=head1 NAME

Number::Format - Perl extension for formatting numbers

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Number::Format;
  my $x = new Number::Format %args;
  $formatted = $x->round($number, $precision);
  $formatted = $x->format_number($number, $precision, $trailing_zeroes);
  $formatted = $x->format_negative($number, $picture);
  $formatted = $x->format_picture($number, $picture);
  $formatted = $x->format_price($number, $precision, $symbol);
  $formatted = $x->format_bytes($number, $precision);
  $number    = $x->unformat_number($formatted);

  use Number::Format qw(:subs);
  $formatted = round($number, $precision);
  $formatted = format_number($number, $precision, $trailing_zeroes);
  $formatted = format_negative($number, $picture);
  $formatted = format_picture($number, $picture);
  $formatted = format_price($number, $precision, $symbol);
  $formatted = format_bytes($number, $precision);
  $number    = unformat_number($formatted);

=head1 REQUIRES

Perl, version 5.8 or higher.

POSIX.pm to determine locale settings.

Carp.pm is used for some error reporting.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

These functions provide an easy means of formatting numbers in a
manner suitable for displaying to the user.

There are two ways to use this package.  One is to declare an object
of type Number::Format, which you can think of as a formatting engine.
The various functions defined here are provided as object methods.
The constructor C<new()> can be used to set the parameters of the
formatting engine.  Valid parameters are:

  THOUSANDS_SEP     - character inserted between groups of 3 digits
  DECIMAL_POINT     - character separating integer and fractional parts
  MON_THOUSANDS_SEP - like THOUSANDS_SEP, but used for format_price
  MON_DECIMAL_POINT - like DECIMAL_POINT, but used for format_price
  INT_CURR_SYMBOL   - character(s) denoting currency (see format_price())
  DECIMAL_DIGITS    - number of digits to the right of dec point (def 2)
  DECIMAL_FILL      - boolean; whether to add zeroes to fill out decimal
  NEG_FORMAT        - format to display negative numbers (def ``-x'')
  KILO_SUFFIX       - suffix to add when format_bytes formats kilobytes (trad)
  MEGA_SUFFIX       -    "    "  "    "        "         "    megabytes (trad)
  GIGA_SUFFIX       -    "    "  "    "        "         "    gigabytes (trad)
  KIBI_SUFFIX       - suffix to add when format_bytes formats kibibytes (iec)
  MEBI_SUFFIX       -    "    "  "    "        "         "    mebibytes (iec)
  GIBI_SUFFIX       -    "    "  "    "        "         "    gibibytes (iec)

They may be specified in upper or lower case, with or without a
leading hyphen ( - ).

If C<THOUSANDS_SEP> is set to the empty string, format_number will not
insert any separators.

The defaults for C<THOUSANDS_SEP>, C<DECIMAL_POINT>,
C<MON_THOUSANDS_SEP>, C<MON_DECIMAL_POINT>, and C<INT_CURR_SYMBOL>
come from the POSIX locale information (see L<perllocale>).  If your
POSIX locale does not provide C<MON_THOUSANDS_SEP> and/or
C<MON_DECIMAL_POINT> fields, then the C<THOUSANDS_SEP> and/or
C<DECIMAL_POINT> values are used for those parameters.  Formerly,
POSIX was optional but this caused problems in some cases, so it is
now required.  If this causes you hardship, please contact the author
of this package at <SwPrAwM@cpan.org> (remove "SPAM" to get correct
email address) for help.

If any of the above parameters are not specified when you invoke
C<new()>, then the values are taken from package global variables of
the same name (e.g.  C<$DECIMAL_POINT> is the default for the
C<DECIMAL_POINT> parameter).  If you use the C<:vars> keyword on your
C<use Number::Format> line (see non-object-oriented example below) you
will import those variables into your namesapce and can assign values
as if they were your own local variables.  The default values for all
the parameters are:

  THOUSANDS_SEP     = ','
  DECIMAL_POINT     = '.'
  MON_THOUSANDS_SEP = ','
  MON_DECIMAL_POINT = '.'
  INT_CURR_SYMBOL   = 'USD'
  DECIMAL_DIGITS    = 2
  DECIMAL_FILL      = 0
  NEG_FORMAT        = '-x'
  KILO_SUFFIX       = 'K'
  MEGA_SUFFIX       = 'M'
  GIGA_SUFFIX       = 'G'
  KIBI_SUFFIX       = 'KiB'
  MEBI_SUFFIX       = 'MiB'
  GIBI_SUFFIX       = 'GiB'

Note however that when you first call one of the functions in this
module I<without> using the object-oriented interface, further setting
of those global variables will have no effect on non-OO calls.  It is
recommended that you use the object-oriented interface instead for
fewer headaches and a cleaner design.

The C<DECIMAL_FILL> and C<DECIMAL_DIGITS> values are not set by the
Locale system, but are definable by the user.  They affect the output
of C<format_number()>.  Setting C<DECIMAL_DIGITS> is like giving that
value as the C<$precision> argument to that function.  Setting
C<DECIMAL_FILL> to a true value causes C<format_number()> to append
zeroes to the right of the decimal digits until the length is the
specified number of digits.

C<NEG_FORMAT> is only used by C<format_negative()> and is a string
containing the letter 'x', where that letter will be replaced by a
positive representation of the number being passed to that function.
C<format_number()> and C<format_price()> utilize this feature by
calling C<format_negative()> if the number was less than 0.

C<KILO_SUFFIX>, C<MEGA_SUFFIX>, and C<GIGA_SUFFIX> are used by
C<format_bytes()> when the value is over 1024, 1024*1024, or
1024*1024*1024, respectively.  The default values are "K", "M", and
"G".  These apply in the default "traditional" mode only.  Note: TERA
or higher are not implemented because of integer overflows on 32-bit
systems.

C<KIBI_SUFFIX>, C<MEBI_SUFFIX>, and C<GIBI_SUFFIX> are used by
C<format_bytes()> when the value is over 1024, 1024*1024, or
1024*1024*1024, respectively.  The default values are "KiB", "MiB",
and "GiB".  These apply in the "iso60027"" mode only.  Note: TEBI or
higher are not implemented because of integer overflows on 32-bit
systems.

The only restrictions on C<DECIMAL_POINT> and C<THOUSANDS_SEP> are that
they must not be digits and must not be identical.  There are no
restrictions on C<INT_CURR_SYMBOL>.

For example, a German user might include this in their code:

  use Number::Format;
  my $de = new Number::Format(-thousands_sep   => '.',
                              -decimal_point   => ',',
                              -int_curr_symbol => 'DEM');
  my $formatted = $de->format_number($number);

Or, if you prefer not to use the object oriented interface, you can do
this instead:

  use Number::Format qw(:subs :vars);
  $THOUSANDS_SEP   = '.';
  $DECIMAL_POINT   = ',';
  $INT_CURR_SYMBOL = 'DEM';
  my $formatted = format_number($number);

=head1 EXPORTS

Nothing is exported by default.  To export the functions or the global
variables defined herein, specify the function name(s) on the import
list of the C<use Number::Format> statement.  To export all functions
defined herein, use the special tag C<:subs>.  To export the
variables, use the special tag C<:vars>; to export both subs and vars
you can use the tag C<:all>.

=item round($number, $precision)

Rounds the number to the specified precision.  If C<$precision> is
omitted, the value of the C<DECIMAL_DIGITS> parameter is used (default
value 2).  Both input and output are numeric (the function uses math
operators rather than string manipulation to do its job), The value of
C<$precision> may be any integer, positive or negative. Examples:

  round(3.14159)       yields    3.14
  round(3.14159, 4)    yields    3.1416
  round(42.00, 4)      yields    42
  round(1234, -2)      yields    1200

Since this is a mathematical rather than string oriented function,
there will be no trailing zeroes to the right of the decimal point,
and the C<DECIMAL_POINT> and C<THOUSANDS_SEP> variables are ignored.
To format your number using the C<DECIMAL_POINT> and C<THOUSANDS_SEP>
variables, use C<format_number()> instead.

=item format_number($number, $precision, $trailing_zeroes)

Formats a number by adding C<THOUSANDS_SEP> between each set of 3
digits to the left of the decimal point, substituting C<DECIMAL_POINT>
for the decimal point, and rounding to the specified precision using
C<round()>.  Note that C<$precision> is a I<maximum> precision
specifier; trailing zeroes will only appear in the output if
C<$trailing_zeroes> is provided, or the parameter C<DECIMAL_FILL> is
set, with a value that is true (not zero, undef, or the empty string).
If C<$precision> is omitted, the value of the C<DECIMAL_DIGITS>
parameter (default value of 2) is used.

If the value is too large or great to work with as a regular number,
but instead must be shown in scientific notation, returns that number
in scientific notation without further formatting.

Examples:

  format_number(12345.6789)             yields   '12,345.68'
  format_number(123456.789, 2)          yields   '123,456.79'
  format_number(1234567.89, 2)          yields   '1,234,567.89'
  format_number(1234567.8, 2)           yields   '1,234,567.8'
  format_number(1234567.8, 2, 1)        yields   '1,234,567.80'
  format_number(1.23456789, 6)          yields   '1.234568'
  format_number("0.000020000E+00", 7);' yields   '2e-05'

Of course the output would have your values of C<THOUSANDS_SEP> and
C<DECIMAL_POINT> instead of ',' and '.' respectively.

=item format_negative($number, $picture)

Formats a negative number.  Picture should be a string that contains
the letter C<x> where the number should be inserted.  For example, for
standard negative numbers you might use ``C<-x>'', while for
accounting purposes you might use ``C<(x)>''.  If the specified number
begins with a ``-'' character, that will be removed before formatting,
but formatting will occur whether or not the number is negative.

##----------------------------------------------------------------------

=item format_picture($number, $picture)

Returns a string based on C<$picture> with the C<#> characters
replaced by digits from C<$number>.  If the length of the integer part
of $number is too large to fit, the C<#> characters are replaced with
asterisks (C<*>) instead.  Examples:

  format_picture(100.023, 'USD ##,###.##')   yields   'USD    100.02'
  format_picture(1000.23, 'USD ##,###.##')   yields   'USD  1,000.23'
  format_picture(10002.3, 'USD ##,###.##')   yields   'USD 10,002.30'
  format_picture(100023,  'USD ##,###.##')   yields   'USD **,***.**'
  format_picture(1.00023, 'USD #.###,###')   yields   'USD 1.002,300'

The comma (,) and period (.) you see in the picture examples should
match the values of C<THOUSANDS_SEP> and C<DECIMAL_POINT>,
respectively, for proper operation.  However, the C<THOUSANDS_SEP>
characters in C<$picture> need not occur every three digits; the
I<only> use of that variable by this function is to remove leading
commas (see the first example above).  There may not be more than one
instance of C<DECIMAL_POINT> in C<$picture>.

The value of C<NEG_FORMAT> is used to determine how negative numbers
are displayed.  The result of this is that the output of this function
my have unexpected spaces before and/or after the number.  This is
necessary so that positive and negative numbers are formatted into a
space the same size.  If you are only using positive numbers and want
to avoid this problem, set NEG_FORMAT to "x".

=item format_price($number, $precision, $symbol)

Returns a string containing C<$number> formatted similarly to
C<format_number()>, except that the decimal portion may have trailing
zeroes added to make it be exactly C<$precision> characters long, and
the currency string will be prefixed.

The C<$symbol> attribute may be one of "INT_CURR_SYMBOL" or
"CURRENCY_SYMBOL" (case insensitive) to use the value of that
attribute of the object, or a string containing the symbol to be used.
The default is "INT_CURR_SYMBOL" if this argument is undefined or not
given; if set to the empty string, or if set to undef and the
C<INT_CURR_SYMBOL> attribute of the object is the empty string, no
currency will be added.

If C<$precision> is not provided, the default of 2 will be used.
Examples:

  format_price(12.95)   yields   'USD 12.95'
  format_price(12)      yields   'USD 12.00'
  format_price(12, 3)   yields   '12.000'

The third example assumes that C<INT_CURR_SYMBOL> is the empty string.

=item format_bytes($number, %options)

=item format_bytes($number, $precision)  # deprecated

Returns a string containing C<$number> formatted similarly to
C<format_number()>, except that large numbers may be abbreviated by
adding a suffix to indicate 1024, 1,048,576, or 1,073,741,824 bytes.
Suffix may be the traditional K, M, or G (default); or the IEC
standard 60027 "KiB," "MiB," or "GiB" depending on the "mode" option.

Negative values will result in an error.

The second parameter can be either a hash that sets options, or a
number.  Using a number here is deprecated and will generate a
warning; early versions of Number::Format only allowed a numeric
value.  A future release of Number::Format will change this warning to
an error.  New code should use a hash instead to set options.  If it
is a number this sets the value of the "precision" option.

Valid options are:

=over 4

=item precision

Set the precision for displaying numbers.  If not provided, a default
of 2 will be used.  Examples:

  format_bytes(12.95)                   yields   '12.95'
  format_bytes(12.95, precision => 0)   yields   '13'
  format_bytes(2048)                    yields   '2K'
  format_bytes(2048, mode => "iec")     yields   '2KiB'
  format_bytes(9999999)                 yields   '9.54M'
  format_bytes(9999999, precision => 1) yields   '9.5M'

=item unit

Sets the default units used for the results.  The default is to
determine this automatically in order to minimize the length of the
string.  In other words, numbers greater than or equal to 1024 (or
other number given by the 'base' option, q.v.) will be divided by 1024
and C<$KILO_SUFFIX> or C<$KIBI_SUFFIX> added; if greater than or equal
to 1048576 (1024*1024), it will be divided by 1048576 and
C<$MEGA_SUFFIX> or C<$MEBI_SUFFIX> appended to the end; etc.

However if a value is given for C<unit> it will use that value
instead.  The first letter (case-insensitive) of the value given
indicates the threshhold for conversion; acceptable values are G (for
giga/gibi), M (for mega/mebi), K (for kilo/kibi), or A (for automatic,
the default).  For example:

  format_bytes(1048576, unit => 'K') yields     '1,024K'
                                     instead of '1M'

Note that the valid values to this option do not vary even when the
suffix configuration variables have been changed.

=item base

Sets the number at which the C<$KILO_SUFFIX> is added.  Default is
1024.  Set to any value; the only other useful value is probably 1000,
as hard disk manufacturers use that number to make their disks sound
bigger than they really are.

If the mode (see below) is set to "iec" or "iec60027" then setting the
base option results in an error.

=item mode

Traditionally, bytes have been given in SI (metric) units such as
"kilo" and "mega" even though they represent powers of 2 (1024, etc.)
rather than powers of 10 (1000, etc.)  This "binary prefix" causes
much confusion in consumer products where "GB" may mean either
1,048,576 or 1,000,000, for example.  The International
Electrotechnical Commission has created standard IEC 60027 to
introduce prefixes Ki, Mi, Gi, etc. ("kibibytes," "mebibytes,"
"gibibytes," etc.) to remove this confusion.  Specify a mode option
with either "traditional" or "iec60027" (or abbreviate as "trad" or
"iec") to indicate which type of binary prefix you want format_bytes
to use.  For backward compatibility, "traditional" is the default.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix for more information.

=item unformat_number($formatted)

Converts a string as returned by C<format_number()>,
C<format_price()>, or C<format_picture()>, and returns the
corresponding value as a numeric scalar.  Returns C<undef> if the
number does not contain any digits.  Examples:

  unformat_number('USD 12.95')   yields   12.95
  unformat_number('USD 12.00')   yields   12
  unformat_number('foobar')      yields   undef
  unformat_number('1234-567@.8') yields   1234567.8

The value of C<DECIMAL_POINT> is used to determine where to separate
the integer and decimal portions of the input.  All other non-digit
characters, including but not limited to C<INT_CURR_SYMBOL> and
C<THOUSANDS_SEP>, are removed.

If the number matches the pattern of C<NEG_FORMAT> I<or> there is a
``-'' character before any of the digits, then a negative number is
returned.

If the number ends with the C<KILO_SUFFIX>, C<KIBI_SUFFIX>,
C<MEGA_SUFFIX>, C<MEBI_SUFFIX>, C<GIGA_SUFFIX>, or C<GIBI_SUFFIX>
characters, then the number returned will be multiplied by the
appropriate multiple of 1024 (or if the base option is given, by the
multiple of that value) as appropriate.  Examples:

  unformat_number("4K", base => 1024)   yields  4096
  unformat_number("4K", base => 1000)   yields  4000
  unformat_number("4KiB", base => 1024) yields  4096
  unformat_number("4G")                 yields  4294967296
