wake.ir.expressions.literal module

Literal class

Bases: ExpressionAbc

May represent a literal of the following types (see LiteralKind):

• boolean, e.g. true, false,
• integer, e.g. -1, .2, 3e10, 123_456, 0x123, 1_002e34,
• string, e.g. "Hello World!",
• hex string, e.g. hex"1234aabb",
• unicode string, e.g. unicode"Hello World! 😃",

hex_value: bytes property

Important

Does not return the hexadecimal representation, but rather the value encoded into bytes. For example, hex"1234aabb" would return b'4ª»' and .2 would return b'.2'.

Returns:

Type	Description
bytes	Hex string literal value.

kind: LiteralKind property

Returns:

Type	Description
LiteralKind	Literal kind.

subdenomination: Optional[str] property

Example

For example wei, ether, seconds, days, etc.

Returns:

Type	Description
Optional[str]	Literal subdenomination, if any.

value: Optional[str] property

Is None for hex string literals.

Returns:

Type	Description
Optional[str]	Literal value.
