💜 PPI::Token::Number::Octal — bestie edition

okay so you're looking at PPI::To...r::Octal(3), which is the manual page for PPI::Token::Number::Octal, and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, and it's about to make base-8 numbers make sense. let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

PPI::Token::Number::Octal — Token class for a binary number

okay bestie i KNOW. the name says octal and the one-liner says "binary number". that is what the page says, so that is what i'm telling you. no cap. 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

  $n = 0777;      # octal integer

that's it. that's the vibe. a leading zero and suddenly you're in base 8, living your best life 💅

🦋 INHERITANCE 🦋

the family tree, and yes she comes from a long line of icons:

  PPI::Token::Number::Octal
  isa PPI::Token::Number
      isa PPI::Token
          isa PPI::Element

so PPI::Token::Number::Octal isa PPI::Token::Number, which isa PPI::Token, which isa PPI::Element. generational excellence, fr fr 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the PPI::Token::Number::Octal class is used for tokens that represent base-8 numbers. that's the whole assignment. she shows up when something in your Perl source is chillin' in octal, and she holds that token's whole personality. 🌈

💖 METHODS 💖

base

Returns the base for the number: 8.

yes queen, she knows what she is. eight. base eight. not base ten, not base two. eight. 🎯

literal

Return the numeric value of this token.

so if you want the actual number hiding inside the token, this is your girl — she hands you the numeric value back. 🍓

🫶 SUPPORT 🫶

See the support section in the main module.

(that's the main module's problem, not ours — go check over there bestie 😭)
