Number

Routines for numbers. The Number object is not supposed to be used directly. The functions below are available for primitive values of the number type.

Example:

x = 2.toString(); // x is "2"
t = typeof(x); // t is "string"

Note: the SurgeScript Runtime stores numbers as 64-bit floating point values (following the IEEE 754 standard). Integer numbers are accurate up to 15 digits.

Functions

valueOf

valueOf()

The primitive value of the number, i.e., the number itself.

Returns

The number.

toString

toString()

Converts the number to a string.

Returns

The number converted to a string.

equals

equals(x)

Compares the number to another number x. This routine performs a comparison between floating point numbers. It's recommended to use Math.approximately() instead.

Arguments

• x: number. The value to compare the number to.

Returns

Returns true if the numbers are equal.

isFinite

isFinite()

Checks if the number is finite.

Available since: SurgeScript 0.5.2

Returns

Returns true if the number is finite.

isNaN

isNaN()

Checks if the value is NaN (Not-a-Number).

Available since: SurgeScript 0.5.2

Returns

Returns true if the value is NaN.

isInteger

isInteger()

Checks if the number is an integer.

Available since: SurgeScript 0.5.2

Returns

Returns true if the number is an integer.
