About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

copysign

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Return a double-precision floating-point number with the magnitude of x and the sign of y.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-copysign

Usage

var copysign = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-copysign' );

copysign( x, y )

Returns a double-precision floating-point number with the magnitude of x and the sign of y.

var z = copysign( -3.14, 10.0 );
// returns 3.14

z = copysign( 3.14, -1.0 );
// returns -3.14

z = copysign( 1.0, -0.0 );
// returns -1.0

z = copysign( -3.14, -0.0 );
// returns -3.14

z = copysign( -0.0, 1.0 );
// returns 0.0

Notes

  • According to the IEEE754 standard, a NaN has a biased exponent equal to 2047, a significand greater than 0, and a sign bit equal to either 1 or 0. In which case, NaN may not correspond to just one but many binary representations. Accordingly, care should be taken to ensure that y is not NaN; otherwise, behavior may be indeterminate.

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var copysign = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-copysign' );

var x;
var y;
var z;
var i;

// Generate random double-precision floating-point numbers `x` and `y` and copy the sign of `y` to `x`...
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    x = (randu()*100.0) - 50.0;
    y = (randu()*10.0) - 5.0;
    z = copysign( x, y );
    console.log( 'x: %d, y: %d => %d', x, y, z );
}

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/copysign.h"

stdlib_base_copysign( x, y )

Returns a double-precision floating-point number with the magnitude of x and the sign of y.

double v = stdlib_base_copysign( -3.14, 10.0 );
// returns 3.14

double v = stdlib_base_copysign( 3.14, -1.0 );
// returns -3.14

The function accepts the following arguments:

  • x: [in] double number from which to derive a magnitude.
  • y: [in] double number from which to derive a sign.
double stdlib_base_copysign( const double x, const double y );

Examples

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/copysign.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void ) {
    const double x[] = { 3.14, -3.14, 0.0, 0.0/0.0 };

    double y;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        y = stdlib_base_copysign( x[ i ], -3.0 );
        printf( "copysign(%lf, %lf) = %lf\n", x[ i ], -3.0, y );
    }
}
