Description

This type of number is intended to serve as a parent class for those types of numbers that are inexactly represented in the computer.

Types of inexact number:

  • CC -- the class of all complex numbers
  • RR -- the class of all real numbers
  • RRi -- the class of all real intervals

Methods that use an inexact number:

  • Constant * InexactNumber -- see * -- a binary operator, usually used for multiplication
  • InexactNumber * Constant -- see * -- a binary operator, usually used for multiplication
  • Constant + InexactNumber -- see + -- a unary or binary operator, usually used for addition
  • InexactNumber + Constant -- see + -- a unary or binary operator, usually used for addition
  • InexactNumber + RingElement -- see + -- a unary or binary operator, usually used for addition
  • RingElement + InexactNumber -- see + -- a unary or binary operator, usually used for addition
  • Constant - InexactNumber -- see - -- a unary or binary operator, usually used for negation or subtraction
  • InexactNumber - Constant -- see - -- a unary or binary operator, usually used for negation or subtraction
  • InexactNumber - RingElement -- see - -- a unary or binary operator, usually used for negation or subtraction
  • RingElement - InexactNumber -- see - -- a unary or binary operator, usually used for negation or subtraction
  • imaginaryPart(InexactNumber) -- see imaginaryPart -- imaginary part
  • precision(InexactNumber) -- see precision
  • quotientRemainder(InexactNumber,RingElement) -- see quotientRemainder(RingElement,RingElement) -- quotient and remainder
  • quotientRemainder(RingElement,InexactNumber) -- see quotientRemainder(RingElement,RingElement) -- quotient and remainder
  • realPart(InexactNumber) -- see realPart -- real part

For the programmer

The object InexactNumber is a type, with ancestor classes Number < Thing.
