Methods of the Int type

Data types in Perl 6 are represented by a number of built-in classes, which means that methods can be called on the objects of those classes. Object-oriented features of the language are described in Chapter 8, Object-Oriented Programming, but, for now, it is not possible to avoid some elements of it.

In this section, only the most interesting methods will be listed. The full list of possibilities can be obtained on the documentation page (https://docs.perl6.org/type/Int).

The most fundamental thing that is important now is that methods are called using the dot on either the value itself or on the variable containing the value of the corresponding type. You will see the way to call methods immediately in the next section.
