module Prelude.Classy

Mathematical functions

gcd :: Integral a => a -> a -> a

gcd x y is the greatest (positive) integer that divides both x and y; for example gcd (-3) 6 = 3, gcd (-3) (-6) = 3, gcd 0 4 = 4. gcd 0 0 raises a runtime error.

lcm :: Integral a => a -> a -> a

lcm x y is the smallest positive integer that both x and y divide.

class Num a => Fractional a where

Fractional numbers, supporting real division.

Minimal complete definition: fromRational and (recip or (/))

Methods

(/) :: a -> a -> a

fractional division

recip :: a -> a

reciprocal fraction

fromRational :: Rational -> a

Conversion from a Rational (that is Ratio Integer). A floating literal stands for an application of fromRational to a value of type Rational, so such literals have type (Fractional a) => a.

Integral a => Fractional (Ratio a)

class Fractional a => Floating a where

Trigonometric and hyperbolic functions and related functions.

class (Real a, Fractional a) => RealFrac a where

Extracting components of fractions.

Minimal complete definition: properFraction

Methods

properFraction :: Integral b => a -> (b, a)

The function properFraction takes a real fractional number x and returns a pair (n,f) such that x = n+f, and:

• n is an integral number with the same sign as x; and
• f is a fraction with the same type and sign as x, and with absolute value less than 1.

The default definitions of the ceiling, floor, truncate and round functions are in terms of properFraction.

truncate :: Integral b => a -> b

truncate x returns the integer nearest x between zero and x

round :: Integral b => a -> b

round x returns the nearest integer to x; the even integer if x is equidistant between two integers

ceiling :: Integral b => a -> b

ceiling x returns the least integer not less than x

floor :: Integral b => a -> b

floor x returns the greatest integer not greater than x

RealFrac Float

Integral a => RealFrac (Ratio a)

class (RealFrac a, Floating a) => RealFloat a where

Efficient, machine-independent access to the components of a floating-point number.

Minimal complete definition: all except exponent, significand, scaleFloat and atan2

Methods

floatRadix :: a -> Integer

a constant function, returning the radix of the representation (often 2)

floatDigits :: a -> Int

a constant function, returning the number of digits of floatRadix in the significand

floatRange :: a -> (Int, Int)

a constant function, returning the lowest and highest values the exponent may assume

decodeFloat :: a -> (Integer, Int)

The function decodeFloat applied to a real floating-point number returns the significand expressed as an Integer and an appropriately scaled exponent (an Int). If decodeFloat x yields (m,n), then x is equal in value to m*b^^n, where b is the floating-point radix, and furthermore, either m and n are both zero or else b^(d-1) <= m < b^d, where d is the value of floatDigits x. In particular, decodeFloat 0 = (0,0).

encodeFloat :: Integer -> Int -> a

encodeFloat performs the inverse of decodeFloat

exponent :: a -> Int

the second component of decodeFloat.

significand :: a -> a

the first component of decodeFloat, scaled to lie in the open interval (-1,1)

scaleFloat :: Int -> a -> a

multiplies a floating-point number by an integer power of the radix

isNaN :: a -> Bool

True if the argument is an IEEE "not-a-number" (NaN) value

isInfinite :: a -> Bool

True if the argument is an IEEE infinity or negative infinity

isDenormalized :: a -> Bool

True if the argument is too small to be represented in normalized format

isNegativeZero :: a -> Bool

True if the argument is an IEEE negative zero

isIEEE :: a -> Bool

True if the argument is an IEEE floating point number

atan2 :: a -> a -> a

a version of arctangent taking two real floating-point arguments. For real floating x and y, atan2 y x computes the angle (from the positive x-axis) of the vector from the origin to the point (x,y). atan2 y x returns a value in the range [-pi, pi]. It follows the Common Lisp semantics for the origin when signed zeroes are supported. atan2 y 1, with y in a type that is RealFloat, should return the same value as atan y. A default definition of atan2 is provided, but implementors can provide a more accurate implementation.
