mathn

mathn is a library for changing the way Ruby does math. If you need more precise rounding with multiple division or exponentiation operations, then mathn is the right tool.

Without mathn:

3 / 2 => 1 # Integer

With mathn:

3 / 2 => 3/2 # Rational

mathn features late rounding and lacks truncation of intermediate results:

Without mathn:

20 / 9 * 3 * 14 / 7 * 3 / 2 # => 18

With mathn:

20 / 9 * 3 * 14 / 7 * 3 / 2 # => 20

When you require 'mathn', the libraries for Prime, CMath, Matrix and Vector are also loaded.

Included Modules

num.modulo(numeric) → real
x.modulo(y) means x-y*(x/y).floor

Equivalent to num.divmod(aNumeric).

See Numeric#divmod.

static VALUE
num_modulo(VALUE x, VALUE y)
{
    return rb_funcall(x, '-', 1,
                      rb_funcall(y, '*', 1,
                                 rb_funcall(x, rb_intern("div"), 1, y)));
}
+num → num

Unary Plus—Returns the receiver's value.

static VALUE
num_uplus(VALUE num)
{
    return num;
}
-num → numeric

Unary Minus—Returns the receiver's value, negated.

static VALUE
num_uminus(VALUE num)
{
    VALUE zero;

    zero = INT2FIX(0);
    do_coerce(&zero, &num, TRUE);

    return rb_funcall(zero, '-', 1, num);
}
number <=> other → 0 or nil

Returns zero if number equals other, otherwise nil is returned if the two values are incomparable.

static VALUE
num_cmp(VALUE x, VALUE y)
{
    if (x == y) return INT2FIX(0);
    return Qnil;
}
num.abs → numeric

Returns the absolute value of num.

12.abs         #=> 12
(-34.56).abs   #=> 34.56
-34.56.abs     #=> 34.56
static VALUE
num_abs(VALUE num)
{
    if (negative_int_p(num)) {
        return rb_funcall(num, rb_intern("-@"), 0);
    }
    return num;
}
num.abs2 → real

Returns square of self.

static VALUE
numeric_abs2(VALUE self)
{
    return f_mul(self, self);
}
num.angle → 0 or float

Returns 0 if the value is positive, pi otherwise.

static VALUE
numeric_arg(VALUE self)
{
    if (f_positive_p(self))
        return INT2FIX(0);
    return rb_const_get(rb_mMath, id_PI);
}

        return INT2FIX(0);
    return rb_const_get(rb_mMath, id_PI);
}
num.ceil → integer

Returns the smallest Integer greater than or equal to num. Class Numeric achieves this by converting itself to a Float then invoking Float#ceil.

1.ceil        #=> 1
1.2.ceil      #=> 2
(-1.2).ceil   #=> -1
(-1.0).ceil   #=> -1
static VALUE
num_ceil(VALUE num)
{
    return flo_ceil(rb_Float(num));
}
num.coerce(numeric) → array

If aNumeric is the same type as num, returns an array containing aNumeric and num. Otherwise, returns an array with both aNumeric and num represented as Float objects. This coercion mechanism is used by Ruby to handle mixed-type numeric operations: it is intended to find a compatible common type between the two operands of the operator.

1.coerce(2.5)   #=> [2.5, 1.0]
1.2.coerce(3)   #=> [3.0, 1.2]
1.coerce(2)     #=> [2, 1]

}
num.div(numeric) → integer

{
    if (rb_equal(INT2FIX(0), y)) rb_num_zerodiv();

}
num.divmod(numeric) → array

q = floor(x/y)
x = q*y+r

The quotient is rounded toward -infinity, as shown in the following table:

}
num.step(limit[, step]) {|i| block } → self num.step(limit[, step]) → an_enumerator

Invokes block with the sequence of numbers starting at num, incremented by step (default 1) on each call. The loop finishes when the value to be passed to the block is greater than limit (if step is positive) or less than limit (if step is negative). If all the arguments are integers, the loop operates using an integer counter. If any of the arguments are floating point numbers, all are converted to floats, and the loop is executed floor(n + n*epsilon)+ 1 times, where n = (limit - num)/step. Otherwise, the loop starts at num, uses either the < or > operator to compare the counter against limit, and increments itself using the + operator.

If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.

1.step(10, 2) { |i| print i, " " }
Math::E.step(Math::PI, 0.2) { |f| print f, " " }

produces:
