The module implements expandably a wide set of % arithmetic, trigonometric, and other operations on decimal floating point % numbers, to be used within floating point expressions. \emph{Floating point % expressions} (\enquote{\meta{fp expr}}) support the following operations with their usual % precedence. % \begin{itemize} % \item Basic arithmetic: addition $x+y$, subtraction $x-y$, % multiplication $x*y$, division $x/y$, square root~$\sqrt{x}$, % and parentheses. % \item Comparison operators: $x\mathop{\mathtt{<}}y$, % $x\mathop{\mathtt{<=}}y$, $x\mathop{\mathtt{>?}}y$, % $x\mathop{\mathtt{!=}}y$ \emph{etc.} % \item Boolean logic: sign $\operatorname{sign} x$, % negation $\mathop{!}x$, conjunction % $x\mathop{\&\&}y$, disjunction $x\mathop{\vert\vert}y$, ternary % operator $x\mathop{?}y\mathop{:}z$. % \item Exponentials: $\exp x$, $\ln x$, $x^y$, $\operatorname{logb} x$. % \item Integer factorial: $\operatorname{fact} x$. % \item Trigonometry: $\sin x$, $\cos x$, $\tan x$, $\cot x$, $\sec % x$, $\csc x$ expecting their arguments in radians, and % $\operatorname{sind} x$, $\operatorname{cosd} x$, % $\operatorname{tand} x$, $\operatorname{cotd} x$, % $\operatorname{secd} x$, $\operatorname{cscd} x$ expecting their % arguments in degrees. % \item Inverse trigonometric functions: $\operatorname{asin} x$, % $\operatorname{acos} x$, $\operatorname{atan} x$, % $\operatorname{acot} x$, $\operatorname{asec} x$, % $\operatorname{acsc} x$ giving a result in radians, and % $\operatorname{asind} x$, $\operatorname{acosd} x$, % $\operatorname{atand} x$, $\operatorname{acotd} x$, % $\operatorname{asecd} x$, $\operatorname{acscd} x$ giving a result % in degrees. % \item [\emph{(not yet)}] Hyperbolic functions and their inverse % functions: $\sinh x$, $\cosh x$, $\tanh x$, $\coth x$, % $\operatorname{sech} x$, $\operatorname{csch}$, and % $\operatorname{asinh} x$, $\operatorname{acosh} x$, % $\operatorname{atanh} x$, $\operatorname{acoth} x$, % $\operatorname{asech} x$, $\operatorname{acsch} x$. % \item Extrema: $\max(x_{1},x_{2},\ldots)$, $\min(x_{1},x_{2},\ldots)$, % $\operatorname{abs}(x)$. % \item Rounding functions, controlled by two optional % values, $n$ (number of places, $0$ by default) and % $t$ (behavior on a tie, $\nan$ by default): % \begin{itemize} % \item $\operatorname{trunc}(x,n)$ rounds towards zero, % \item $\operatorname{floor}(x,n)$ rounds towards~$-\infty$, % \item $\operatorname{ceil}(x,n)$ rounds towards~$+\infty$, % \item $\operatorname{round}(x,n,t)$ rounds to the closest value, with % ties rounded to an even value by default, towards zero if $t=0$, % towards $+\infty$ if $t>0$ and towards $-\infty$ if $t<0$. % \end{itemize} % And \emph{(not yet)} modulo, and \enquote{quantize}. % \item Random numbers: $\mathop{rand}()$, $\mathop{randint}(m,n)$. % \item Constants: \texttt{pi}, \texttt{deg} (one degree in radians). % \item Dimensions, automatically expressed in points, \emph{e.g.}, % \texttt{pc} is~$12$. % \item Automatic conversion (no need for \cs[no-index]{\meta{type}_use:N}) of % integer, dimension, and skip variables to floating point numbers, % expressing dimensions in points and ignoring the stretch and % shrink components of skips. % \item Tuples: $(x_1,\ldots{},x_n)$ that can be stored in variables, % added together, multiplied or divided by a floating point number, % and nested. % \end{itemize} % Floating point numbers can be given either explicitly (in a form such % as |1.234e-34|, or |-.0001|), or as a stored floating point variable, % which is automatically replaced by its current value. % A \enquote{floating point} is a floating point number or a tuple thereof. See % section~\ref{sec:l3fp:fp-floats} for a description of what a floating point is, % section~\ref{sec:l3fp:fp-precedence} for details about how an expression is % parsed, and section~\ref{sec:l3fp:fp-operations} to know what the various % operations do. Some operations may raise exceptions (error messages), % described in section~\ref{sec:l3fp:fp-exceptions}. % % An example of use could be the following. % \begin{verbatim} % \LaTeX{} can now compute: $ \frac{\sin (3.5)}{2} + 2\cdot 10^{-3} % = \ExplSyntaxOn \fp_to_decimal:n {sin(3.5)/2 + 2e-3} $. % \end{verbatim} % The operation \texttt{round} can be used to limit the result's % precision. Adding $+0$ avoids the possibly undesirable output |-0|, % replacing it by |+0|. However, the \pkg{l3fp} module is mostly meant % as an underlying tool for higher-level commands. For example, one % could provide a function to typeset nicely the result of floating % point computations. % \begin{verbatim} % \documentclass{article} % \usepackage{siunitx} % \ExplSyntaxOn % \NewDocumentCommand { \calcnum } { m } % { \num { \fp_to_scientific:n {#1} } } % \ExplSyntaxOff % \begin{document} % \calcnum { 2 pi * sin ( 2.3 ^ 5 ) } % \end{document} % \end{verbatim} % See the documentation of \pkg{siunitx} for various options of % \cs{num}. % % \section{Creating and initialising floating point variables} % % \begin{function}[updated = 2012-05-08, tested = m3fp001] % {\fp_new:N, \fp_new:c} % \begin{syntax} % \cs{fp_new:N} \meta{fp~var} % \end{syntax} % Creates a new \meta{fp~var} or raises an error if the name is % already taken.

The % relevant \textsc{IEEE} standard defines $5$ types of exceptions, % of which we implement~$4$. % \begin{itemize} % \item \emph{Overflow} occurs whenever the result of an operation is % too large to be represented as a normal floating point number. This % results in $\pm \infty$. % \item \emph{Underflow} occurs whenever the result of an operation is % too close to $0$ to be represented as a normal floating point % number. This results in $\pm 0$. % \item \emph{Invalid operation} occurs for operations with no defined % outcome, for instance $0/0$ or $\sin(\infty)$, and results in a \nan{}. % It also occurs for conversion functions whose target type does not % have the appropriate infinite or \nan{} value (\emph{e.g.}, % \cs{fp_to_dim:n}). % \item \emph{Division by zero} occurs when dividing a non-zero number % by $0$, or when evaluating functions at poles, \emph{e.g.}, % $\ln(0)$ or $\cot(0)$. This results in $\pm\infty$. % \item [\emph{(not yet)}] \emph{Inexact} occurs whenever the result of % a computation is not exact, in other words, almost always. At the % moment, this exception is entirely ignored in \LaTeX3. % \end{itemize} % To each exception we associate a \enquote{flag}: \texttt{fp_overflow}, % \texttt{fp_underflow}, \texttt{fp_invalid_operation} and % \texttt{fp_division_by_zero}. The state of these flags can be tested % and modified with commands from \pkg{l3flag} % % By default, the \enquote{invalid operation} exception triggers an % (expandable) error, and raises the corresponding flag. Other % exceptions raise the corresponding flag but do not trigger an error. % The behaviour when an exception occurs can be modified (using % \cs{fp_trap:nn}) to either produce an error and raise the flag, or % only raise the flag, or do nothing at all. % % \begin{function}[added = 2012-07-19, updated = 2017-02-13, % tested = m3fp-traps001]{\fp_trap:nn} % \begin{syntax} % \cs{fp_trap:nn} \Arg{exception} \Arg{trap type} % \end{syntax} % All occurrences of the \meta{exception} (\texttt{overflow}, % \texttt{underflow}, \texttt{invalid_operation} or % \texttt{division_by_zero}) within the current % group are treated as \meta{trap type}, which can be % \begin{itemize} % \item \texttt{none}: the \meta{exception} will be entirely % ignored, and leave no trace; % \item \texttt{flag}: the \meta{exception} will turn the % corresponding flag on when it occurs; % \item \texttt{error}: additionally, the \meta{exception} will halt % the \TeX{} run and display some information about the current % operation in the terminal. % \end{itemize} % \emph{This function is experimental, and may be altered or removed.} % \end{function} % % \begin{variable}[module = fp] % { % flag fp_overflow, % flag fp_underflow, % flag fp_invalid_operation, % flag fp_division_by_zero % } % Flags denoting the occurrence of various floating-point exceptions. % \end{variable} % % \section{Viewing floating points} % % \begin{function}[added = 2012-05-08, updated = 2021-04-29, % tested = m3fp002]{\fp_show:N, \fp_show:c, \fp_show:n} % \begin{syntax} % \cs{fp_show:N} \meta{fp~var} % \cs{fp_show:n} \Arg{fp expr} % \end{syntax} % Evaluates the \meta{fp expr} and displays the % result in the terminal. % \end{function} % % \begin{function}[added = 2014-08-22, updated = 2021-04-29] % {\fp_log:N, \fp_log:c, \fp_log:n} % \begin{syntax} % \cs{fp_log:N} \meta{fp~var} % \cs{fp_log:n} \Arg{fp expr} % \end{syntax} % Evaluates the \meta{fp expr} and writes the % result in the log file. % \end{function} % % \section{Floating point expressions} % % \subsection{Input of floating point numbers} \label{sec:l3fp:fp-floats} % % We support four types of floating point numbers: % \begin{itemize} % \item $\pm m \cdot 10^{n}$, a floating % point number, with integer $1\leq m\leq 10^{16}$, and % $-{\ExplSyntaxOn\int_use:N\c__fp_minus_min_exponent_int}\leq % n\leq {\ExplSyntaxOn\int_use:N\c__fp_max_exponent_int}$; % \item $\pm 0$, zero, with a given sign; % \item $\pm \infty$, infinity, with a given sign; % \item \nan{}, is \enquote{not a number}, and can be either quiet % or signalling (\emph{not yet}: this distinction is currently % unsupported); % \end{itemize} % Normal floating point numbers are stored in base $10$, with up to $16$ % significant figures. % % On input, a normal floating point number consists of: % \begin{itemize} % \item \meta{sign}: a possibly empty string of |+| and |-| characters; % \item \meta{significand}: a non-empty string of digits together with zero % or one dot; % \item \meta{exponent} optionally: the character |e| or |E|, followed by a % possibly empty string of |+|~and~|-| tokens, and a non-empty string % of digits. % \end{itemize} % The sign of the resulting number is |+| if \meta{sign} contains an % even number of |-|, and |-| otherwise, hence, an empty \meta{sign} % denotes a non-negative input. The stored significand is obtained from % \meta{significand} by omitting the decimal separator and leading zeros, % and rounding to $16$ significant digits, filling with trailing zeros % if necessary. In particular, the value stored is exact if the input % \meta{significand} has at most $16$ digits. The stored \meta{exponent} % is obtained by combining the input \meta{exponent} ($0$ if absent) % with a shift depending on the position of the significand and the number % of leading zeros. % % A special case arises if the resulting \meta{exponent} is either too % large or too small for the floating point number to be % represented. This results either in an overflow (the number is then % replaced by $\pm\infty$), or an underflow (resulting in $\pm 0$). % % The result is thus $\pm 0$ if and only if \meta{significand} contains no % non-zero digit (\emph{i.e.}, consists only in characters~|0|, and an % optional period), or if there is an underflow. Note that a % single dot is currently a valid floating point number, equal to~$+0$, % but that is not guaranteed to remain true. % % The \meta{significand} must be non-empty, so |e1| and |e-1| are not % valid floating point numbers. Note that the latter could be mistaken % with the difference of \enquote{\texttt{e}} and $1$. To avoid % confusions, the base of natural logarithms cannot be input as |e| and % should be input as \texttt{exp(1)} or \cs[module = fp]{c_e_fp} (which is faster). % % Special numbers are input as follows: % \begin{itemize} % \item \texttt{inf} represents $+\infty$, and can be preceded by any % \meta{sign}, yielding $\pm\infty$ as appropriate. % \item \texttt{nan} represents a (quiet) non-number. It can be % preceded by any sign, but that sign is ignored. % \item Any unrecognizable string triggers an error, and produces a % \nan{}. % \item Note that commands such as \tn{infty}, \tn{pi}, or \tn{sin} % \emph{do not} work in floating point expressions. They may % silently be interpreted as completely unexpected numbers, because % integer constants (allowed in expressions) are commonly stored as % mathematical characters. % \end{itemize} % % \subsection{Precedence of operators} % \label{sec:l3fp:fp-precedence} % % We list here all the operations supported in floating point % expressions, in order of decreasing precedence: operations listed % earlier bind more tightly than operations listed below them. % \begin{itemize} % \item Function calls (\texttt{sin}, \texttt{ln}, \emph{etc}). % \item Binary |**| and |^| (right associative). % \item Unary |+|, |-|, |!|. % \item Implicit multiplication by juxtaposition (\texttt{2pi}) % when neither factor is in parentheses. % \item Binary |*| and |/|, implicit multiplication by juxtaposition with parentheses (for instance \texttt{3(4+5)}). % \item Binary |+| and |-|. % \item Comparisons |>=|, |!=|, |?|), and by |+|, |-|, |*|, |/|.

Perhaps easier to % implement if it is a single character, |@sin(1,2)|? % \item Provide an |isnan| function analogue of \cs{fp_if_nan:nTF}? % \item Support keyword arguments? % \end{itemize} % \pkg{Pgfmath} also provides box-measurements (depth, height, width), but % boxes are not possible expandably. % % Bugs, and tests to add. % \begin{itemize} % \item Check that functions are monotonic when they should. % \item Add exceptions to |?:|, |!<=>?|, |&&|, \verb"||", and |!|. % \item Logarithms of numbers very close to $1$ are inaccurate. % \item When rounding towards $-\infty$, |\dim_to_fp:n {0pt}| should % return $-0$, not $+0$. % \item The result of $(\pm0)+(\pm0)$, of $x+(-x)$, and of $(-x)+x$ % should depend on the rounding mode. % \item \texttt{0e9999999999} gives a \TeX{} \enquote{number too % large} error. % \item Subnormals are not implemented. % \end{itemize} % % Possible optimizations/improvements. % \begin{itemize} % \item Document that \pkg{l3trial/l3fp-types} introduces tools for % adding new types. % \item In subsection~\ref{sec:l3fp:fp-floats}, write a grammar. % \item It would be nice if the \texttt{parse} auxiliaries for each % operation were set up in the corresponding module, rather than % centralizing in \pkg{l3fp-parse}. % \item Some functions should get an |_o| ending to indicate that they % expand after their result. % \item More care should be given to distinguish expandable/restricted % expandable (auxiliary and internal) functions. % \item The code for the \texttt{ternary} set of functions is ugly. % \item There are many |~| missing in the doc to avoid bad line-breaks. % \item The algorithm for computing the logarithm of the significand % could be made to use a $5$ terms Taylor series instead of $10$ % terms by taking $c = 2000/(\lfloor 200x\rfloor +1) \in [10,95]$ % instead of $c\in [1,10]$. Also, it would then be possible to % simplify the computation of $t$. However, we would then have to % hard-code the logarithms of $44$ small integers instead of $9$. % \item Improve notations in the explanations of the division % algorithm (\pkg{l3fp-basics}). % \item Understand and document \cs[no-index]{__fp_basics_pack_weird_low:NNNNw} % and \cs[no-index]{__fp_basics_pack_weird_high:NNNNNNNNw} better. Move the % other \texttt{basics_pack} auxiliaries to \pkg{l3fp-aux} under a % better name. % \item Find out if underflow can really occur for trigonometric % functions, and redoc as appropriate. % \item Add bibliography. Some of Kahan's articles, some previous % \TeX{} fp packages, the international standards,\ldots{} % \item Also take into account the \enquote{inexact} exception? % \item Support multi-character prefix operators (\emph{e.g.}, |@/| or % whatever)? % \end{itemize} % % \end{documentation} % % \begin{implementation} % % \section{\pkg{l3fp} implementation} % % Nothing to see here: everything is in the subfiles! % % \end{implementation} % % \PrintIndex
