Public Functions Documentation

function symbol (1/4)

constexpr eosio::symbol::symbol()

Construct a new symbol object defaulting to a value of 0

function symbol (2/4)

explicit constexpr eosio::symbol::symbol(
    uint64_t raw
)

Construct a new symbol given a scoped enumerated type of raw (uint64_t).

Parameters:

• raw - The raw value which is a scoped enumerated type of unit64_t

function symbol (3/4)

constexpr eosio::symbol::symbol(
    symbol_code sc,
    uint8_t precision
)

Construct a new symbol given a symbol_code and a uint8_t precision.

Parameters:

• sc - The symbol_code
• precision - The number of decimal places used for the symbol

function symbol (4/4)

constexpr eosio::symbol::symbol(
    std::string_view ss,
    uint8_t precision
)

Construct a new symbol given a string and a uint8_t precision.

Parameters:

• ss - The string containing the symbol
• precision - The number of decimal places used for the symbol

Friends Documentation

friend operator==

constexpr friend bool operator==(
    const symbol & a,
    const symbol & b
)

Equivalency operator. Returns true if a == b (are the same)

Returns:

boolean - true if both provided symbols are the same

friend operator!=

constexpr friend bool operator!=(
    const symbol & a,
    const symbol & b
)

Inverted equivalency operator. Returns true if a != b (are different)

Returns:

boolean - true if both provided symbols are not the same

friend operator<

constexpr friend bool operator<(
    const symbol & a,
    const symbol & b
)

Less than operator.

Less than operator. Returns true if a < b.

Returns:

boolean - true if symbol a is less than b
