Dart numbers can be classified as −
-
int − Integer of arbitrary size. The int data type is used to represent whole numbers.
-
double − 64-bit (double-precision) floating-point numbers, as specified by the IEEE 754 standard. The double data type is used to represent fractional numbers
The num type is inherited by the int and double types. The dart core library allows numerous operations on numeric values.
The syntax for declaring a number is as given below −
int var_name; // declares an integer variable double var_name; // declares a double variable
Example
void main() { // declare an integer int num1 = 10; // declare a double value double num2 = 10.50; // print the values print(num1); print(num2); }
It will produce the following output −
10 10.5
Note − The Dart VM will throw an exception if fractional values are assigned to integer variables.
Parsing
The parse() static function allows parsing a string containing numeric literal into a number. The following illustration demonstrates the same −
void main() { print(num.parse(''12'')); print(num.parse(''10.91'')); }
The above code will result in the following output −
12 10.91
The parse function throws a FormatException if it is passed any value other than numerals. The following code shows how to pass an alpha-numeric value to the parse() function.
Example
void main() { print(num.parse(''12A'')); print(num.parse(''AAAA'')); }
The above code will result in the following output −
Unhandled exception: FormatException: 12A #0 num.parse (dart:core/num.dart:446) #1 main (file:///D:/Demos/numbers.dart:4:13) #2 _startIsolate.<anonymous closure> (dart:isolatepatch/isolate_patch.dart:261) #3 _RawReceivePortImpl._handleMessage (dart:isolatepatch/isolate_patch.dart:148)
Number Properties
The following table lists the properties supported by Dart numbers.
Sr.No | Property & Description |
---|---|
1 | hashcode
Returns a hash code for a numerical value. |
2 | isFinite
True if the number is finite; otherwise, false. |
3 | isInfinite
True if the number is positive infinity or negative infinity; otherwise, false. |
4 | isNan
True if the number is the double Not-a-Number value; otherwise, false. |
5 | isNegative
True if the number is negative; otherwise, false. |
6 | sign
Returns minus one, zero or plus one depending on the sign and numerical value of the number. |
7 | isEven
Returns true if the number is an even number. |
8 | isOdd
Returns true if the number is an odd number. |
Number Methods
Given below are a list of commonly used methods supported by numbers −
Sr.No | Method & Description |
---|---|
1 | abs
Returns the absolute value of the number. |
2 | ceil
Returns the least integer no smaller than the number. |
3 | compareTo
Compares this to other number. |
4 | Floor
Returns the greatest integer not greater than the current number. |
5 | remainder
Returns the truncated remainder after dividing the two numbers. |
6 | Round
Returns the integer closest to the current numbers. |
7 | toDouble
Returns the double equivalent of the number. |
8 | toInt
Returns the integer equivalent of the number. |
9 | toString
Returns the string equivalent representation of the number. |
10 | truncate
Returns an integer after discarding any fractional digits. |
