Bit::V...inimal(3pm)

💖 Bit::Vector::Minimal — okay bestie, let's talk bits 💖

So this is Bit::Vector::Minimal, straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the Perl world. It's a whole little module and it is, no cap, the object-oriented wrapper around vec() that your Perl brain has been waiting for. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

Bit::Vector::Minimal — an object-oriented wrapper around vec(). That's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's you, living your best life:

use Bit::Vector::Minimal;
my $vec = Bit::Vector->new(size => 8, width => 1, endianness => "little");
# These are the defaults

$vec->set(1); # $vec's internal vector now looks like "00000010"
$vec->get(3); # 0

Yes bestie, those are the defaults, I said what I said. ✨

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

This is the much simplified, lightweight version of Bit::Vector — think of it like Bit::Vector's chill younger sibling who still gets the job done. It wraps Perl's vec function (which is, let's be honest, sometimes confusing 🙈) inside an object-oriented abstraction, so you get to touch bits without crying. Iconic behavior, honestly. 👑

---

💅 METHODS 💅

🧚 new

Makes you a brand new bit vector. By default you get a one-byte vector with 8 one-bit "slots", and bit zero lives on the right of the bit pattern. Cozy.

Wanna change things up? Pass some parameters to the constructor, queen:

• size — this alters the size in bits of the vector. 📏
• width — this alters the width of the slots. 📐
• endianness — this controls whether the zeroth place sits on the right or the left of the bit vector. 🔄

⚠️ Heads up bestie: the module will die if width is not an integer divisor of size. It is not playing. Do the math first. 💀

🍓 set(POS[, VALUE])

Sets the bit or slot at position POS to value VALUE. If you don't hand over a VALUE, it goes "all bits on" instead. It's giving generous. 💖

🌈 get(POS)

Returns the bit or slot sitting pretty at position POS. Just the one. No extras. Periodt. ✨

🔥 display

Displays the vector. It's for debugging purposes, so like, don't make it your whole UI aesthetic or anything. 👀
