HTML::O...::Number(3)

📦 version 0.6.0, in alpine 3.24

✨ Welcome, bestie — this is HTML::O...::Number(3), aka User Contributed Perl Documentation ✨

Ok so gather round: this is the HTML::Object::XPath::Number page, and it’s giving small-but-mighty numeric-value energy. No cap, it’s a whole class for holding numbers in XPath land.

🌸 NAME 🌸

HTML::Object::XPath::Number — HTML Object XPath Number Class

🧚 SYNOPSIS 🧚

use HTML::Object::XPath::Number;
my $num = HTML::Object::XPath::Number->new ||
    die( HTML::Object::XPath::Number->error, "\n" );

⭐ VERSION ⭐

v0.2.0

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This module holds simple numeric values. It does not support -0, +/- Infinity, or NaN, even though the XPath spec says it should — yes, that’s the vibe check, and it’s a lil’ gap 😭. Periodt.

💅 METHODS 💅

💖 new

You hand it a "number" and it makes a fresh HTML::Object::XPath::Number object with that value in "number". It also does some rudimentary numeric checking on "number" to make sure it actually is a number. Slay.

✨ as_string

Returns a string representation of the number, or NaN if it’s undefined.

🎀 as_xml

Same as as_string, but in xml format.

🔥 cmp

Returns the equivalent of Perl’s own cmp in perlop operation.

🌈 evaluate

Returns the current object. Main character energy, honestly.

🫶 getAttributes

Returns an empty array reference in scalar context and an empty list in list context.

🦋 getChildNodes

Returns an empty array reference in scalar context and an empty list in list context.

🍓 new_literal

Returns a new HTML::Object::XPath::Literal object, passing it whatever arguments was provided.

👑 string_value

Returns the value of the current object by calling value.

💀 to_boolean

Returns true if the current object has a true value, or false otherwise.

🙈 to_literal

Returns a new HTML::Object::XPath::Litteral object of the stringification of the current object. (Yes, Litteral is exactly what the page says — iykyk.)

💜 to_number

Returns the current object.

🧮 value

This returns the numeric value held. This is also the method used to return the value from strinfgification — that spelling is on the page, bestie 😭.
