Integer methods
Integer is RiX’s exact whole-number object. Integer methods never mutate the receiver.
Method reference
| Full syntax | Result | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
integer.Negate() |
Integer |
Return the additive inverse. |
integer.Abs() |
Integer |
Return the non-negative magnitude. |
integer.E(exponent) |
Integer \| Rational |
Multiply by exactly 10^exponent; a negative exponent may produce a Rational. |
integer.BitLength() |
Integer |
Return the number of binary digits needed for the magnitude. |
integer.ToString() |
String |
Return the exact base-10 spelling. |
integer.CheckTraits() |
1 \| null |
Check attached semantic traits, warning and returning null on a failed check. |
Checked examples
The ##@ comments are executable RiX checks run by the documentation build.
(-12).Negate() ##@ == 12
(-12).Abs() ##@ == 12
125.E(2) ##@ == 12500
45.E(-1) ##@ == 9/2
13.BitLength() ##@ == 4
(-120).ToString() ##@ == "-120"
7.CheckTraits() ##@ == 1E is exact scientific scaling, not floating-point conversion. For example, 45.E(-1) remains the exact Rational 9/2.
