## Detailed Description

Methods in this pseudo-class can be executed on integer values.

## Member Function Documentation

## abs()

int <int>::abs | ( |  | ) |

Returns the absolute value of the number.

Code Flags:
  CONSTANT

Example:
  i = i.abs();

Returns
  the absolute value of the number

Note
  equivalent to abs(int)

Since
  Qore 0.8.8

## encodeLsb()

binary <int>::encodeLsb | ( | int | size = `4` | ) |

returns a binary object with the integer encoded in the given number of bytes in least significant byte order

Code Flags:
  RET_VALUE_ONLY

Example:
  b += i.encodeLsb(8);

Parameters

  size | the size of the encoded binary object; must be 1, 2, 4, or 8 or a SIZE-ERROR exception is raised

Returns
  a binary object with the integer encoded in the given number of bytes in least significant byte order

Exceptions

  SIZE-ERROR | the argument is not 1, 2, 4, or 8 or the argument cannot fit in the number of bytes requested

Since
  Qore 0.8.8

## encodeMsb()

binary <int>::encodeMsb | ( | int | size = `4` | ) |

returns a binary object with the integer encoded in the given number of bytes in most significant byte order

Code Flags:
  RET_VALUE_ONLY

Example:
  b += i.encodeMsb(8);

Parameters

  size | the size of the encoded binary object; must be 1, 2, 4, or 8 or a SIZE-ERROR exception is raised

Returns
  a binary object with the integer encoded in the given number of bytes in most significant byte order

Exceptions

  SIZE-ERROR | the argument is not 1, 2, 4, or 8 or the argument cannot fit in the number of bytes requested

Since
  Qore 0.8.8

## format() [1/2]

string <int>::format | ( | string | fmt | ) |

Returns a formatted string of the integer according to the format argument.

Code Flags:
  CONSTANT

Parameters

  fmt

  the format string has the following format:
  <thousands_separator>`[`<decimal_separator>[<decimals>]`]`
  where:
  - thousands_separator and decimal_separator are single characters defining the thousands and decimal separator characters respectively, and
  - decimals is one or more digits defining how may decimals should appear after the decimal point - if this is non-zero then the decimals will all be `"0"`; a negative number means to round that number of digits before the decimal place

Returns
  a string of the integer according to a format string; if the format string does not follow the given format, then the number without formatting is returned

Example:
  int i = -48392093894;
  string nstr = i.format(".,3"); # returns "-48.392.093.894,000"

  - <number>::format(string)
  - <int>::format(int, string, string)
  - <float>::format(int, string, string)

  Qore 0.8.6

## format() [2/2]

string <int>::format | ( | int | prec = `2`,
|  | string | decimal_sep = `"."`,
|  | string | thousands_sep = `""`
| ) |  |

Returns a formatted string of the integer according to format arguments.

Code Flags:
  RET_VALUE_ONLY

Parameters

  prec | the number of digits after the decimal point; a negative value means to round that number of digits before the decimal place, note that a positive value here will result in the given number of zeros appearing after the decimal place
  decimal_sep | a single character that defines the decimal separator; an empty string means no decimal separator
  thousands_sep | a single character that defines the thousands and further separators every three digits before the decimal point; an empty string means no thousands separator

Returns
  a string representing the integer according to the format arguments as described above

Example:
  int i = -48392093894;
  string nstr = i.format(3, ",", "."); # returns "-48.392.093.894,000"

## toBase()

string <int>::toBase | ( | int | base = `10` | ) |

Converts the integer to a different base (and returns it as a string).

  Qore 0.8.13

## toUnicode()

string <int>::toUnicode | ( |  | ) |

Code Flags:
  RET_VALUE_ONLY

Example:
  string str = 0x00f8.toUnicode()

Returns
