Get Numeric Information
Retrieves enumeration, unit, and representation information from a variant that contains a numeric data type.
This node returns an error if the variant does not contain a numeric.
variant
Variant data from which you want to retrieve data type information.
error in
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Standard Error Behavior
Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.
| error in does not contain an error | error in contains an error |
|---|---|
| If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally.
If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out. | If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out. |
Default: No error
enum names
Enumerated values, if the numeric data type stored in the variant is an enumeration. Otherwise, this output returns an empty string.
units
Unit type and exponent, if the numeric data type stored in the variant has units.
Unit Type
Unit type of the numeric data type stored in the variant.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Radians | The numeric data type has a unit type of radians. |
| Steradians | The numeric data type has a unit type of steradians. |
| Seconds | The numeric data type has a unit type of seconds. |
| Meters | The numeric data type has a unit type of meters. |
| Kilograms | The numeric data type has a unit type of kilograms. |
| Amperes | The numeric data type has a unit type of amperes. |
| Kelvins | The numeric data type has a unit type of kelvins. |
| Moles | The numeric data type has a unit type of moles. |
| Candelas | The numeric data type has a unit type of candelas. |
| InvalidUnit | The unit type of the numeric data type is invalid. |
Exponent
Exponent of the unit.
representation
Numeric representation of the data type stored in the variant.
error out
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
