Math Library

The math library is a collection of mathematical functions and constants that provide a wide range of calculations that are commonly used. All functions in this library take either integers or floats as parameters and will return the result as a float.

The math library can usually be accessed with the import keyword:

import math;

Defined Constants

PI: float

This constant represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. It’s value is approximately 3.14159265358979323846.

E: float

This constant represents Euler’s number, the base of natural logarithms. It’s value is approximately 2.71828182845904523536.

EPSILON: float

This constant represents the acceptable amount of error when comparing floats with the functions provided by this library (see Defined Comparison Functions). It’s default value is 0.000001.

NAN: float

This constant represents “Not-a-Number”, often returned when a calculation is impossible e.g. sqrt(-1).

INFINITY: float

This constant represents an uncountable value.

Defined Power Functions

pow(x, y): float

This function returns x to the power of y.

sqrt(x): float

This function returns the square root of x.

qbrt(x): float

This function returns the cube root of x.

hypot(x, y): float

This function returns the length of the hypotenuse, assuming x and y are the legs in a right-angle triangle.

Defined Trigonometric Functions

toRadians(d): float

This function converts d into radians.

toDegrees(r): float

This function converts r into degrees.

sin(x): float

This function returns the sine of x.

cos(x): float

This function returns the cosine of x.

tan(x): float

This function returns the tangent of x.

asin(x): float

This function returns the arc sine of x.

acos(x): float

This function returns the arc cosine of x.

atan(x): float

This function returns the arc tangent of x.

Defined Hyperbolic Functions

sinh(x): float

This function returns the hyperbolic sine of x

cosh(x): float

This function returns the hyperbolic cosine of x

tanh(x): float

This function returns the hyperbolic tangent of x

asinh(x): float

This function returns the inverse hyperbolic sine of x

acosh(x): float

This function returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine of x

atanh(x): float

This function returns the inverse hyperbolic tangent of x

Defined Comparison Functions

checkIsNaN(x): bool

This function returns true if x is NaN, otherwise it returns false.

checkIsFinite(x): bool

This function returns true if x is finite, otherwise it returns false.

checkIsInfinite(x): bool

This function returns true if x is Infinite, otherwise it returns false.

epsilionCompare(x, y): bool

This function returns true if x and y are within EPSILON of each other, otherwise it returns false. This is very useful for compairing floating point values.
