remquo returns n in the parameter n.

Note: remquo not supported on windows

struct IeeeFlags;

IEEE exception status flags ('sticky bits')

These flags indicate that an exceptional floating-point condition has occurred. They indicate that a NaN or an infinity has been generated, that a result is inexact, or that a signalling NaN has been encountered. If floating-point exceptions are enabled (unmasked), a hardware exception will be generated instead of setting these flags.

Example:

   real a=3.5;
   // Set all the flags to zero
   resetIeeeFlags();
   assert(!ieeeFlags.divByZero);
   // Perform a division by zero.
   a/=0.0L;
   assert(a==real.infinity);
   assert(ieeeFlags.divByZero);
   // Create a NaN
   a*=0.0L;
   assert(ieeeFlags.invalid);
   assert(isNaN(a));

   // Check that calling func() has no effect on the
   // status flags.
   IeeeFlags f = ieeeFlags;
   func();
   assert(ieeeFlags == f);

@property bool inexact();

The result cannot be represented exactly, so rounding occurred.

(example: x = sin(0.1); )

@property bool underflow();

A zero was generated by underflow (example: x = real.min*real.epsilon/2;)

@property bool overflow();

An infinity was generated by overflow (example: x = real.max*2;)

@property bool divByZero();

An infinity was generated by division by zero (example: x = 3/0.0; )

@property bool invalid();

A machine NaN was generated. (example: x = real.infinity * 0.0; )

void resetIeeeFlags();

Set all of the floating-point status flags to false.

@property IeeeFlags ieeeFlags();

Return a snapshot of the current state of the floating-point status flags.

struct FloatingPointControl;

Control the Floating point hardware

Change the IEEE754 floating-point rounding mode and the floating-point hardware exceptions.

By default, the rounding mode is roundToNearest and all hardware exceptions are disabled. For most applications, debugging is easier if the division by zero, overflow, and invalid operation exceptions are enabled. These three are combined into a severeExceptions value for convenience. Note in particular that if invalidException is enabled, a hardware trap will be generated whenever an uninitialized floating-point variable is used.

All changes are temporary. The previous state is restored at the end of the scope.

Example:

{
    FloatingPointControl fpctrl;

    // Enable hardware exceptions for division by zero, overflow to infinity,
    // invalid operations, and uninitialized floating-point variables.
    fpctrl.enableExceptions(FloatingPointControl.severeExceptions);

    // This will generate a hardware exception, if x is a
    // default-initialized floating point variable:
    real x; // Add `= 0` or even `= real.nan` to not throw the exception.
    real y = x * 3.0;

    // The exception is only thrown for default-uninitialized NaN-s.
    // NaN-s with other payload are valid:
    real z = y * real.nan; // ok

    // Changing the rounding mode:
    fpctrl.rounding = FloatingPointControl.roundUp;
    assert(rint(1.1) == 2);

    // The set hardware exceptions will be disabled when leaving this scope.
    // The original rounding mode will also be restored.
}

// Ensure previous values are returned:
assert(!FloatingPointControl.enabledExceptions);
assert(FloatingPointControl.rounding == FloatingPointControl.roundToNearest);
assert(rint(1.1) == 1);

Returns -1 if x < 0, x if x == 0, 1 if x > 0, and NAN if x==NAN.

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted real NaN(ulong payload);

Create a quiet NAN, storing an integer inside the payload.

For floats, the largest possible payload is 0x3F_FFFF. For doubles, it is 0x3_FFFF_FFFF_FFFF. For 80-bit or 128-bit reals, it is 0x3FFF_FFFF_FFFF_FFFF.

pure nothrow @nogc @safe T nextafter(T)(T x, T y);

Calculates the next representable value after x in the direction of y.

If y > x, the result will be the next largest floating-point value; if y < x, the result will be the next smallest value. If x == y, the result is y.

Remarks: This function is not generally very useful; it's almost always better to use the faster functions nextUp() or nextDown() instead.

The FE_INEXACT and FE_OVERFLOW exceptions will be raised if x is finite and the function result is infinite. The FE_INEXACT and FE_UNDERFLOW exceptions will be raised if the function value is subnormal, and x is not equal to y.

Uses Horner's rule A(x) = a₀ + x(a₁ + x(a₂ + x(a₃ + ...)))

Parameters:

real x	the value to evaluate.
real[] A	array of coefficients a0, a1, etc.

bool approxEqual(T, U, V)(T lhs, U rhs, V maxRelDiff, V maxAbsDiff = 1e-05);

Computes whether lhs is approximately equal to rhs admitting a maximum relative difference maxRelDiff and a maximum absolute difference maxAbsDiff.

If the two inputs are ranges, approxEqual returns true if and only if the ranges have the same number of elements and if approxEqual evaluates to true for each pair of elements.

bool approxEqual(T, U)(T lhs, U rhs);

Returns approxEqual(lhs, rhs, 1e-2, 1e-5).
