simplifyType static method

Number simplifyType(Number n)

Returns the Number equivalent to n having the simplest type that can represent the value (in order): Integer, Double, Imaginary, or Complex. If n is already the most simple type possible, then it will be returned directly. Precise Numbers always remain Precise.

Implementation

static Number simplifyType(Number n) {
  if (n is Integer || n is Precise) return n;
  if (n is Double) return n.isInteger ? Integer(n.toInt()) : n;
  if (n is Imaginary) {
    if (n.value is Precise) return n;
    if (n.value.toDouble() == 0) return Integer(0);
    if (n.value.isInteger && n.value is Double) return Imaginary(Integer(n.value.toInt()));
    return n;
  }
  if (n is Complex) {
    final realZero = n.real.value == 0 && (n.real is! Precise || n.real == Precise.zero);
    final imagZero = n.imag.value.value.toDouble() == 0 && (n.imag.value is! Precise || n.imag.value == Precise.zero);
    if (realZero) {
      if (imagZero) return simplifyType(n.real);
      return Imaginary(simplifyType(n.imag.value));
    } else if (imagZero) {
      return simplifyType(n.real);
    } else {
      final simpleReal = simplifyType(n.real) as Real;
      final simpleImag = simplifyType(n.imag.value);
      if (identical(simpleReal, n.real) && identical(simpleImag, n.imag.value)) return n;
      return Complex(simpleReal, Imaginary(simpleImag));
    }
  }

  return n;
