Bio::L...Policy(3pm)

NAME ✨

Bio::L...Policy — it's a whole class that implements Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicy, and it does the most: it hands you the widest possible and reasonable range for a location. Periodt. 💅

---

SYNOPSIS 💫

Bestie, there's no example code here, you just gotta go read Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI. That's the vibe. 🫶

---

DESCRIPTION 🦋

So objects that implement CoordinatePolicyI are the little helpers that Bio::LocationI-implementing objects call up when they need integer-valued coordinates. Like, "hey, what's the actual number?" and the policy answers. 🎀

This class right here computes coordinates so that you always get the widest possible range — but with some common sense in the mix, because we're not feral. Which means, for example, locations like "<5..100" (that's a start that comes before position 5) will return 5 as the start. Why? Because returned values have to be positive integers, that's why. No zero, no negatives, no nonsense. 🔥

FEEDBACK 💌

User feedback is literally an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules — like, the glow-up is a group project, bestie. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated, no cap. 💖

Support 🫶

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

bioperl-l@bioperl.org

— rather than to the module maintainer directly. Because the way that works is: lots of experienced and responsive experts can look at your problem and quickly address it. Iconic behavior. When you write in, please include a thorough description of the problem, plus code and data examples if at all possible. Give them the whole picture, not just the vibe. 😭

Reporting Bugs 🐛

APPENDIX 🎀

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _ — iykyk, that underscore is the "do not touch, this is backstage" marker. 🙈

start 🌸

• Title: start
• Usage: $start = $policy->start($location);
• Function: Get the integer-valued start coordinate of the given location as computed by this computation policy.
• Returns: A positive integer number. ⭐
• Args: A Bio::LocationI implementing object.

end 🌸

• Title: end
• Usage: $end = $policy->end($location);
• Function: Get the integer-valued end coordinate of the given location as computed by this computation policy.
• Returns: A positive integer number. ⭐
• Args: A Bio::LocationI implementing object.

And that's the whole page, bestie — this one shipped as part of perl v5.32.1, dated 2021-08-15. Slay, go compute some coordinates. 🦋💖✨
