<H1><A NAME="SEC16" HREF="cln_toc.html#TOC16">4. Functions on numbers</A></H1>
<P>Each of the number classes declares its mathematical operations in thecorresponding include file. For example, if your code operates withobjects of type <CODE>cl_I</CODE>, it should <CODE>#include <cl_integer.h></CODE>.
<H2><A NAME="SEC17" HREF="cln_toc.html#TOC17">4.1 Constructing numbers</A></H2>
<P>Here is how to create number objects "from nothing".
<H3><A NAME="SEC18" HREF="cln_toc.html#TOC18">4.1.1 Constructing integers</A></H3>
<P><CODE>cl_I</CODE> objects are most easily constructed from C integers and fromstrings. See section <A HREF="cln_3.html#SEC15">3.4 Conversions</A>.
<H3><A NAME="SEC19" HREF="cln_toc.html#TOC19">4.1.2 Constructing rational numbers</A></H3>
<P><CODE>cl_RA</CODE> objects can be constructed from strings. The syntaxfor rational numbers is described in section <A HREF="cln_5.html#SEC45">5.1 Internal and printed representation</A>.Another standard way to produce a rational number is through applicationof <SAMP>`operator /'</SAMP> or <SAMP>`recip'</SAMP> on integers.
<H3><A NAME="SEC20" HREF="cln_toc.html#TOC20">4.1.3 Constructing floating-point numbers</A></H3>
<P><CODE>cl_F</CODE> objects with low precision are most easily constructed fromC <SAMP>`float'</SAMP> and <SAMP>`double'</SAMP>. See section <A HREF="cln_3.html#SEC15">3.4 Conversions</A>.
<P>To construct a <CODE>cl_F</CODE> with high precision, you can use the conversionfrom <SAMP>`const char *'</SAMP>, but you have to specify the desired precisionwithin the string. (See section <A HREF="cln_5.html#SEC45">5.1 Internal and printed representation</A>.)Example:
<PRE> cl_F e = "0.271828182845904523536028747135266249775724709369996e+1_40";</PRE>
<P>will set <SAMP>`e'</SAMP> to the given value, with a precision of 40 decimal digits.
<P>The programmatic way to construct a <CODE>cl_F</CODE> with high precision isthrough the <CODE>cl_float</CODE> conversion function, seesection <A HREF="cln_4.html#SEC40">4.11.1 Conversion to floating-point numbers</A>. For example, to compute<CODE>e</CODE> to 40 decimal places, first construct 1.0 to 40 decimal placesand then apply the exponential function:
<PRE> cl_float_format_t precision = cl_float_format(40); cl_F e = exp(cl_float(1,precision));</PRE>
<H3><A NAME="SEC21" HREF="cln_toc.html#TOC21">4.1.4 Constructing complex numbers</A></H3>
<P>Non-real <CODE>cl_N</CODE> objects are normally constructed through the function
<PRE> cl_N complex (const cl_R& realpart, const cl_R& imagpart)</PRE>
<P>See section <A HREF="cln_4.html#SEC24">4.4 Elementary complex functions</A>.
<H2><A NAME="SEC22" HREF="cln_toc.html#TOC22">4.2 Elementary functions</A></H2>

<P>The class <CODE>cl_I</CODE> doesn't define a <SAMP>`/'</SAMP> operation becausein the C/C++ language this operator, applied to integral types,denotes the <SAMP>`floor'</SAMP> or <SAMP>`truncate'</SAMP> operation (which one of these,is implementation dependent). (See section <A HREF="cln_4.html#SEC26">4.6 Rounding functions</A>.)Instead, <CODE>cl_I</CODE> defines an "exact quotient" function:

<P>Each of the classes <CODE>cl_R</CODE>, <CODE>cl_RA</CODE>, <CODE>cl_I</CODE>,<CODE>cl_F</CODE>, <CODE>cl_SF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_FF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_DF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_LF</CODE>defines the following operation:

<P>The class <CODE>cl_N</CODE> implements this as follows:
<DL COMPACT>
<DT><CODE>cl_R abs (const cl_N x)</CODE><DD>Returns the absolute value of <CODE>x</CODE>.</DL>
<P>Each of the classes <CODE>cl_N</CODE>, <CODE>cl_R</CODE>, <CODE>cl_RA</CODE>, <CODE>cl_I</CODE>,<CODE>cl_F</CODE>, <CODE>cl_SF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_FF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_DF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_LF</CODE>defines the following operation:

<H2><A NAME="SEC25" HREF="cln_toc.html#TOC25">4.5 Comparisons</A></H2><P><A NAME="IDX55"></A>
<P>Each of the classes <CODE>cl_N</CODE>, <CODE>cl_R</CODE>, <CODE>cl_RA</CODE>, <CODE>cl_I</CODE>,<CODE>cl_F</CODE>, <CODE>cl_SF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_FF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_DF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_LF</CODE>defines the following operations:

<P>Each of the classes <CODE>cl_R</CODE>, <CODE>cl_RA</CODE>, <CODE>cl_I</CODE>,<CODE>cl_F</CODE>, <CODE>cl_SF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_FF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_DF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_LF</CODE>defines the following operations:

<P>When a floating point number and a rational number are compared, the floatis first converted to a rational number using the function <CODE>rational</CODE>.Since a floating point number actually represents an interval of real numbers,the result might be surprising.For example, <CODE>(cl_F)(cl_R)"1/3" == (cl_R)"1/3"</CODE> returns false becausethere is no floating point number whose value is exactly <CODE>1/3</CODE>.
<H2><A NAME="SEC26" HREF="cln_toc.html#TOC26">4.6 Rounding functions</A></H2><P><A NAME="IDX69"></A>
<P>When a real number is to be converted to an integer, there is no "best"rounding. The desired rounding function depends on the application.The Common Lisp and ISO Lisp standards offer four rounding functions:
<DL COMPACT>
<DT><CODE>floor(x)</CODE><DD>This is the largest integer <=<CODE>x</CODE>.
<DT><CODE>ceiling(x)</CODE><DD>This is the smallest integer >=<CODE>x</CODE>.
<DT><CODE>truncate(x)</CODE><DD>Among the integers between 0 and <CODE>x</CODE> (inclusive) the one nearest to <CODE>x</CODE>.
<DT><CODE>round(x)</CODE><DD>The integer nearest to <CODE>x</CODE>. If <CODE>x</CODE> is exactly halfway between twointegers, choose the even one.</DL>
<P>These functions have different advantages:
<P><CODE>floor</CODE> and <CODE>ceiling</CODE> are translation invariant:<CODE>floor(x+n) = floor(x) + n</CODE> and <CODE>ceiling(x+n) = ceiling(x) + n</CODE>for every <CODE>x</CODE> and every integer <CODE>n</CODE>.
<P>On the other hand, <CODE>truncate</CODE> and <CODE>round</CODE> are symmetric:<CODE>truncate(-x) = -truncate(x)</CODE> and <CODE>round(-x) = -round(x)</CODE>,and furthermore <CODE>round</CODE> is unbiased: on the "average", it roundsdown exactly as often as it rounds up.
<P>The functions are related like this:
<UL><LI>
<CODE>ceiling(m/n) = floor((m+n-1)/n) = floor((m-1)/n)+1</CODE>for rational numbers <CODE>m/n</CODE> (<CODE>m</CODE>, <CODE>n</CODE> integers, <CODE>n</CODE>>0), and<LI>
<CODE>truncate(x) = sign(x) * floor(abs(x))</CODE></UL>
<P>Each of the classes <CODE>cl_R</CODE>, <CODE>cl_RA</CODE>,<CODE>cl_F</CODE>, <CODE>cl_SF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_FF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_DF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_LF</CODE>defines the following operations:
<DL COMPACT>
<DT><CODE>cl_I floor1 (const <VAR>type</VAR>& x)</CODE><DD><A NAME="IDX70"></A>Returns <CODE>floor(x)</CODE>.<DT><CODE>cl_I ceiling1 (const <VAR>type</VAR>& x)</CODE><DD><A NAME="IDX71"></A>Returns <CODE>ceiling(x)</CODE>.<DT><CODE>cl_I truncate1 (const <VAR>type</VAR>& x)</CODE><DD><A NAME="IDX72"></A>Returns <CODE>truncate(x)</CODE>.<DT><CODE>cl_I round1 (const <VAR>type</VAR>& x)</CODE><DD><A NAME="IDX73"></A>Returns <CODE>round(x)</CODE>.</DL>
<P>Each of the classes <CODE>cl_R</CODE>, <CODE>cl_RA</CODE>, <CODE>cl_I</CODE>,<CODE>cl_F</CODE>, <CODE>cl_SF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_FF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_DF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_LF</CODE>defines the following operations:
<DL COMPACT>
<DT><CODE>cl_I floor1 (const <VAR>type</VAR>& x, const <VAR>type</VAR>& y)</CODE><DD>Returns <CODE>floor(x/y)</CODE>.<DT><CODE>cl_I ceiling1 (const <VAR>type</VAR>& x, const <VAR>type</VAR>& y)</CODE><DD>Returns <CODE>ceiling(x/y)</CODE>.<DT><CODE>cl_I truncate1 (const <VAR>type</VAR>& x, const <VAR>type</VAR>& y)</CODE><DD>Returns <CODE>truncate(x/y)</CODE>.<DT><CODE>cl_I round1 (const <VAR>type</VAR>& x, const <VAR>type</VAR>& y)</CODE><DD>Returns <CODE>round(x/y)</CODE>.</DL>
<P>These functions are called <SAMP>`floor1'</SAMP>, ... here instead of<SAMP>`floor'</SAMP>, ..., because on some systems, system dependent includefiles define <SAMP>`floor'</SAMP> and <SAMP>`ceiling'</SAMP> as macros.
<P>In many cases, one needs both the quotient and the remainder of a division.It is more efficient to compute both at the same time than to performtwo divisions, one for quotient and the next one for the remainder.The following functions therefore return a structure containing boththe quotient and the remainder. The suffix <SAMP>`2'</SAMP> indicates the numberof "return values". The remainder is defined as follows:
<UL><LI>
for the computation of <CODE>quotient = floor(x)</CODE>,<CODE>remainder = x - quotient</CODE>,<LI>
for the computation of <CODE>quotient = floor(x,y)</CODE>,<CODE>remainder = x - quotient*y</CODE>,</UL>
<P>and similarly for the other three operations.

<P>Sometimes, one wants the quotient as a floating-point number (of thesame format as the argument, if the argument is a float) instead of asan integer. The prefix <SAMP>`f'</SAMP> indicates this.
<P>Each of the classes<CODE>cl_F</CODE>, <CODE>cl_SF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_FF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_DF</CODE>, <CODE>cl_LF</CODE>defines the following operations:

<P>These functions also exist in versions which return both the quotientand the remainder. The suffix <SAMP>`2'</SAMP> indicates this.

<P>Other applications need only the remainder of a division.The remainder of <SAMP>`floor'</SAMP> and <SAMP>`ffloor'</SAMP> is called <SAMP>`mod'</SAMP>(abbreviation of "modulo").
