atom_number(?Atom,
?Number)Realises the popular combination of atom_codes/2
and number_codes/2
to convert between atom and number (integer or float) in one predicate,
avoiding the intermediate list. Unlike the ISO number_codes/2
predicates, atom_number/2
fails silently in mode (+,-) if Atom does not represent a
number.106Versions prior to 6.1.7
raised a syntax error, compliant to number_codes/2
See also atomic_list_concat/2
for assembling an atom from atoms and numbers.
