dt::Date + t::Time -> DateTime

The addition of a Date with a Time produces a DateTime. The hour, minute, second, and millisecond parts of the Time are used along with the year, month, and day of the Date to create the new DateTime. Non-zero microseconds or nanoseconds in the Time type will result in an InexactError being thrown.

julia> -(2, 4.5)
-2.5

Examples

julia> 2 * 7 * 8
112

julia> *(2, 7, 8)

julia> 4/2
2.0

julia> 4.5/2

2.0

julia> inv(3) * 6

Base.:^Method.
^(x, y)

Exponentiation operator. If x is a matrix, computes matrix exponentiation.

If y is an Int literal (e.g. 2 in x^2 or -3 in x^-3), the Julia code x^y is transformed by the compiler to Base.literal_pow(^, x, Val(y)), to enable compile-time specialization on the value of the exponent. (As a default fallback we have Base.literal_pow(^, x, Val(y)) = ^(x,y), where usually ^ == Base.^ unless ^ has been defined in the calling namespace.)

Base.fmaFunction.
fma(x, y, z)

Computes x*y+z without rounding the intermediate result x*y. On some systems this is significantly more expensive than x*y+z. fma is used to improve accuracy in certain algorithms. See muladd.

source
Base.muladdFunction.
muladd(x, y, z)

Combined multiply-add: computes x*y+z, but allowing the add and multiply to be merged with each other or with surrounding operations for performance. For example, this may be implemented as an fma if the hardware supports it efficiently. The result can be different on different machines and can also be different on the same machine due to constant propagation or other optimizations. See fma.

Examples

julia> muladd(3, 2, 1)

julia> 3 * 2 + 1
7
source
Base.invMethod.
inv(x)

Return the multiplicative inverse of x, such that x*inv(x) or inv(x)*x yields one(x) (the multiplicative identity) up to roundoff errors.

If x is a number, this is essentially the same as one(x)/x, but for some types inv(x) may be slightly more efficient.

Examples

julia> inv(2)
0.5

julia> inv(1 + 2im)
0.2 - 0.4im

julia> inv(1 + 2im) * (1 + 2im)

3

julia> mod(3, 0:2)
0
Julia 1.3

This method requires at least Julia 1.3.

source
mod(x, y)
rem(x, y, RoundDown)

The reduction of x modulo y, or equivalently, the remainder of x after floored division by y, i.e. x - y*fld(x,y) if computed without intermediate rounding.

The result will have the same sign as y, and magnitude less than abs(y) (with some exceptions, see note below).

Note

When used with floating point values, the exact result may not be representable by the type, and so rounding error may occur. In particular, if the exact result is very close to y, then it may be rounded to y.

Base.Math.rem2piFunction.
rem2pi(x, r::RoundingMode)

Compute the remainder of x after integer division by , with the quotient rounded according to the rounding mode r. In other words, the quantity

x - 2π*round(x/(2π),r)

without any intermediate rounding. This internally uses a high precision approximation of 2π, and so will give a more accurate result than rem(x,2π,r)

  • if r == RoundNearest, then the result is in the interval $[-π, π]$. This will generally be the most accurate result. See also RoundNearest.

  • if r == RoundToZero, then the result is in the interval $[0, 2π]$ if x is positive,. or $[-2π, 0]$ otherwise. See also RoundToZero.

  • if r == RoundDown, then the result is in the interval $[0, 2π]$. See also RoundDown.

  • if r == RoundUp, then the result is in the interval $[-2π, 0]$. See also RoundUp.

Base.::Function.
(:)(start, [step], stop)

Range operator. a:b constructs a range from a to b with a step size of 1 (a UnitRange) , and a:s:b is similar but uses a step size of s (a StepRange).

: is also used in indexing to select whole dimensions and for Symbol literals, as in e.g. :hello.

source

source
Base.rangeFunction.
range(start[, stop]; length, stop, step=1)

Given a starting value, construct a range either by length or from start to stop, optionally with a given step (defaults to 1, a UnitRange). One of length or stop is required. If length, stop, and step are all specified, they must agree.

If length and stop are provided and step is not, the step size will be computed automatically such that there are length linearly spaced elements in the range (a LinRange).

If step and stop are provided and length is not, the overall range length will be computed automatically such that the elements are step spaced (a StepRange).

stop may be specified as either a positional or keyword argument.

Julia 1.1

stop as a positional argument requires at least Julia 1.1.

Examples

julia> range(1, length=100)
1:100

julia> range(1, stop=100)

source
Base.OneToType.
Base.OneTo(n)

Define an AbstractUnitRange that behaves like 1:n, with the added distinction that the lower limit is guaranteed (by the type system) to be 1.

source
StepRangeLen{T,R,S}(ref::R, step::S, len, [offset=1]) where {T,R,S}
StepRangeLen(       ref::R, step::S, len, [offset=1]) where {  R,S}

A range r where r[i] produces values of type T (in the second form, T is deduced automatically), parameterized by a reference value, a step, and the length. By default ref is the starting value r[1], but alternatively you can supply it as the value of r[offset] for some other index 1 <= offset <= len. In conjunction with TwicePrecision this can be used to implement ranges that are free of roundoff error.

source
Base.:==Function.
==(x, y)

Generic equality operator. Falls back to ===. Should be implemented for all types with a notion of equality, based on the abstract value that an instance represents. For example, all numeric types are compared by numeric value, ignoring type. Strings are compared as sequences of characters, ignoring encoding. For collections, == is generally called recursively on all contents, though other properties (like the shape for arrays) may also be taken into account.

This operator follows IEEE semantics for floating-point numbers: 0.0 == -0.0 and NaN != NaN.

The result is of type Bool, except when one of the operands is missing, in which case missing is returned (three-valued logic). For collections, missing is returned if at least one of the operands contains a missing value and all non-missing values are equal. Use isequal or === to always get a Bool result.

Implementation

New numeric types should implement this function for two arguments of the new type, and handle comparison to other types via promotion rules where possible.

isequal falls back to ==, so new methods of == will be used by the Dict type to compare keys. If your type will be used as a dictionary key, it should therefore also implement hash.

source
==(x)

Create a function that compares its argument to x using ==, i.e. a function equivalent to y -> y == x.

The returned function is of type Base.Fix2{typeof(==)}, which can be used to implement specialized methods.

source
==(a::AbstractString, b::AbstractString) -> Bool

Test whether two strings are equal character by character (technically, Unicode code point by code point).

Examples

julia> "abc" == "abc"
true

julia> "abc" == "αβγ"
false
source
Base.:!=Function.
!=(x, y)
≠(x,y)

Not-equals comparison operator. Always gives the opposite answer as ==.

Implementation

New types should generally not implement this, and rely on the fallback definition !=(x,y) = !(x==y) instead.

Examples

julia> 3 != 2
true

julia> "foo" ≠ "foo"
false
source
!=(x)

Create a function that compares its argument to x using !=, i.e. a function equivalent to y -> y != x. The returned function is of type Base.Fix2{typeof(!=)}, which can be used to implement specialized methods.

Julia 1.2

This functionality requires at least Julia 1.2.

source
Base.:!==Function.
!==(x, y)
≢(x,y)

Always gives the opposite answer as ===.

Examples

julia> a = [1, 2]; b = [1, 2];

julia> a ≢ b
true

julia> a ≢ a
false
source
Base.:<Function.
<(x, y)

Less-than comparison operator. Falls back to isless. Because of the behavior of floating-point NaN values, this operator implements a partial order.

Implementation

New numeric types with a canonical partial order should implement this function for two arguments of the new type. Types with a canonical total order should implement isless instead. (x < y) | (x == y)

Examples

julia> 'a' < 'b'
true

julia> "abc" < "abd"
true

julia> 5 < 3
false
source
<(x)

Julia 1.2

This functionality requires at least Julia 1.2.

source
Base.:>Function.
>(x, y)

Greater-than comparison operator. Falls back to y < x.

Implementation

Generally, new types should implement < instead of this function, and rely on the fallback definition >(x, y) = y < x.

julia> 'a' > 'b'
false

julia> 7 > 3 > 1
true

julia> "abc" > "abd"
false

julia> 5 > 3

Mathematical Functions

Base.isapproxFunction.
isapprox(x, y; rtol::Real=atol>0 ? 0 : √eps, atol::Real=0, nans::Bool=false, norm::Function)

Inexact equality comparison: true if norm(x-y) <= max(atol, rtol*max(norm(x), norm(y))). The default atol is zero and the default rtol depends on the types of x and y. The keyword argument nans determines whether or not NaN values are considered equal (defaults to false).

For real or complex floating-point values, if an atol > 0 is not specified, rtol defaults to the square root of eps of the type of x or y, whichever is bigger (least precise). This corresponds to requiring equality of about half of the significand digits. Otherwise, e.g. for integer arguments or if an atol > 0 is supplied, rtol defaults to zero.

x and y may also be arrays of numbers, in which case norm defaults to the usual norm function in LinearAlgebra, but may be changed by passing a norm::Function keyword argument. (For numbers, norm is the same thing as abs.) When x and y are arrays, if norm(x-y) is not finite (i.e. ±Inf or NaN), the comparison falls back to checking whether all elements of x and y are approximately equal component-wise.

The binary operator is equivalent to isapprox with the default arguments, and x ≉ y is equivalent to !isapprox(x,y).

Note that x ≈ 0 (i.e., comparing to zero with the default tolerances) is equivalent to x == 0 since the default atol is 0. In such cases, you should either supply an appropriate atol (or use norm(x) ≤ atol) or rearrange your code (e.g. use x ≈ y rather than x - y ≈ 0). It is not possible to pick a nonzero atol automatically because it depends on the overall scaling (the "units") of your problem: for example, in x - y ≈ 0, atol=1e-9 is an absurdly small tolerance if x is the radius of the Earth in meters, but an absurdly large tolerance if x is the radius of a Hydrogen atom in meters.

Examples

julia> 0.1 ≈ (0.1 - 1e-10)
true

julia> isapprox(10, 11; atol = 2)
true

julia> isapprox([10.0^9, 1.0], [10.0^9, 2.0])
true

julia> 1e-10 ≈ 0
false

julia> isapprox(1e-10, 0, atol=1e-8)
true

Base.roundMethod.
round([T,] x, [r::RoundingMode])
round(x, [r::RoundingMode]; digits::Integer=0, base = 10)
round(x, [r::RoundingMode]; sigdigits::Integer, base = 10)

Rounds the number x.

Without keyword arguments, x is rounded to an integer value, returning a value of type T, or of the same type of x if no T is provided. An InexactError will be thrown if the value is not representable by T, similar to convert.

If the digits keyword argument is provided, it rounds to the specified number of digits after the decimal place (or before if negative), in base base.

If the sigdigits keyword argument is provided, it rounds to the specified number of significant digits, in base base.

The RoundingModer controls the direction of the rounding; the default is RoundNearest, which rounds to the nearest integer, with ties (fractional values of 0.5) being rounded to the nearest even integer. Note that round may give incorrect results if the global rounding mode is changed (see rounding).

Examples

julia> round(1.7)
2.0

julia> round(Int, 1.7)
2

julia> round(1.5)
2.0

julia> round(2.5)
2.0

julia> round(pi; digits=2)
3.14

julia> round(pi; digits=3, base=2)

julia> round(123.456; sigdigits=2)
120.0

julia> round(357.913; sigdigits=4, base=2)
352.0
Note

Rounding to specified digits in bases other than 2 can be inexact when operating on binary floating point numbers. For example, the Float64 value represented by 1.15 is actually less than 1.15, yet will be rounded to 1.2.

Examples

julia> x = 1.15
1.15

julia> @sprintf "%.20f" x
"1.14999999999999991118"

julia> x < 115//100
true

julia> round(x, digits=1)
1.2

Extensions

To extend round to new numeric types, it is typically sufficient to define Base.round(x::NewType, r::RoundingMode).

source
RoundingMode

A type used for controlling the rounding mode of floating point operations (via rounding/setrounding functions), or as optional arguments for rounding to the nearest integer (via the round function).

Currently supported rounding modes are:

source
RoundNearest

The default rounding mode. Rounds to the nearest integer, with ties (fractional values of 0.5) being rounded to the nearest even integer.

source
RoundNearestTiesAway

Rounds to nearest integer, with ties rounded away from zero (C/C++ round behaviour).

source
RoundNearestTiesUp

Rounds to nearest integer, with ties rounded toward positive infinity (Java/JavaScript round behaviour).

source
RoundToZero

round using this rounding mode is an alias for trunc.

source
RoundFromZero

Rounds away from zero. This rounding mode may only be used with T == BigFloat inputs to round.

Examples

julia> BigFloat("1.0000000000000001", 5, RoundFromZero)
1.06
source
Base.Rounding.RoundUpConstant.
RoundUp

round using this rounding mode is an alias for ceil.

source
RoundDown

round using this rounding mode is an alias for floor.

source
Base.roundMethod.

round(z::Complex[, RoundingModeReal, [RoundingModeImaginary]]; digits=, base=10)
round(z::Complex[, RoundingModeReal, [RoundingModeImaginary]]; sigdigits=, base=10)

Return the nearest integral value of the same type as the complex-valued z to z, breaking ties using the specified RoundingModes. The first RoundingMode is used for rounding the real components while the second is used for rounding the imaginary components.

Example

julia> round(3.14 + 4.5im)
3.0 + 4.0im
source
Base.ceilFunction.
ceil([T,] x)
ceil(x; digits::Integer= [, base = 10])
ceil(x; sigdigits::Integer= [, base = 10])

ceil(x) returns the nearest integral value of the same type as x that is greater than or equal to x.

ceil(T, x) converts the result to type T, throwing an InexactError if the value is not representable.

digits, sigdigits and base work as for round.

source
Base.floorFunction.
floor([T,] x)
floor(x; digits::Integer= [, base = 10])
floor(x; sigdigits::Integer= [, base = 10])

floor(x) returns the nearest integral value of the same type as x that is less than or equal to x.

floor(T, x) converts the result to type T, throwing an InexactError if the value is not representable.

digits, sigdigits and base work as for round.

source
Base.truncFunction.
trunc([T,] x)
trunc(x; digits::Integer= [, base = 10])
trunc(x; sigdigits::Integer= [, base = 10])

trunc(x) returns the nearest integral value of the same type as x whose absolute value is less than or equal to x.

trunc(T, x) converts the result to type T, throwing an InexactError if the value is not representable.

digits, sigdigits and base work as for round.

source
Base.unsafe_truncFunction.

source
Base.absFunction.
abs(x)

Examples

julia> abs(-3)
3

Base.gcdxFunction.
gcdx(x,y)

Computes the greatest common (positive) divisor of x and y and their Bézout coefficients, i.e. the integer coefficients u and v that satisfy $ux+vy = d = gcd(x,y)$. $gcdx(x,y)$ returns $(d,u,v)$.

Examples

julia> gcdx(12, 42)
(6, -3, 1)

julia> gcdx(240, 46)
(2, -9, 47)
Note

Bézout coefficients are not uniquely defined. gcdx returns the minimal Bézout coefficients that are computed by the extended Euclidean algorithm. (Ref: D. Knuth, TAoCP, 2/e, p. 325, Algorithm X.) For signed integers, these coefficients u and v are minimal in the sense that $|u| < |y/d|$ and $|v| < |x/d|$. Furthermore, the signs of u and v are chosen so that d is positive. For unsigned integers, the coefficients u and v might be near their typemax, and the identity then holds only via the unsigned integers' modulo arithmetic.

@evalpoly(z, c...)

Evaluate the polynomial $\sum_k c[k] z^{k-1}$ for the coefficients c[1], c[2], ...; that is, the coefficients are given in ascending order by power of z. This macro expands to efficient inline code that uses either Horner's method or, for complex z, a more efficient Goertzel-like algorithm.

Examples

julia> @evalpoly(3, 1, 0, 1)
10

julia> @evalpoly(2, 1, 0, 1)
5

julia> @evalpoly(2, 1, 1, 1)

@fastmath expr

Execute a transformed version of the expression, which calls functions that may violate strict IEEE semantics. This allows the fastest possible operation, but results are undefined – be careful when doing this, as it may change numerical results.

This sets the LLVM Fast-Math flags, and corresponds to the -ffast-math option in clang. See the notes on performance annotations for more details.

Examples

julia> @fastmath 1+2

julia> @fastmath(sin(3))
