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!

Signum

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Signum function.

The signum function is defined as

Signum function

for any real number x.

Installation

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

Usage

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

Evaluates the signum function for a double-precision floating-point number.

var sign = signum( -5.0 );
// returns -1

sign = signum( 5.0 );
// returns 1

sign = signum( -0.0 );
// returns -0

sign = signum( 0.0 );
// returns 0

sign = signum( NaN );
// returns NaN

Notes

Table of results:

ValueSign
x > 0+1
x < 0-1
00
-0-0
NaNNaN

Examples

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

var sign;
var x;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    x = round( randu()*100.0 ) - 50.0;
    sign = signum( x );
    console.log( 'signum(%d) = %d', x, sign );
}

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/signum.h"
stdlib_base_signum( x )

Evaluates the signum function for a double-precision floating-point number.

double y = stdlib_base_signum( -9.0 );
// returns -1.0

The function accepts the following arguments:

  • x: [in] double input value.
double stdlib_base_signum( const double x );

Examples

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/signum.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_signum( x[ i ] );
        printf( "signum(%lf) = %lf\n", x[ i ], y );
    }
}

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
