Constructive mathematics is naturally typed. -- Simon Thompson

Basic math routines for Nim.

Note that the trigonometric functions naturally operate on radians. The helper functions degToRad and radToDeg provide conversion between radians and degrees.

Example:

import std/math
from std/fenv import epsilon
from std/random import rand

proc generateGaussianNoise(mu: float = 0.0, sigma: float = 1.0): (float, float) =
  # Generates values from a normal distribution.
  # Translated from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box%E2%80%93Muller_transform#Implementation.
  var u1: float
  var u2: float
  while true:
    u1 = rand(1.0)
    u2 = rand(1.0)
    if u1 > epsilon(float): break
  let mag = sigma * sqrt(-2 * ln(u1))
  let z0 = mag * cos(2 * PI * u2) + mu
  let z1 = mag * sin(2 * PI * u2) + mu
  (z0, z1)

echo generateGaussianNoise()

func almostEqual[T: SomeFloat](x, y: T; unitsInLastPlace: Natural = 4): bool {.
    inline.}

Checks if two float values are almost equal, using the machine epsilon.

unitsInLastPlace is the max number of units in the last place difference tolerated when comparing two numbers. The larger the value, the more error is allowed. A 0 value means that two numbers must be exactly the same to be considered equal.

The machine epsilon has to be scaled to the magnitude of the values used and multiplied by the desired precision in ULPs unless the difference is subnormal.

doAssert almostEqual(PI, 3.14159265358979)
doAssert almostEqual(Inf, Inf)

func ceilDiv[T: SomeInteger](x, y: T): T {.inline.}

Ceil division is conceptually defined as ceil(x / y).

Assumes x >= 0 and y > 0 (and x + y - 1 <= high(T) if T is SomeUnsignedInt).

This is different from the system.div operator, which works like trunc(x / y). That is, div rounds towards 0 and ceilDiv rounds up.

This function has the above input limitation, because that allows the compiler to generate faster code and it is rarely used with negative values or unsigned integers close to high(T)/2. If you need a ceilDiv that works with any input, see: https://github.com/demotomohiro/divmath.

func round[T: float32 | float64](x: T; places: int): T

Decimal rounding on a binary floating point number.

This function is NOT reliable. Floating point numbers cannot hold non integer decimals precisely. If places is 0 (or omitted), round to the nearest integral value following normal mathematical rounding rules (e.g. round(54.5) -> 55.0). If places is greater than 0, round to the given number of decimal places, e.g. round(54.346, 2) -> 54.350000000000001421…. If places is negative, round to the left of the decimal place, e.g. round(537.345, -1) -> 540.0.

Example:

doAssert round(PI, 2) == 3.14
doAssert round(PI, 4) == 3.1416
