Slot Details

abs

Float abs()

Return the absolute value of this float. If this value is positive then return this, otherwise return the negation.

acos

Return the arc cosine.

approx

Bool approx(Float r, Float? tolerance := null)

Return if this Float is approximately equal to the given Float by the specified tolerance. If tolerance is null, then it is computed using the magnitude of the two Floats. It is useful for comparing Floats since often they lose a bit of precision during manipulation. This method is equivalent to:

if (tolerance == null) tolerance = min(abs(this/1e6), abs(r/1e6))
(this - r).abs < tolerance

asin

Float asin()

Return the arc sine.

atan

Float atan()

Return the arc tangent.

atan2

Converts rectangular coordinates (x, y) to polar (r, theta).

bits

Int bits()

Return 64-bit representation according IEEE 754 floating-point double format bit layout. This method is paired with Float.makeBits.

bits32

Int bits32()

Return 32-bit representation according IEEE 754 floating-point single format bit layout. This method is paired with Float.makeBits32.

ceil

Float ceil()

Returns the smallest whole number greater than or equal to this number.

clamp

Float clamp(Float min, Float max)

Clamp this float between the min and max. If its less than min then return min, if its greater than max return max, otherwise return this float itself.

compare

virtual override Int compare(Obj obj)

Compare based on floating point value.

NaN works as follows:

  • for the <=> operator NaN is always less than other values and equal to itself (so sort works as expected)
  • for all other comparison operators anything compared against NaN is false (normal Java semanatics)

Examples:

Float.nan <=> Float.nan  =>  0
2f <=> Float.nan         =>  1
Float.nan <=> 2f         =>  -1
2f < Float.nan           =>  false
Float.nan < 2f           =>  false
Float.nan <= Float.nan   =>  false
