Maths Services Overview

Provides advanced mathematical operations on real numbers.

Architectural relationships

Types for integer and single-precision and double-precision floating-point numbers are defined by the Basic Types API.

Description

The API has two key concepts: maths utilities, and extended precision real number.

Maths utilities

The maths utilities are a collection of static class functions that perform trigonometric, power/root/log, conversion and rounding, and test functions on real numbers.

Extended precision real number

The extended precision real number type provides 64-bit precision, and efficient arithmetic and comparison operators.

The extended precision real number type is provided by TRealX.
