✨ Bio::Search::BlastStatistics — the vibe ✨

okay bestie, so this is Bio::Search::BlastStatistics (you'll see it hanging out in the manual as Bio::S...istics(3pm) 💖), and honestly? It's giving tiny little stats holder. That's the whole job. No drama, no chaos, just a cute little box that carries around the statistics from a Blast report. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

Bio::Search::BlastStatistics — an object for Blast statistics. periodt. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so here's how you actually use it, look:

      # this is a wrapper to hold the statistics from a Blast report
 my $bs = $result->get_statistics();
      # you can get a statistic generically, like this:
 my $kappa  = $bs->get_statistic("kappa");
      # or specifically, like this:
 my $kappa2 = $bs->get_kappa();

see how there's two ways to do the same thing? generic girlie vs. specific girlie. both iconic, both valid. 💜

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

This is a basic container to hold the statistics returned from a Blast. that's it, that's the description. it holds the stats. it's not doing your taxes, it's not rewriting your thesis, it's just ✨holding✨. 🫶

📖 APPENDIX 📖

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _ (iykyk — if you see that underscore, that's a look-but-don't-touch situation 🔥).

🍓 get_statistic

 Title   : get_statistic
 Usage   : $statistic_object->get_statistic($statistic_name);
 Function: Get the value of a statistic named $statistic_name
 Returns : A scalar that should be a string
 Args    : A scalar that should be a string

so you hand it the name of a statistic, and it hands you back the value. it's giving "what's kappa?" and it's like "here's kappa." 💖

🍓 set_statistic

 Title   : set_statistic
 Usage   : $statistic_object->set_statistic($statistic_name => $statistic_value);
 Function: Set the value of a statistic named $statistic_name to $statistic_value
 Returns : Void
 Args    : A hash containing name=>value pairs

and this one's the reverse — you tell it the name and the value, and it stores them. returns Void, so don't go looking for a little present in the return value, there isn't one. 🙈
