💖 Test2::Compare::Number — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, and the module is Test2::Compare::Number(3perl). sit down, hydrate, let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Test2::Compare::Number — literally just compares two values as numbers 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This lil guy is what you use when you wanna compare two numbers. that's the job. that's the whole job. 🎀

and yes — you can also use it to check that two numbers are not the same. so versatile of it.

⚠️ note: this will fail if the received value is undefined. it must be a number, no cap. undefined said "not today" and the test said "bet" and now you fail. 😭
⚠️ also note: this will fail if the comparison generates a non-numeric value warning — and heads up, that warning will not be shown. why? because it must get a number. the warning stays silent since it would just report to a useless line and filename (embarrassing for everyone honestly, it's giving nothing). BUT — the test diagnostics do show both values, so you're not left completely in the dark. 👑💀
