✨ Statistics::R::REXP::Expression — the manual, but make it make sense ✨

okay so bestie, you found the page 💖 this is Statis...ression(3pm) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's genuinely a cute one, i promise. let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Statistics::R::REXP::Expression — it's an R expression vector, no cap 💅

---

🌈 VERSION 🌈

version 1.0002 ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use Statistics::R::REXP::Expression

# Representation of the R call C<expresson(1 + 2))>:
my $vec = Statistics::R::REXP::Expression->new([
    Statistics::R::REXP::Language->new([
        Statistics::R::REXP::Symbol->new('+'),
        Statistics::R::REXP::Double->new([1]),
        Statistics::R::REXP::Double->new([2])
])]);
print $vec->elements;

like… look at her. building a whole R call out of pieces and then printing the elements. main character energy fr fr 👑

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so an object of this class represents an R expression vector, aka "EXPRSXP" 🎀 these objects hold a list of calls, symbols, etc. — like, for example, the stuff you get back when you call the R function "parse" or "expression" 🌸

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

"Statistics::R::REXP:Expression" inherits from Statistics::R::REXP::List, and lowkey it adds no restrictions on the value of its elements. free spirit. no notes ✨

⭐ sexptype

the SEXPTYPE of expressions is "EXPRSXP" 💅 that's the whole thing. iconic.

🍓 to_pl

the Perl value of the expression vector is an array reference to the Perl values of its "elements" 🌈 (so basically it's equivalent to "map {$_-"to_pl}, $vec->elements>".)

and here's the lil plot twist — unlike List, elements that are atomic vectors of length 1 are still represented as a one-element array reference, rather than as scalar values 👀 so don't get caught slippin on that one.

---

💀 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS 💀

the classes in the "REXP" hierarchy are intended to be immutable. please do not try to change their value or attributes 🙈 like, they said what they said. respect the boundaries bestie.

there are no known bugs in this module. for bug reporting, please see Statistics::R::IO 🫶
