toString method

@override String toString()

A string representation of this object.

Some classes have a default textual representation, often paired with a static parse function (like int.parse). These classes will provide the textual representation as their string representation.

Other classes have no meaningful textual representation that a program will care about. Such classes will typically override toString to provide useful information when inspecting the object, mainly for debugging or logging.

Implementation

@override
String toString() {
  if (alter == 0) return degree.toString();
  if (alter == -1) return 'b$degree';
  if (alter == 1) return '#$degree';
  if (alter == -2) return 'bb$degree';
  if (alter == 2) return '##$degree';
  return '$degree${alter > 0 ? '+$alter' : alter}';
}
