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);

Unqual!(CommonType!(T1,T2)) poly(T1, T2, int N) (
  T1 x,
  const ref T2[N] A
) pure nothrow @nogc @safe
if (isFloatingPoint!T1 && isFloatingPoint!T2 && (N > 0) && (N <= 10));

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

Parameters

NameDescription
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)
