Math¶
Usage
use Math;
This module provides mathematical constants and functions.
Note
All Chapel programs automatically use
this module by default.
An explicit use
statement is not necessary.
It includes wrappers for many of the constants in functions in the C Math library, which is part of the C Language Standard (ISO/IEC 9899) as described in Section 7.12. Please consult that standard for an authoritative description of the expected properties of those constants and routines.
In general, where the C math library provides a double and a float version of a function, the float version has a suffix 'f'. In the Chapel interface, the suffix is dropped, and the type of the operand determines which version is called -- according to the usual function overloading and resolution rules. Normally, the result has the same precision as the argument(s). Please consult the C standard for specifics.
Rounding -- The rounding mode for floating-point addition (subtraction) is implementation-defined.
Error Handling -- At present, Chapel does not provide control over error
handling in the Math module. The default behavior is as if the macro
math_errhandling
is set to 0: Given erroneous input at run-time,
all math functions will return an implementation-defined value; no
exception will be generated.
