Math::Utils::XS - Some math utility functions implemented in XS
Version 0.000002
use Math::Utils::XS q(utility); my $l10 = log10(100); # returns 2 my $l2 = log2(32); # returns 5 my $sum = fsum(1, 1e50, 1, -1e50); # returns 2 my $sign = sign(-22); # returns -1 my $sign = sign(3 - 3); # returns 0 my $sign = sign(+22); # returns +1 my $f = floor(22/7); # returns 3 my $f = floor(2.7182); # returns 2 my $c = floor(-22/7); # returns -4 my $c = floor(-2.7182); # returns -3
Compute a number's logarithm in base 10.
Compute a number's logarithm in base 2.
Return -1, 0 or +1 depending on whether a number is negative, zero or positive.
Compute the largest integer that is less than or equal than a number.
Compute the smallest integer that is greater than or equal than a number.
Compute the sum of all arguments. It will process each separate argument, and recurse into any arrays (but not hashes) all the way inside.
The sum is computed in a way that you can safely add floating point numbers, even if their magnitudes are very different. This is done using Neumaier's modification of Kahan's summation algorith, described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm.
