NAME

Bubblegum::Object::Scalar - Common Methods for Operating on Scalars

VERSION

version 0.17

SYNOPSIS

use Bubblegum;

my $variable = 12345;
say $variable->or(56789); # 12345

DESCRIPTION

Scalar methods work on data that meets the criteria for being a defined. It is not necessary to use this module as it is loaded automatically by the Bubblegum class.

METHODS

and

my $variable = 12345;
$variable->and(56789); # 56789

$variable = 0;
$variable->and(56789); # 0

The and method performs a short-circuit logical AND operation using the subject as the lvalue and the argument as the rvalue and returns the last truthy value or false.

not

my $variable = 0;
$variable->not; # 1

$variable = 1;
$variable->not; # ''

The not method performs a logical negation of the subject. It's the equivalent of using bang (!) and return true (1) or false (empty string).

or

my $variable = 12345;
$variable->or(56789); # 12345

$variable = 00000;
$variable->or(56789); # 56789

The or method performs a short-circuit logical OR operation using the subject as the lvalue and the argument as the rvalue and returns the first truthy value.

repeat

my $variable = 12345;
$variable->repeat(2); # 1234512345

$variable = 'yes';
$variable->repeat(2); # yesyes

The repeat method returns a string consisting of the subject repeated the number of times specified by the argument.

xor

my $variable = 1;
$variable->xor(1); # 0
$variable->xor(0); # 1

The xor method performs an exclusive OR operation using the subject as the lvalue and the argument as the rvalue and returns true if either but not both is true.
