final class PosFloat extends AnyVal

An AnyVal for positive Floats.

Note: a PosFloat may not equal 0.0. If you want positive number or 0, use PosZFloat.

Because PosFloat is an AnyVal it will usually be as efficient as an Float, being boxed only when an Float would have been boxed.

The PosFloat.apply factory method is implemented in terms of a macro that checks literals for validity at compile time. Calling PosFloat.apply with a literal Float value will either produce a valid PosFloat instance at run time or an error at compile time. Here's an example:

scala> import anyvals._
import anyvals._

scala> PosFloat(42.1fF)
res0: org.scalactic.anyvals.PosFloat = PosFloat(42.1f)

scala> PosFloat(0.0fF)
<console>:14: error: PosFloat.apply can only be invoked on a positive (i > 0.0f) floating point literal, like PosFloat(42.1fF).
              PosFloat(42.1fF)
                      ^

PosFloat.apply cannot be used if the value being passed is a variable (i.e., not a literal), because the macro cannot determine the validity of variables at compile time (just literals). If you try to pass a variable to PosFloat.apply, you'll get a compiler error that suggests you use a different factor method, PosFloat.from, instead:

scala> val x = 42.1fF
x: Float = 42.1f

scala> PosFloat(x)
<console>:15: error: PosFloat.apply can only be invoked on a floating point literal, like PosFloat(42.1fF). Please use PosFloat.from instead.
              PosFloat(x)
                      ^

The PosFloat.from factory method will inspect the value at runtime and return an Option[PosFloat]. If the value is valid, PosFloat.from will return a Some[PosFloat], else it will return a None. Here's an example:

scala> PosFloat.from(x)
res3: Option[org.scalactic.anyvals.PosFloat] = Some(PosFloat(42.1f))

scala> val y = 0.0fF
y: Float = 0.0f

scala> PosFloat.from(y)
res4: Option[org.scalactic.anyvals.PosFloat] = None

The PosFloat.apply factory method is marked implicit, so that you can pass literal Floats into methods that require PosFloat, and get the same compile-time checking you get when calling PosFloat.apply explicitly. Here's an example:

scala> def invert(pos: PosFloat): Float = Float.MaxValue - pos
invert: (pos: org.scalactic.anyvals.PosFloat)Float

scala> invert(42.1fF)
res5: Float = 3.4028235E38

scala> invert(Float.MaxValue)
res6: Float = 0.0

scala> invert(0.0fF)
<console>:15: error: PosFloat.apply can only be invoked on a positive (i > 0.0f) floating point literal, like PosFloat(42.1fF).
              invert(0.0F)
                     ^

scala> invert(0.0fF)
<console>:15: error: PosFloat.apply can only be invoked on a positive (i > 0.0f) floating point literal, like PosFloat(42.1fF).
              invert(0.0fF)
                      ^

This example also demonstrates that the PosFloat companion object also defines implicit widening conversions when no loss of precision will occur. This makes it convenient to use a PosFloat where a Float or wider type is needed. An example is the subtraction in the body of the invert method defined above, Float.MaxValue - pos. Although Float.MaxValue is a Float, which has no - method that takes a PosFloat (the type of pos), you can still subtract pos, because the PosFloat will be implicitly widened to Float.

  70. def ensuringValid(f: (Float) => Float): PosFloat

    Applies the passed Float => Float function to the underlying Float value, and if the result is positive, returns the result wrapped in a PosFloat, else throws AssertionError.

    Applies the passed Float => Float function to the underlying Float value, and if the result is positive, returns the result wrapped in a PosFloat, else throws AssertionError.

    This method will inspect the result of applying the given function to this PosFloat's underlying Float value and if the result is positive, it will return a PosFloat representing that value. Otherwise, the Float value returned by the given function is not positive, so this method will throw AssertionError.

    This method differs from a vanilla assert or ensuring call in that you get something you didn't already have if the assertion succeeds: a type that promises an Float is positive. With this method, you are asserting that you are convinced the result of the computation represented by applying the given function to this PosFloat's value will not produce invalid value. Instead of producing such invalid values, this method will throw AssertionError.

    f

    the Float => Float function to apply to this PosFloat's underlying Float value.

    returns

    the result of applying this PosFloat's underlying Float value to to the passed function, wrapped in a PosFloat if it is positive (else throws AssertionError).

    Exceptions thrown

    AssertionError if the result of applying this PosFloat's underlying Float value to to the passed function is not positive.

    Returns the PosFloat sum of this PosFloat's value and the given PosZFloat value.

    This method will always succeed (not throw an exception) because adding a positive Float and non-negative Float and another positive Float will always result in another positive Float value (though the result may be infinity).
