Basic operations on floating-point numbers

  • since 0.6.1
type t = float
type fpclass = fpclass =
  1. | FP_normal
  2. | FP_subnormal
  3. | FP_zero
  4. | FP_infinite
  5. | FP_nan
val nan : t

nan is Not a Number (NaN). Equal to Stdlib.nan.

val max_value : t

max_value is Positive infinity. Equal to Stdlib.infinity.

val min_value : t

min_value is Negative infinity. Equal to Stdlib.neg_infinity.

val max_finite_value : t

max_finite_value is the largest finite float value. Equal to Stdlib.max_float.

val epsilon : t

epsilon is the smallest positive float x such that 1.0 +. x <> 1.0. Equal to Stdlib.epsilon_float.

val pi : t

pi is the constant pi. The ratio of a circumference to its diameter.

  • since 3.0
val is_nan : t -> bool

is_nan f returns true if f is NaN, false otherwise.

val add : t -> t -> t

add x y is equal to x +. y.

val sub : t -> t -> t

sub x y is equal to x -. y.

val neg : t -> t

neg x is equal to ~-. x.

val abs : t -> t

abs x is the absolute value of the floating-point number x. Equal to Stdlib.abs_float.

val scale : t -> t -> t

scale x y is equal to x *. y.

val min : t -> t -> t

min x y returns the min of the two given values x and y.

val max : t -> t -> t

max x y returns the max of the two given values x and y.

val equal : t -> t -> bool

equal x y is true if x and y are the same.

val compare : t -> t -> int

compare x y is Stdlib.comparexy.

type 'a printer = Format.formatter -> 'a -> unit
type 'a random_gen = Random.State.t -> 'a
val pp : t printer
val hash : t -> int
val random : t -> t random_gen
val random_small : t random_gen
val random_range : t -> t -> t random_gen
val fsign : t -> t

fsign x is one of -1., -0., +0., +1., or nan if x is NaN.

  • since 0.7
val round : t -> t

round x returns the closest integer value, either above or below. For n + 0.5, round returns n.

  • since 0.20
exception TrapNaN of string
val sign_exn : t -> int

sign_exn x will return the sign of x as 1, 0 or -1, or raise an exception TrapNaN if x is NaN. Note that infinities have defined signs in OCaml.

  • since 0.7
val to_int : t -> int

Alias to int_of_float. Unspecified if outside of the range of integers.

val of_int : int -> t

Alias to float_of_int.

val to_string : t -> string
val of_string_exn : string -> t

Alias to float_of_string.

  • since 1.2
val of_string_opt : string -> t option
  • since 3.0
val equal_precision : epsilon:t -> t -> t -> bool

Equality with allowed error up to a non negative epsilon value.

val classify : t -> fpclass

classify x returns the class of the given floating-point number x: normal, subnormal, zero, infinite or nan (not a number).
