method Numeric
Documentation for method Numeric
assembled from the following types:
class StrDistance
From StrDistance
(StrDistance) method Numeric
Returns the distance as a number.
class Endian
From Endian
(Endian) routine Numeric
multi method Numeric(Endian --> Int)
Returns the value part of the enum
pair.
say NativeEndian.Numeric; # OUTPUT: «0»say LittleEndian.Numeric; # OUTPUT: «1»say BigEndian.Numeric; # OUTPUT: «2»
Note that the actual numeric values are subject to change. So please use the named values instead.
class List
From List
(List) method Numeric
Defined as:
method Numeric(List: --> Int)
Returns the number of elements in the list (same as .elems
).
say (1,2,3,4,5).Numeric; # OUTPUT: «5»
role Numeric
From Numeric
(Numeric) method Numeric
Defined as:
multi method Numeric(Numeric: --> Numeric)multi method Numeric(Numeric: --> Numeric)
The :D
variant simply returns the invocant. The :U
variant issues a warning about using an uninitialized value in numeric context and then returns self.new
.
enum Bool
From Bool
(Bool) routine Numeric
multi method Numeric(Bool --> Int)
Returns the value part of the enum
pair.
say False.Numeric; # OUTPUT: «0»say True.Numeric; # OUTPUT: «1»
class Capture
From Capture
(Capture) method Numeric
Defined as:
method Numeric(Capture: --> Int)
Returns the number of positional elements in the Capture.
say \(1,2,3, apples => 2).Numeric; # OUTPUT: «3»
class Str
From Str
(Str) method Numeric
Defined as:
method Numeric(Str: --> Numeric)
Coerces the string to Numeric using semantics equivalent to val routine. Fails with X::Str::Numeric
if the coercion to a number cannot be done.
Only Unicode characters with property Nd
, as well as leading and trailing whitespace are allowed, with the special case of the empty string being coerced to 0
. Synthetic codepoints (e.g. "7\x[308]"
) are forbidden.
While Nl
and No
characters can be used as numeric literals in the language, their conversion via Str.Numeric
will fail, by design. See unival if you need to coerce such characters to Numeric
.
class ComplexStr
From ComplexStr
(ComplexStr) method Numeric
Defined as:
multi method Numeric(ComplexStr: --> Complex)multi method Numeric(ComplexStr: --> Complex)
The :D
variant returns the numeric portion of the invocant. The :U
variant issues a warning about using an uninitialized value in numeric context and then returns value <0+0i>
.
class Nil
From Nil
(Nil) method Numeric
method Numeric()
Warns the user that they tried to numify a Nil
.
class Map
From Map
(Map) method Numeric
Defined as:
method Numeric(Map: --> Int)
Returns the number of pairs stored in the Map
(same as .elems
).
my = Map.new('a' => 2, 'b' => 17);say .Numeric; # OUTPUT: «2»
class IO::Path
From IO::Path
(IO::Path) method Numeric
Defined as:
method Numeric(IO::Path: --> Numeric)
Coerces .basename
to Numeric. Fails with X::Str::Numeric
if base name is not numerical.

From IntStr
(IntStr) method Numeric
Defined as:
multi method Numeric(IntStr: --> Int)multi method Numeric(IntStr: --> Int)
The :D
variant returns the numeric portion of the invocant. The :U

.
