- hi!
-
- has anyone implemented any functions in Gofer to do any of the following on Floats:
-
- sqrt exp log sin atan erf
-
- the sqrt is easy, but the limited support for Floats in Gofer means that the others
- are hard to do adequately.
-
- btw, i don't mind if you've use `primitive' to define them in the interpreter itself.
- even if you don't have code, hints would be good. i don't have problems with the
- numerical analysis, but the absence of functions to return the exponent and mantissa
- of a Float is a real problem. (perhaps Mark Jones might consider defining such
- functions a la Haskell in the next release?)
-
- many thanks!
-
- bert.
