💅 BSON_ITER_AS_DOUBLE ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the BSON_ITER_AS_DOUBLE(3) page — this is libbson's little "just give me a double already" moment, and honestly? iconic. lowkey one of the most useful tiny functions you'll meet. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

double
bson_iter_as_double (const bson_iter_t *iter);

that's it. that's the whole signature. short, sweet, main character energy 💅

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • iter — A bson_iter_t. yes, just the one. a single iterator, no cap. that's your whole input, bestie 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does it do? it fetches the current field as if it were a double. simple as that, fr fr 🌈

bson_iter_as_double() will cast the following types to double:

  • BSON_TYPE_BOOL
  • BSON_TYPE_DOUBLE
  • BSON_TYPE_INT32
  • BSON_TYPE_INT64

and any other value will return 0. yep. that's the whole deal — not a match, you get a 0, walk away 😭

💀 heads up bestie: "any other value will return 0" means any other type literally gives you a zero back. not an error, not a warning — just 0. so don't be out here assuming your value got through, okay? vibe check your iterator first 🙈

🔥 RETURNS 🔥

The value type casted to double. that's the tea ☕ — you get your number back, typed as a double, slay 👑
