| |
| <p>The C library provides functions to do basic operations on |
| floating-point numbers. These include absolute value, maximum and minimum, |
| normalization, bit twiddling, rounding, and a few others. |
| |
| <ul class="menu"> |
| <li><a accesskey="1" href="Absolute-Value.html#Absolute-Value">Absolute Value</a>: Absolute values of integers and floats. |
| <li><a accesskey="2" href="Normalization-Functions.html#Normalization-Functions">Normalization Functions</a>: Extracting exponents and putting them back. |
| <li><a accesskey="3" href="Rounding-Functions.html#Rounding-Functions">Rounding Functions</a>: Rounding floats to integers. |
| <li><a accesskey="4" href="Remainder-Functions.html#Remainder-Functions">Remainder Functions</a>: Remainders on division, precisely defined. |
| <li><a accesskey="5" href="FP-Bit-Twiddling.html#FP-Bit-Twiddling">FP Bit Twiddling</a>: Sign bit adjustment. Adding epsilon. |
| <li><a accesskey="6" href="FP-Comparison-Functions.html#FP-Comparison-Functions">FP Comparison Functions</a>: Comparisons without risk of exceptions. |
| <li><a accesskey="7" href="Misc-FP-Arithmetic.html#Misc-FP-Arithmetic">Misc FP Arithmetic</a>: Max, min, positive difference, multiply-add. |
