Member Description

inline Float pow(Float f1, Double f2)
inline Float pow(Double f1, Float f2)
inline Int pow(Int f1, Int f2)

Returns f1**f2. The Double precision version is defined in the standard library. But many compilers are not good enough to automatically do the type promotion. Hence these functions are explicitly defined.

inline Int ifloor(Float point)
inline Int ifloor(Double point)

Return the integer "less than" point (i.e. the one further from zero if "point" is negative.

inline Int max(Int a, Int b)
inline Int min(Int a, Int b)
inline uInt max(uInt a, uInt b)
inline uInt min(uInt a, uInt b)
inline Double max(Double a, Double b)
inline Double min(Double a, Double b)
inline Double max(Double a, Float b)
inline Double min(Double a, Float b)
inline Double max(Float a, Double b)
inline Double min(Float a, Double b)
inline Float max(Float a, Float b)
inline Float min(Float a, Float b)

Functions to get the max or min of two numbers.

inline uInt abs(uInt Val)

Get the absolute value of uInt. Should already be defined for integers in <stdlib.h>. Define it for uInts so that certain compilers can resolve the ambiguity when used in a templated class.

inline Int square(Int val)
inline Float square(Float val)
inline Double square(Double val)

Return the square of a value.

inline Int cube(Int val)
inline Float cube(Float val)
inline Double cube(Double val)

Return the cube of a value.

Bool near(uInt val1, uInt val2, Double tol = 1.0e-5)
Bool near(Int val1, Int val2, Double tol = 1.0e-5)
Bool near(Float val1, Float val2, Double tol = 1.0e-5)
Bool near(Float val1, Double val2, Double tol = 1.0e-5)
Bool near(Double val1, Float val2, Double tol = 1.0e-5)
Bool near(Double val1, Double val2, Double tol = 1.0e-13)

Functions to return whether a value is "relatively" near another. Returns tol > abs(val2 - val1)/max(abs(val1),(val2)). If tol <= 0, returns val1 == val2. If either val is 0.0, take care of area around the minimum number that can be represented.

inline Bool allNear(uInt val1, uInt val2, Double tol = 1.0e-5)
inline Bool allNear(Int val1, Int val2, Double tol = 1.0e-5)
inline Bool allNear(Float val1, Double val2, Double tol = 1.0e-5)
inline Bool allNear(Double val1, Float val2, Double tol = 1.0e-5)
inline Bool allNear(Float val1, Float val2, Double tol = 1.0e-5)
inline Bool allNear(Double val1, Double val2, Double tol = 1.0e-13)

The "allNear" versions are aliases for the normal "near" versions. They exist to make template functions that work for both arrays and scalars easier to write. These functions should be moved to ArrayMath.h

Bool nearAbs(uInt val1, uInt val2, Double tol = 1.0e-5)
Bool nearAbs(Int val1, Int val2, Double tol = 1.0e-5)
Bool nearAbs(Float val1, Float val2, Double tol = 1.0e-5)
Bool nearAbs(Float val1, Double val2, Double tol = 1.0e-5)
Bool nearAbs(Double val1, Float val2, Double tol = 1.0e-5)
Bool nearAbs(Double val1, Double val2, Double tol = 1.0e-13)

Functions to return whether a value is "absolutely" near another. Returns tol > abs(val2 - val1)

inline Bool allNearAbs(uInt val1, uInt val2, uInt tol = 1)
inline Bool allNearAbs(Int val1, Int val2, Int tol = 1)
inline Bool allNearAbs(Float val1, Float val2, Double tol = 1.0e-5)
inline Bool allNearAbs(Float val1, Double val2, Double tol = 1.0e-5)
inline Bool allNearAbs(Double val1, Float val2, Double tol = 1.0e-5)
inline Bool allNearAbs(Double val1, Double val2, Double tol = 1.0e-13)

The "allNearAbs" versions are aliases for the normal "nearAbs" versions. They exist to make template functions that work for both arrays and scalars easier to write. These functions should be in ArrayMath.h

inline Bool isFinite (const Float& val)
inline Bool isFinite (const Double& val)

Functions to test if a floating point number is finite. It is if it is NaN nor infinity.

inline Bool isNaN (const Float& val)
inline Bool isNaN(Double val)

Functions to test for IEEE NaN's. The Float variant uses an in-line Macro examining the bit pattern (for portability and efficiency). The Double version invokes the IEEE function isnan found in ieeefp.h or math.h

Float floatNaN()
Double doubleNaN()
void setNaN(Float& val)
void setNaN(Double& val)

Functions that return IEEE NaN's. The specific NaN returned has all bits set. This is 'quiet' NaN, and because the sign bit is set it may be considered a negative number (but NaN's are not numbers!).

Bool isInf(Float val)
Bool isInf(Double val)

Functions to test for IEEE Infinity's. Should work for positive or negative infinity.

Float floatInf()
Double doubleInf()
void setInf(Float& val)
void setInf(Double& val)

Functions that return an IEEE Infinity, (positive infinity).
