Test::Numeric - Testing utilities for numbers.
use Test::Numeric tests => 8; # The following functions are all exported by Test::Numeric
is_number '12.34e56', "valid number"; is_number '-12.34E56', "valid number"; isnt_number 'test', "not a number"; is_even 2, "an even number"; is_odd 3, "an odd number"; is_integer '123', 'an integer'; isnt_integer '123.45', 'not an integer'; is_formatted '1-.2', '123.45'; isnt_formatted '1-.2', '123.4';
This is a simple testing module that lets you do several tests on numbers. You can check that it is a number, check that it is an integer, check if they are odd or even and finally check if they are of a certain form.
is_number $number, $name;
is_number tests whether $number is a number. The number can be positive or negative, it can have a formatted point and an exponent. These are all valid numbers: 1, 23, 0.34, .34, -12.34e56
is_number
$number
The opposite of is_number.
is_integer $number, $name;
is_integer tests if $number is an integer, ie a whole number. Fails if the number is not a number r not a number at all.
is_integer
The opposite of is_integer. Note that isnt_integer will fail if the number is not a number. So 'abc' may not be an integer but isnt_integer will still fail.
isnt_integer
is_even $number, $name;
is_even tests if the number given is even. Fails for non-integers. Zero is even.
is_even
As is_even, but for odd numbers.
is_formatted $format, $number, $name;
is_formatted allows you to test that the number complies with a certain format. $format tells the function what to check for and is of the form pre.suf where pre and suf are the number of digits before and after the decimal point. They are either just a number ( eg. '3.2' for something like 123.12 ) or a range ( eg. '3.1-2' ) for either 123.1 or 123.12 ).
is_formatted
$format
pre.suf
pre
suf
The range can be open-ended, for example '0-.2' will match any number of digits before the decimal place, and exactly two after.
If the format is incorrect then the test will fail and a warning printed.
This test is intended for things such as id numbers where the number must be something like 000123.
000123
The same as is_formatted but negated.
is_money $number, $name;
This is a conveniance function to test if the value looks like money, ie has a format of 0-.2 - which is tw decimal points. Internally it just calls is_formatted with the correct format.
0-.2
The opposite of is_money.
is_money
Create appropriate test names if none is given.
Add tests to see if a number looks like hex, octal, binary etc.
