BasisPoints
On this page
A count of hundredths of a percent: 25 basis points is 0.25%.
Use it for rate moves and fees in finance, where people talk in basis points. For an ordinary percentage, use Percentage.
Shape
One whole number from -9007199254740991 to 9007199254740991.
Example
BasisPoints(25)BasisPoints(number) checks the number, and one outside its limits breaks min or max.
text.parse(raw, as: BasisPoints) reads one from text that comes from outside. Text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as 25bp, 25 bp or 0.25%.
Good to know
- It is a whole number and can be below zero. In JSON it is a plain number.
==tells you whether two are the same, and<andlist.sort_bycompare and sort them.
In JSON
A number, in a request, a response or json.write:
-25025

Text form
text.from writes one standard text form, the same form text.parse reads back: -25, 0 and 25.
How it is stored
It is stored in one column named for the field, of type bigint. 25 is stored as 25.
How it is shown to people
