# class Prism::NumberedReferenceReadNode

Represents reading a numbered reference to a capture in the previous match.

    $1
    ^^

### Attributes

number [R]

The (1-indexed, from the left) number of the capture group. Numbered references that are too large result in this value being `0`.

    $1          # number `1`

    $5432       # number `5432`

    $4294967296 # number `0`

### Public Class Methods

new (source, node_id, location, flags, number)
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 13889
    def initialize(source, node_id, location, flags, number)
      @source = source
      @node_id = node_id
      @location = location
      @flags = flags
      @number = number
    end

Initialize a new `NumberedReferenceReadNode` node.

type ()
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 13950
    def self.type
      :numbered_reference_read_node
    end

Return a symbol representation of this node type. See `Node::type`.

### Public Instance Methods

=== (other)
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 13956
    def ===(other)
      other.is_a?(NumberedReferenceReadNode) &&
        (number === other.number)
    end

Implements case-equality for the node. This is effectively == but without comparing the value of locations. Locations are checked only for presence.
