class Prism::ImaginaryNode

def initialize: (FloatNode | IntegerNode | RationalNode numeric, Location location) -> void

# File prism/node.rb, line 8681
def initialize(source, numeric, location)
  @source = source
  @location = location
  @numeric = numeric
end

Similar to type, this method returns a symbol that you can use for splitting on the type of the node without having to do a long === chain. Note that like type, it will still be slower than using == for a single class, but should be faster in a case statement or an array comparison.

def self.type: () -> Symbol

# File prism/node.rb, line 8752
def self.type
  :imaginary_node
end

Implements case-equality for the node. This is effectively == but without comparing the value of locations. Locations are checked only for presence.

# File prism/node.rb, line 8758
def ===(other)
  other.is_a?(ImaginaryNode) &&
    (numeric === other.numeric)
end

def accept: (Visitor visitor) -> void

# File prism/node.rb, line 8688

  visitor.visit_imaginary_node(self)

def child_nodes: () -> Array[nil | Node]

# File prism/node.rb, line 8693
def child_nodes
  [numeric]

def comment_targets: () -> Array[Node | Location]

# File prism/node.rb, line 8703
def comment_targets
  [numeric] #: Array[Prism::node | Location]
end

def compact_child_nodes: () -> Array

# File prism/node.rb, line 8698
def compact_child_nodes
  [numeric]
end

def copy: (?numeric: FloatNode | IntegerNode | RationalNode, ?location: Location) -> ImaginaryNode

# File prism/node.rb, line 8708
def copy(numeric: self.numeric, location: self.location)
  ImaginaryNode.new(source, numeric, location)
end

def deconstruct_keys: (Array keys) -> { numeric: FloatNode | IntegerNode | RationalNode, location: Location }

# File prism/node.rb, line 8716
def deconstruct_keys(keys)
  { numeric: numeric, location: location }
end

def inspect -> String

# File prism/node.rb, line 8724

Sometimes you want to check an instance of a node against a list of classes to see what kind of behavior to perform. Usually this is done by calling ‘[cls1, cls2].include?(node.class)` or putting the node into a case statement and doing `case node; when cls1; when cls2; end`. Both of these approaches are relatively slow because of the constant lookups, method calls, and/or array allocations.

Instead, you can call type, which will return to you a symbol that you can use for comparison. This is faster than the other approaches because it uses a single integer comparison, but also because if you’re on CRuby you can take advantage of the fact that case statements with all symbol keys will use a jump table.

def type: () -> Symbol

# File prism/node.rb, line 8742
def type
  :imaginary_node
end

Returns the value of the node as a Ruby Complex.

# File prism/node_ext.rb, line 98
def value
  Complex(0, numeric.value)
