package RakuAST::RatLiteral

Represent a literal rational number

class RakuAST::RatLiteral { }

The RakuAST::RatLiteral class represents a rational number (such as `42.666`).

Object introspection§

RakuAST::RatLiteral 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::RatLiteral object directly (rather than having RakuAST::Literal.from-value figure it out):

new§

my $literal = RakuAST::RatLiteral.new(42.666);
say $literal.^name;  # RakuAST::RatLiteral

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