Numbers

Numeric types

The most important numeric type that are used by default are

data Integer (Builtin)

32-bit signed integer

data Double (Builtin)

64-bit floating point number

SCL standard library defines also other integer and floating point number types:

data Short (Builtin)

16-bit signed integer

data Long (Builtin)

64-bit signed integer

data Float (Builtin)

32-bit floating point number

data BigInteger (BigInteger)

Arbitrary-precision integer

Basic operations on numbers

(+) :: Additive a => a -> a -> a (Prelude)

Adds two objects (numbers, vectors, strings, etc.) together.

(-) :: Ring a => a -> a -> a (Prelude)

Subtraction

neg :: Ring a => a -> a (Prelude)

Negation. Synonym for unary -.

(*) :: Ring a => a -> a -> a (Prelude)

Multiplication

(/) :: Real a => a -> a -> a (Prelude)

Division

(^) :: Real a => a -> a -> a (Prelude)

Exponentation

sqrt :: Real a => a -> a (Prelude)

Square root

exp :: Real a => a -> a (Prelude)

Exponent function

log :: Real a => a -> a (Prelude)

Natural logarithm

pi :: Real a => a (Prelude)

Pi (3.141592654...)

sin :: Real a => a -> a (Prelude)

Sine

cos :: Real a => a -> a (Prelude)

Cosine

tan :: Real a => a -> a (Prelude)

Tangent

asin :: Real a => a -> a (Prelude)

Inverse sine

acos :: Real a => a -> a (Prelude)

Inverse cosine

atan :: Real a => a -> a (Prelude)

Inverse tangent.

atan2 :: Real a => a -> a -> a (Prelude)

Two parameter version of atan. Its value is determined by the following equations when (x,y) is a unit vector:

x = cos (atan2 y x)
y = sin (atan2 y x)

When x > 0,

atan2 y x = atan (y/x)
min :: Ord a => a -> a -> a (Prelude)

Minimum of the parameters

max :: Ord a => a -> a -> a (Prelude)

Maximum of the parameters

abs :: OrderedRing a => a -> a (Prelude)

Absolute value.

floor :: Real a => a -> a (Prelude)

The largest integer not greater than the given number

ceil :: Real a => a -> a (Prelude)

The smallest integer not smaller than the given number

div :: Integral a => a -> a -> a (Prelude)

Integer division truncated toward zero.

mod :: Integral a => a -> a -> a (Prelude)

Integer remainder, satisfying (x `div` y)*y + (x `mod` y) = x

Comparison

Didn't find the value '=='.
(!=) :: a -> a -> Boolean (Prelude)
(<) :: Ord a => a -> a -> Boolean (Prelude)

Less

(<=) :: Ord a => a -> a -> Boolean (Prelude)

Less or equal

(>) :: Ord a => a -> a -> Boolean (Prelude)

Greater

(>=) :: Ord a => a -> a -> Boolean (Prelude)

Greater or equal

Conversion between numerical types

fromInteger :: Ring a => Integer -> a (Prelude)

Converts an integer to a desired numeric type.

toInteger :: OrderedRing a => a -> Integer (Prelude)

Converts the given number to Integer

fromDouble :: Real a => Double -> a (Prelude)

Converts a Double value to a desired numeric type.

toDouble :: Real a => a -> Double (Prelude)

Converts the given number to Double

Numerical operations on lists

sum :: Additive a => [a] -> a (Prelude)

Sum of the elements:

sum [e1,e2,...,eN] = e1 + e2 + ... + eN

Implemented usually more efficiently than with repetitive application of (+).

maximum :: Ord a => [a] -> a (Prelude)

Maximum over a list

minimum :: Ord a => [a] -> a (Prelude)

Minimum over a list
