NumberX is the generic designation for the following four basic classes of NumberParser:
Number. The most simple and efficient one. It is decimal-based.NumberD. Similar to Number, but capable to deal with any numeric type via dynamic.NumberO. It manages different numeric types simultaneously. The code of its specific functionalities is being analysed in the next section.NumberP. It parses strings into numeric types. There is one section analysing its specific code.
All NumberX have the following
public fields in common:
Value. Main numeric information of the given variable. Its type can be either decimal or dynamic (i.e., any supported numeric type).BaseTenExponent. Exponent of the base-ten factor which complements Value when required (i.e., being outside the range of the corresponding numeric type). For example, Value 6 and BaseTenExponent 3 equals 6*10^3 or 6000.Error. An ErrorTypesNumber variable telling the user about any error, which is managed internally without raising exceptions.
All NumberX have also the following features in common:
- Custom overloaded functionalities.
- Arithmetic operators.
Number number = new Number(1m) + 2m; - Comparison operators.
if (new NumberO(1m) < 2m) { //This condition is true. } - Implicit conversions between each other.
Number number = new NumberD(1); - Implicit conversions of related types.
NumberP numberP = "1.2";
- Custom arithmetic operations accounting for their basic
Value-BaseTenExponent-Error structure and managing all the errors internally (i.e., never raising exceptions).
Most of this code is included in Operations_Private_Managed.cs. The contents of this file are very similar to the ones of UnitParser's Operations_Private_Managed.cs and, consequently, the explanations in the corresponding UnitParser section are somehow applicable here too.
