LaTeXM...:Number(3pm)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, let me introduce you to LaTeXML::Common::Number — it's the whole representation-of-numbers situation, and yes, it extends LaTeXML::Common::Object (so it's got that Object main character energy, iykyk). This is page LaTeXML::Common::Number(3pm) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's lowkey iconic ✨

🎀 Exported functions 🎀

• $number = Number($num); — literally creates a Number object that represents $num. that's it, that's the function, she's simple and she slays 🫶

🌸 Methods 🌸

• @tokens = $object->unlist; — hands you back a list of the tokens that make up this $object. giving inventory 💅
• $string = $object->toString; — returns a string representing $object. the classic toString moment, no cap ✨
• $string = $object->ptValue; — returns a value representing $object without the measurement unit (pt), and it's got limited decimal places. so like, the pt is not invited to this party 🙈
• $string = $object->pxValue; — returns an integer value representing $object in pixels 🔥 and heads up: it uses the state variable DPI (dots per inch), so that's a whole thing you should know about, fr fr
• $n = $object->valueOf; — returns the value in scaled points (ignoring shrink and stretch, if any). shrink and stretch are just vibing in the corner, not part of the math 💀
• $n = $object->smaller($other); — returns $object or $other, whichever is smaller. the humble one wins 🎀
• $n = $object->larger($other); — returns $object or $other, whichever is larger. big energy only 👑
• $n = $object->absolute; — returns an object representing the absolute value of the $object. negatives get therapy and come back positive 💖
• $n = $object->sign; — returns an integer: -1 for negatives, 0 for 0 and 1 for positives. three moods, pick one 🦋
• $n = $object->negate; — returns an object representing the negative of the $object. flip it, reverse it, periodt 🌈
• $n = $object->add($other); — returns an object representing the sum of $object and $other. friendship math 🤝
• $n = $object->subtract($other); — returns an object representing the difference between $object and $other. the difference, get it, I'm so funny 😭
• $n = $object->multiply($n); — returns an object representing the product of $object and $n (a regular number). oh, and $n here is literally a regular number, not being weird about it 💅
• $n = $object->divide($n); — returns an object representing the (truncating) division of $object by $n (a regular number). truncating!! she cuts the decimals off and doesn't look back ✂️
• $n = $object->divideround($n); — returns an object representing the (rounding) division of $object by $n (a regular number). this one rounds instead of truncating, so pick your fighter 🥊
