Function Documentation

CeilDivide()

unsigned CeilDivide	(	unsigned	numerator,
		unsigned	denominator
	)

Returns

the result of dividing (unsigned) numerator by denominator, rounded up (away from 0), and overflow-safe for large integers up to UINT_MAX.

Parameters

numerator	the numerator
denominator	the denominator

Definition at line 137 of file MathsCustomFunctions.cpp.

Divides()

bool Divides	(	double	smallerNumber,
		double	largerNumber
	)

Returns

true if the smaller number divides the larger (to machine precision) Uses fmod to determine if smallerNumber divides the largerNumber. We expect smallerNumber/largerNumber <= 1 and therefore fmod(largerNumber,smallerNumber) should be close to zero or close to smallerNumber.

Parameters

smallerNumber	the smaller
largerNumber	the larger

SafeDivide()

double SafeDivide	(	double	numerator,
		double	divisor
	)

Returns

the results of dividing two non-negative floating point numbers, avoiding overflow and underflow.

Parameters

numerator	the number to be divided
divisor	the number to divide by

Signum()

double Signum

(

double

value

)

Returns

the sign of the argument, i.e. -1 if value<0, 0 if value=0, or +1 if value>0.

Parameters

value

the argument value

SmallPow() [1/2]

double SmallPow	(	double	x,
		unsigned	exponent
	)

Replacement "pow" function.

Parameters

x	number to be raised to a small power
exponent	small integer exponent

Returns

x^exponent a.k.a x**exponent.

SmallPow() [2/2]

unsigned SmallPow	(	unsigned	x,
		unsigned	exponent
	)

Replacement "pow" function for unsigned integer values

Parameters

x	number to be raised to a small power
exponent	small integer exponent

Returns

x^exponent a.k.a x**exponent.
