interface Numberable
Interface for objects that can be converted to numeric types.
This interface provides a standardized way for objects to be converted to different numeric representations. Classes implementing this interface can be treated as numbers in various contexts, allowing for flexible type conversion and numeric operations.
Methods
toFloat()
public function toFloat(): float
Converts the object to a float.
This method should convert the object to a floating-point number. Use this method when you need decimal precision or want to ensure the result can contain fractional parts.
Example:
1$number = new SomeNumberableObject();
2$value = $number->toFloat(); // Returns: 42.0 or 42.5Returns float — The float representation of the object
toInt()
public function toInt(): int
Converts the object to an integer.
This method should convert the object to an integer by truncating any decimal portion if necessary. Use this method when you need the whole number representation of the object.
Example:
1$number = new SomeNumberableObject();
2$value = $number->toInt(); // Returns: 42 (even if original was 42.9)Returns int — The integer representation of the object
toString()
public function toString(): string
Converts the object to a string.
This method should convert the object to its string representation. Use this method when you need to display the number as text or concatenate it with other strings.
Example:
1$number = new SomeNumberableObject();
2$value = $number->toString(); // Returns: "42" or "42.5"Returns string — The string representation of the object
