Function `std.math.poly`

Evaluate polynomial A(x) = a₀ + a₁x + a₂x² + a₃x³; ...


						
				Unqual!(CommonType!(T1,T2)) poly(T1, T2)
				(
				

				  T1 x,
				

				  in T2[] A
				

				) pure nothrow @nogc @trusted
				

				if (isFloatingPoint!T1 && isFloatingPoint!T2);

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

Parameters

Name	Description
x	the value to evaluate.
A	array of coefficients a₀, a₁, etc.

Example

real x = 3.1;
static real[] pp = [56.1, 32.7, 6];

writeln(poly(x, pp)); // (56.1L + (32.7L + 6.0L * x) * x)
