Module palette::num

Traits for abstracting over numeric types.

These traits describe various numeric properties and operations. They are similar in purpose to the immensely helpful traits in num-traits, but the structure is different. The philosophy behind this module is to focus on capabilities, rather than categories, and to assume as little as possible. Within reason.

Instead of having large traits with a lot of methods and dependencies, each operation (or group of operations), are separated into their own traits. This allows number types to have partial compatibility by only implementing some of the traits, and new methods can be added as new traits without affecting old functionality.

Traits

• Abs
  Method for getting the absolute value of a number.
• Arithmetics
  A helper trait that collects arithmetic traits under one name.
• Cbrt
  Method for getting the cube root of a number.
• Clamp
  Trait for clamping a value.
• ClampAssign
  Assigning trait for clamping a value.
• Exp
  Methods for calculating e ^ x,
• FromScalar
  Trait for creating a vectorized value from a scalar value.
• FromScalarArray
  Conversion from an array of scalars to a vectorized value.
• Hypot
  Methods for calculating the lengths of a hypotenuse.
• IntoScalarArray
  Conversion from a vectorized value to an array of scalars.
• IsValidDivisor
  Methods for checking if a number can be used as a divisor.
• Ln
  Trait for getting the natural logarithm of self.
• MinMax
  Methods for getting the largest or smallest of two values.
• MulAdd
  Combined multiplication and addition operation.
• MulSub
  Combined multiplication and subtraction operation.
• One
  Methods for the value 1.
• PartialCmp
  Trait for lanewise comparison of two values.

  Method for getting the square root of a number.
• Trigonometry
  Trigonometry methods and their inverses.
• Zero
  Methods for the value 0.
