💖 PPI::Token::Number::Exp — the manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the page for PPI::Token::Number::Exp(3), from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and honestly? she's a lil icon. a whole entire token class whose only job is exponential notation numbers. she doesn't do much but she does it flawlessly. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

PPI::Token::Number::Exp — the token class for an exponential notation number 🧮💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

$n = 1.0e-2;
$n = 1e+2;

literally that's it. that's the whole vibe. numbers that said "i'm not doing regular decimal notation today" 🦋

👑 INHERITANCE 👑

the family tree, and yes she comes from good stock:

PPI::Token::Number::Exp
isa PPI::Token::Number::Float
    isa PPI::Token::Number
        isa PPI::Token
            isa PPI::Element

read that chain like a genealogy episode. she's a Float, who's a Number, who's a Token, who's an Element. four generations of absolute royalty. main character lineage fr fr 🌈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the PPI::Token::Number::Exp class is what you use for tokens that represent floating point numbers with exponential notation. that's the whole assignment. that's what she does. and she ate. 🔥

if you've got a number doing the e thing — mantissa, exponent, the whole scientific-notation slay — that's her department. periodt.
