class NumStr is Allomorph is Num { }

Code

NumStr is a dual value type, a subclass of both Allomorph, hence Str, and Num.

See Allomorph for further details.

Raku highlighting

my $num-str = <42.1e0>;
say $num-str.^name;         # OUTPUT: «NumStr␤»

my Num $num = $num-str;     # OK!
my Str $str = $num-str;     # OK!

# ∈ operator cares about object identity
say 42e10 ∈ <42e10  55  1>; # OUTPUT: «False␤»

Methods §

method new §

Raku highlighting

method new(Num $i, Str $s)

Code

The constructor requires both the Num and the Str value, when constructing one directly the values can be whatever is required:

my $f = NumStr.new(42.1e0, "forty two and a bit");
say +$f; # OUTPUT: «42.1␤»
say ~$f; # OUTPUT: «"forty two and a bit"␤»

Code

method Num §

Raku highlighting

method Num

Code

Returns the Num value of the NumStr.

method Numeric §

Raku highlighting

multi method Numeric(NumStr:D: --> Num:D)
multi method Numeric(NumStr:U: --> Num:D)

Code

The :D variant returns the numeric portion of the invocant. The :U variant issues a warning about using an uninitialized value in numeric context and then returns value 0e0.

method Real §

Raku highlighting

multi method Real(NumStr:D: --> Num:D)
multi method Real(NumStr:U: --> Num:D)

Code

The :D variant returns the numeric portion of the invocant. The :U variant issues a warning about using an uninitialized value in numeric context and then returns value 0e0.

Operators §

infix ===§

Raku highlighting

multi infix:<===>(NumStr:D $a, NumStr:D $b)

Code

NumStr Value identity operator. Returns True if the Num values of $a and $b are identical and their Str values are also identical. Returns False otherwise.
