Data::Object::Integer - An Integer Object for Perl 5
version 0.30
use Data::Object::Integer; my $integer = Data::Object::Integer->new(9);
Data::Object::Integer provides common methods for operating on Perl 5 integer data. Integer methods work on data that meets the criteria for being an integer. An integer holds and manipulates an arbitrary sequence of bytes, typically representing numeric characters. Users of integers should be aware of the methods that modify the integer itself as opposed to returning a new integer. Unless stated, it may be safe to assume that the following methods copy, modify and return new integers based on their function.
This class inherits all functionality from the Data::Object::Role::Integer role and implements proxy methods as documented herewith.
# given 1 $integer->downto(0); # [1,0]
The downto method returns an array reference containing integer decreasing values down to and including the limit. This method returns a Data::Object::Array object.
# given 1 $integer->eq(1); # 1
The eq method performs a numeric equality operation. This method returns a Data::Object::Number object representing a boolean.
# given 1 $integer->gt(1); # 0
The gt method performs a numeric greater-than comparison. This method returns a Data::Object::Number object representing a boolean.
# given 1 $integer->gte(1); # 1
The gte method performs a numeric greater-than-or-equal-to comparison. This method returns a Data::Object::Number object representing a boolean.
# given 1 $integer->lt(1); # 0
The lt method performs a numeric less-than comparison. This method returns a Data::Object::Number object representing a boolean.
# given 1 $integer->lte(1); # 1
The lte method performs a numeric less-than-or-equal-to comparison. This method returns a Data::Object::Number object representing a boolean.
# given 1 $integer->ne(0); # 1
The ne method performs a numeric equality operation. This method returns a Data::Object::Number object representing a boolean.
# given 1 $integer->to(2); # [1,2] $integer->to(0); # [1,0]
The to method returns an array reference containing integer increasing or decreasing values to and including the limit in ascending or descending order based on the value of the floating-point object. This method returns a Data::Object::Array object.
# given 1 $integer->upto(2); # [1,2]
The upto method returns an array reference containing integer increasing values up to and including the limit. This method returns a Data::Object::Array object.
This class overloads the following operators for your convenience.
!!$integer # equivilent to $integer->data
"$integer" # equivilent to $integer->data
$value ~~ $integer # equivilent to $integer->data
