protected boolean strict
Constructor Detail

Power

public Power()
Standard constructor, Complex results for x < 0, y non integral.

If strict is true then returns NaN for x < 0, y non integral.

Parameters:
strict -
Method Detail

eval

public java.lang.Object eval(java.lang.Object l,
                             java.lang.Object r)
                      throws EvaluationException
Specified by:
eval in class BinaryFunction
Throws:
EvaluationException

power

public java.lang.Object power(java.lang.Object param1,
                              java.lang.Object param2)
                       throws EvaluationException
Throws:
EvaluationException

power

public java.lang.Object power(java.lang.Number d1,
                              java.lang.Number d2)

power

public static java.lang.Object power(Complex c1,
                                     Complex c2)

power

public static java.lang.Object power(Complex c,
                                     java.lang.Number d)

power

public static java.lang.Object power(java.lang.Number d,
                                     Complex c)

power

public static double power(double l,
                           int n)
A fast routine for computing integer powers. Code adapted from efficient power by Patricia Shanahan [email protected] Almost identical to the method Knuth gives on page 462 of The Art of Computer Programming Volume 2 Seminumerical Algorithms.

Parameters:
l - number to be taken to a power.
n - power to take x to. 0 <= n <= Integer.MAX_VALUE Negative numbers will be treated as unsigned positives.
Returns:
x to the power n

evaluate

public double evaluate(double l,
                       double r)
Specified by:
evaluate in interface RealBinaryFunction

isAllowComplexResults

public boolean isAllowComplexResults()
Whether complex results are allowed for number arguments. If l is a negative Number and r is non integral Number then the pow function typically returns a Complex result. If this flag is set then an EvaluationException would be thrown instead.

Returns:
the status of the allowComplexResults flag.

setAllowComplexResults

public void setAllowComplexResults(boolean allowComplexResults)
