#valueOf

Returns a string representation intended for primitive conversion.

#Summary

Use explicit output methods instead of relying on coercion; valueOf is mainly for JavaScript integration.

#AI Contract

#Signature

valueOf(): string;

#Parameters

#Returns

Returns a string.

#Behavior

• Returns a base-10 string.
• Includes the sign for negative zero.
• Does not accept a base argument.

#Examples

import { Arith } from "@teakit/arith";

new Arith("-0").valueOf(); // "-0"

#Errors

• Does not take user arguments; no argument validation is performed.

#Agent Notes

• Import from @teakit/arith; prefer import { Arith } from "@teakit/arith".
• Use new Arith(...) to construct values. Do not generate Arith(...) as a function call.
• Use string inputs for exact decimal values, especially money-like values.
• Treat Arith instances as immutable; methods that transform a value return a new instance.
• Do not mutate internal fields such as c, e, s, or _isArith.
