    $number = 1.5;
    $number->exp; # 4.48168907033806

The exp method returns e (the natural logarithm base) to the power of the subject.

hex

    my $number = 175;
    $number->hex; # 0xaf

The hex method returns a hex string representing the value of the subject.

incr

    my $number = 123456789;
    $number->incr; # 123456790

The incr method returns the numeric subject incremented by 1.

int

    my $number = 12.5;
    $number->int; # 12

The int method returns the integer portion of the subject. Do not use this method for rounding.

log

    my $number = 12345;
    $number->log; # 9.42100640177928

The log method returns the natural logarithm (base e) of the subject.

mod

    my $number = 12;
    $number->mod(1); # 0
    $number->mod(2); # 0
    $number->mod(3); # 0
    $number->mod(4); # 0
    $number->mod(5); # 2

The mod method returns the division remainder of the subject divided by the argment.

neg

    my $number = 12345;
    $number->neg; # -12345

The neg method returns a negative version of the subject.

pow

    my $number = 12345;
    $number->pow(3); # 1881365963625

The pow method returns a number, the result of a math operation, which is the subject to the power of the argument.

sin

    my $number = 12345;
    $number->sin; # -0.993771636455681

The sin method returns the sine of the subject (expressed in radians).

sqrt

    my $number = 12345;
    $number->sqrt; # 111.108055513541

The sqrt method returns the positive square root of the subject.

to_array

    my $int = 1;
    $int->to_array; # [1]

The to_array method is used for coercion and simply returns an array reference where the first element contains the subject.

to_code

    my $int = 1;
    $int->to_code; # sub { 1 }

The to_code method is used for coercion and simply returns a code reference which always returns the subject when called.

to_hash

    my $int = 1;
    $int->to_hash; # { 1 => 1 }

The to_hash method is used for coercion and simply returns a hash reference with a single key and value, having the key and value both contain the subject.

to_integer

    my $int = 1;
    $int->to_integer; # 1

The to_integer method is used for coercion and simply returns the subject.

to_string

    my $int = 1;
    $int->to_string; # '1'

The to_string method is used for coercion and simply returns the stringified version of the subject.
