JE::Ob...Number(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

JE::Object::Number — the JavaScript Number object class, bestie ✨

Like, it's the object wrapper version of a JS number. Not the plain primitive. We'll get to that. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use JE;
use JE::Object::Number;

$j = new JE;

$js_num_obj = new JE::Object::Number $j, 953.7;

$perl_scalar = $js_num_obj->value;

0 + $js_num_obj;  # 953.7

okay so you make a JE first, then you wrap a number in a JE::Object::Number, and then you can pull the Perl scalar back out with ->value — or just, like, do math on it and Perl goes "sure bestie" and it numifies to 953.7 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This class implements JavaScript Number objects for JE. 🦋

Now the tea: what's the difference between this and JE::Number? Okay so JE::Number handles primitive number values — the raw little numbers, the ones that are just vibes and a value. This module handles the objects. Like, the actual Number objects, with the wrapper and the methods and the main character energy. 👑

Two different things. Both valid. Don't mix them up. 💀

🎀 METHODS 🎀

Most of the methods? Already described over in JE::Types, go read that, it's giving comprehensive. 📚

Only the stuff that's specific to JE::Object::Number gets explained here, because that's the whole point. ✨

value

Returns a Perl scalar containing the number that the object holds. 🍓

That's it. That's the method. It gives you back your number. No cap.

class

Returns the string 'Number'. 🌈
