module Float: Float
val neg : float -> float
Unary negation.
val add : float -> float -> float
Floating-point addition.
val sub : float -> float -> float
Floating-point subtraction.
val mul : float -> float -> float
Floating-point multiplication.
val div : float -> float -> float
Floating-point division.
val rem : float -> float -> float
rem a b
returns the remainder of a
with respect to b
. The returned
value is a -. n *. b
, where n
is the quotient a /. b
rounded towards
zero to an integer.
val abs : float -> float
abs f
returns the absolute value of f
.
val infinity : float
Positive infinity.
val neg_infinity : float
Negative infinity.
val nan : float
A special floating-point value denoting the result of an
undefined operation such as 0.0 /. 0.0
. Stands for
'not a number'. Any floating-point operation with nan
as
argument returns nan
as result. As for floating-point comparisons,
=
, <
, <=
, >
and >=
return false
and <>
returns true
if one or both of their arguments is nan
.
val pi : float
The constant pi.
val max_float : float
The largest positive finite value of type float
.
val min_float : float
The smallest positive, non-zero, non-denormalized value of type float
.
val epsilon : float
The difference between 1.0
and the smallest exactly representable
floating-point number greater than 1.0
.
val of_int : int -> float
Convert an integer to floating-point.
val to_int : float -> int
Truncate the given floating-point number to an integer.
The result is unspecified if the argument is nan
or falls outside the
range of representable integers.
val of_string : string -> float
Convert the given string to a float. The string is read in decimal
(by default) or in hexadecimal (marked by 0x
or 0X
).
The format of decimal floating-point numbers is
[-] dd.ddd (e|E) [+|-] dd
, where d
stands for a decimal digit.
The format of hexadecimal floating-point numbers is
[-] 0(x|X) hh.hhh (p|P) [+|-] dd
, where h
stands for an
hexadecimal digit and d
for a decimal digit.
In both cases, at least one of the integer and fractional parts must be
given; the exponent part is optional.
The _
(underscore) character can appear anywhere in the string
and is ignored.
Depending on the execution platforms, other representations of
floating-point numbers can be accepted, but should not be relied upon.
Raise Failure "float_of_string"
if the given string is not a valid
representation of a float.
val of_string_opt : string -> float option
Same as of_string
, but returns None
instead of raising.
val to_string : float -> string
Return the string representation of a floating-point number.

The five classes of floating-point numbers, as determined by
the Float.classify_float
function.
val classify_float : float -> fpclass
Return the class of the given floating-point number: normal, subnormal, zero, infinite, or not a number.
val pow : float -> float -> float
Exponentiation.
val sqrt : float -> float
Square root.
val exp : float -> float
Exponential.
val log : float -> float
Natural logarithm.
val log10 : float -> float
Base 10 logarithm.
val expm1 : float -> float
expm1 x
computes exp x -. 1.0
, giving numerically-accurate results
even if x
is close to 0.0
.
val log1p : float -> float
log1p x
computes log(1.0 +. x)
(natural logarithm),
giving numerically-accurate results even if x
is close to 0.0
.
val cos : float -> float
Cosine. Argument is in radians.
val sin : float -> float
Sine. Argument is in radians.
val tan : float -> float
Tangent. Argument is in radians.
val acos : float -> float
Arc cosine. The argument must fall within the range [-1.0, 1.0]
.
Result is in radians and is between 0.0
and pi
.
val asin : float -> float
Arc sine. The argument must fall within the range [-1.0, 1.0]
.
Result is in radians and is between -pi/2
and pi/2
.
val atan : float -> float
Arc tangent.
Result is in radians and is between -pi/2
and pi/2
.
val atan2 : float -> float -> float
atan2 y x
returns the arc tangent of y /. x
. The signs of x
and y
are used to determine the quadrant of the result.
Result is in radians and is between -pi
and pi
.
val hypot : float -> float -> float
hypot x y
returns sqrt(x *. x + y *. y)
, that is, the length
of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle with sides of length
x
and y
, or, equivalently, the distance of the point (x,y)
to origin. If one of x
or y
is infinite, returns infinity
even if the other is nan
.
val cosh : float -> float
Hyperbolic cosine. Argument is in radians.
val sinh : float -> float
Hyperbolic sine. Argument is in radians.
val tanh : float -> float
Hyperbolic tangent. Argument is in radians.
val ceil : float -> float
Round above to an integer value.
ceil f
returns the least integer value greater than or equal to f
.
The result is returned as a float.
val floor : float -> float
Round below to an integer value.
floor f
returns the greatest integer value less than or
equal to f
.
The result is returned as a float.
val copysign : float -> float -> float
copysign x y
returns a float whose absolute value is that of x
and whose sign is that of y
. If x
is nan
, returns nan
.
If y
is nan
, returns either x
or -. x
, but it is not
specified which.
val frexp : float -> float * int
frexp f
returns the pair of the significant
and the exponent of f
. When f
is zero, the
significant x
and the exponent n
of f
are equal to
zero. When f
is non-zero, they are defined by
f = x *. 2 ** n
and 0.5 <= x < 1.0
.
val ldexp : float -> int -> float
ldexp x n
returns x *. 2 ** n
.
val modf : float -> float * float
modf f
returns the pair of the fractional and integral
part of f
.
typet =
float
An alias for the type of floating-point numbers.
val compare : t -> t -> int
compare x y
returns 0
if x
is equal to y
, a negative integer if x
is less than y
, and a positive integer if x
is greater than
y
. compare
treats nan
as equal to itself and less than any other float
value. This treatment of nan
ensures that compare
defines a total
ordering relation.
val equal : t -> t -> bool
The equal function for floating-point numbers, compared using Float.compare
.
val hash : t -> int
The hash function for floating-point numbers.
