create

fun create(number: Number): StrictlyNegativeDouble

Creates a StrictlyNegativeDouble from the specified number, which may involve rounding or truncation, or throws an IllegalArgumentException if the number is greater than or equals zero.

Calling from Kotlin

Here's an example of calling this function from Kotlin code:

val result: Result<StrictlyNegativeDouble> = runCatching {
    StrictlyNegativeDouble.create(-23)
}
println(result.isSuccess) // true

Calling from Java

Here's an example of calling this function from Java code:

// The following code prints 'Success'.
try {
    StrictlyNegativeDouble.Companion.create(-23);
    System.out.println("Success");
} catch (IllegalArgumentException exception) {
    final String reason = exception.getMessage();
    System.out.println("Failure: " + reason);
}

You can use the StrictlyNegativeDouble.Companion.createOrNull for returning null instead of throwing an exception in case of invalid number.
