package RakuAST::NumLiteral

Represent a literal floating point value

class RakuAST::NumLiteral { }

The RakuAST::NumLiteral class represents a literal integer value (such as `42e0`).

Object introspection§

RakuAST::NumLiteral objects are typically created when parsing Raku Programming Language code. So most developers will only need to know how to introspect the objects created.

These introspection methods are available (in alphabetical order):

value§

say $literal.value;

The value method returns the value it is representing.

Object creation§

There is one way to create a RakuAST::NumLiteral object directly (rather than having RakuAST::Literal.from-value figure it out):

new§

my $literal = RakuAST::NumLiteral.new(42e0);
say $literal.^name;  # RakuAST::NumLiteral

Creates a RakuAST::NumLiteral object from the given value. Assumes the value is really a floating point value, does not do any sanity checks.
