@ExperimentalKotoolsTypesApi
@ExperimentalSince(version = KotoolsTypesVersion.V4_5_0)
fun create(number: Number): StrictlyNegativeInt

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

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

val number: StrictlyNegativeInt = StrictlyNegativeInt.create(-7)
println(number) // -7

The StrictlyNegativeInt type being an inline value class, this function is not available yet for Java users.

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