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.

+(x, y...)

Addition operator. x+y+z+... calls this function with all arguments, i.e. +(x, y, z, ...).

Examples

julia> 1 + 20 + 4
25

julia> +(1, 20, 4)
25

-(x, y)

Subtraction operator.

Examples

julia> 2 - 3
-1

julia> -(2, 4.5)
-2.5

*(x, y...)

Multiplication operator. x*y*z*... calls this function with all arguments, i.e. *(x, y, z, ...).

Examples

julia> 2 * 7 * 8
112

julia> *(2, 7, 8)
112

/(x, y)

Right division operator: multiplication of x by the inverse of y on the right. Gives floating-point results for integer arguments.

Examples

julia> 1/2
0.5

julia> 4/2
2.0

julia> 4.5/2
2.25

\(x, y)

Left division operator: multiplication of y by the inverse of x on the left. Gives floating-point results for integer arguments.

Examples

julia> 3 \ 6
2.0

julia> inv(3) * 6
2.0

julia> A = [4 3; 2 1]; x = [5, 6];

julia> A \ x

julia> inv(A) * x
2-element Vector{Float64}:
  6.5
 -7.0

^(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.) If y is a negative integer literal, then Base.literal_pow transforms the operation to inv(x)^-y by default, where -y is positive.

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.

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)
7

julia> 3 * 2 + 1
7

muladd(A, y, z)

Combined multiply-add, A*y .+ z, for matrix-matrix or matrix-vector multiplication. The result is always the same size as A*y, but z may be smaller, or a scalar.

Examples

julia> A=[1.0 2.0; 3.0 4.0]; B=[1.0 1.0; 1.0 1.0]; z=[0, 100];

julia> muladd(A, B, z)

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)
1.0 + 0.0im

mod(x::Integer, r::AbstractUnitRange)

Find y in the range r such that $x ≡ y (mod n)$, where n = length(r), i.e. y = mod(x - first(r), n) + first(r).

See also: mod1.

Examples

julia> mod(0, Base.OneTo(3))
3

0

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).

julia> mod(8, 3)

julia> mod(9, 3)
0

julia> mod(8.9, 3)

rem(x::Integer, T::Type{<:Integer}) -> T
mod(x::Integer, T::Type{<:Integer}) -> T
%(x::Integer, T::Type{<:Integer}) -> T

Find y::T such that x ≡ y (mod n), where n is the number of integers representable in T, and y is an integer in [typemin(T),typemax(T)]. If T can represent any integer (e.g. T == BigInt), then this operation corresponds to a conversion to T.

Examples

julia> 129 % Int8
-127

rem(x, y)
%(x, y)

Remainder from Euclidean division, returning a value of the same sign as x, and smaller in magnitude than y. This value is always exact.

Examples

julia> x = 15; y = 4;

julia> x % y
3

julia> x == div(x, y) * y + rem(x, y)
true

rem2pi(x, r::RoundingMode)

Compute the remainder of x after integer division by 2π, 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.

Examples

julia> rem2pi(7pi/4, RoundNearest)
-0.7853981633974485

julia> rem2pi(7pi/4, RoundDown)
5.497787143782138

mod2pi(x)

Modulus after division by 2π, returning in the range $[0,2π)$.

This function computes a floating point representation of the modulus after division by numerically exact 2π, and is therefore not exactly the same as mod(x,2π), which would compute the modulus of x relative to division by the floating-point number 2π.

Examples

julia> mod2pi(9*pi/4)
0.7853981633974481

divrem(x, y, r::RoundingMode=RoundToZero)

The quotient and remainder from Euclidean division. Equivalent to (div(x,y,r), rem(x,y,r)). Equivalently, with the default value of r, this call is equivalent to (x÷y, x%y).

Examples

julia> divrem(3,7)
(0, 3)

julia> divrem(7,3)
(2, 1)

fldmod(x, y)

fld1(x, y)

Flooring division, returning a value consistent with mod1(x,y)

See also: mod1, fldmod1.

Examples

<<(x, n)

Left bit shift operator, x << n. For n >= 0, the result is x shifted left by n bits, filling with 0s. This is equivalent to x * 2^n. For n < 0, this is equivalent to x >> -n.

Examples

julia> Int8(3) << 2
12

julia> bitstring(Int8(3))
"00000011"

julia> bitstring(Int8(12))
"00001100"

See also >>, >>>.

<<(B::BitVector, n) -> BitVector

Left bit shift operator, B << n. For n >= 0, the result is B with elements shifted n positions backwards, filling with false values. If n < 0, elements are shifted forwards. Equivalent to B >> -n.

Examples

julia> B = BitVector([true, false, true, false, false])
5-element BitVector:

 0
 1
 0

>>(x, n)

Right bit shift operator, x >> n. For n >= 0, the result is x shifted right by n bits, where n >= 0, filling with 0s if x >= 0, 1s if x < 0, preserving the sign of x. This is equivalent to fld(x, 2^n). For n < 0, this is equivalent to x << -n.

Examples

julia> Int8(13) >> 2

See also >>>, <<.

>>(B::BitVector, n) -> BitVector

Right bit shift operator, B >> n. For n >= 0, the result is B with elements shifted n positions forward, filling with false values. If n < 0, elements are shifted backwards. Equivalent to B << -n.

>>>(x, n)

Unsigned right bit shift operator, x >>> n. For n >= 0, the result is x shifted right by n bits, where n >= 0, filling with 0s. For n < 0, this is equivalent to x << -n.

For Unsigned integer types, this is equivalent to >>. For Signed integer types, this is equivalent to signed(unsigned(x) >> n).

Examples

julia> Int8(-14) >>> 2
60

julia> bitstring(Int8(-14))
"11110010"

julia> bitstring(Int8(60))
"00111100"

BigInts are treated as if having infinite size, so no filling is required and this is equivalent to >>.

See also >>, <<.

>>>(B::BitVector, n) -> BitVector

Unsigned right bitshift operator, B >>> n. Equivalent to B >> n. See >> for details and examples.

bitrotate(x::Base.BitInteger, k::Integer)

bitrotate(x, k) implements bitwise rotation. It returns the value of x with its bits rotated left k times. A negative value of k will rotate to the right instead.

julia> bitrotate(UInt8(114), 2)
0xc9

julia> bitstring(bitrotate(0b01110010, 2))
"11001001"

julia> bitstring(bitrotate(0b01110010, -2))

(:)(start::CartesianIndex, [step::CartesianIndex], stop::CartesianIndex)

Construct CartesianIndices from two CartesianIndex and an optional step.

Examples

julia> I = CartesianIndex(2,1);

julia> J = CartesianIndex(3,3);

julia> I:J
2×3 CartesianIndices{2, Tuple{UnitRange{Int64}, UnitRange{Int64}}}:
 CartesianIndex(2, 1)  CartesianIndex(2, 2)  CartesianIndex(2, 3)
 CartesianIndex(3, 1)  CartesianIndex(3, 2)  CartesianIndex(3, 3)

julia> I:CartesianIndex(1, 2):J
2×2 CartesianIndices{2, Tuple{StepRange{Int64, Int64}, StepRange{Int64, Int64}}}:
 CartesianIndex(2, 1)  CartesianIndex(2, 3)
 CartesianIndex(3, 1)  CartesianIndex(3, 3)

(:)(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.

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.

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.

Special care is taken to ensure intermediate values are computed rationally. To avoid this induced overhead, see the LinRange constructor.

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

Examples

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

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

julia> range(1, step=5, length=100)
1:5:496

julia> range(1, step=5, stop=100)
1:5:96

julia> range(1, 10, length=101)
1.0:0.09:10.0

julia> range(1, 100, step=5)
1:5:96

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.

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.

==(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.

!=(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

!=(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.

!==(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

<(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

<(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.

<=(x, y)
≤(x,y)

Less-than-or-equals comparison operator. Falls back to (x < y) | (x == y).

Examples

julia> 'a' <= 'b'
true

julia> 7 ≤ 7 ≤ 9
true

julia> "abc" ≤ "abc"
true

julia> 5 <= 3
false

<=(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.

>(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.

Examples

julia> 'a' > 'b'
false

julia> 7 > 3 > 1
true

julia> "abc" > "abd"
false

julia> 5 > 3
true

>(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.

>=(x, y)
≥(x,y)

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

Examples

julia> 'a' >= 'b'
false

julia> 7 ≥ 7 ≥ 3
true

julia> "abc" ≥ "abc"
true

julia> 5 >= 3
true

>=(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.

cmp(x,y)

Return -1, 0, or 1 depending on whether x is less than, equal to, or greater than y, respectively. Uses the total order implemented by isless.

Examples

julia> cmp(1, 2)
-1

julia> cmp(2, 1)
1

julia> cmp(2+im, 3-im)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching isless(::Complex{Int64}, ::Complex{Int64})
[...]

cmp(<, x, y)

Return -1, 0, or 1 depending on whether x is less than, equal to, or greater than y, respectively. The first argument specifies a less-than comparison function to use.

cmp(a::AbstractString, b::AbstractString) -> Int

Compare two strings. Return 0 if both strings have the same length and the character at each index is the same in both strings. Return -1 if a is a prefix of b, or if a comes before b in alphabetical order. Return 1 if b is a prefix of a, or if b comes before a in alphabetical order (technically, lexicographical order by Unicode code points).

Examples

julia> cmp("abc", "abc")
0

julia> cmp("ab", "abc")
-1

julia> cmp("abc", "ab")
1

julia> cmp("ab", "ac")
-1

julia> cmp("ac", "ab")
1

julia> cmp("α", "a")
1

julia> cmp("b", "β")
-1

xor(x, y)
⊻(x, y)

Bitwise exclusive or of x and y. Implements three-valued logic, returning missing if one of the arguments is missing.

The infix operation a ⊻ b is a synonym for xor(a,b), and ⊻ can be typed by tab-completing \xor or \veebar in the Julia REPL.

julia> xor(true, false)
true

julia> xor(true, true)
false

1×3 BitMatrix:
 0  1  0

!f::Function

Predicate function negation: when the argument of ! is a function, it returns a function which computes the boolean negation of f.

Examples

julia> str = "∀ ε > 0, ∃ δ > 0: |x-y| < δ ⇒ |f(x)-f(y)| < ε"
"∀ ε > 0, ∃ δ > 0: |x-y| < δ ⇒ |f(x)-f(y)| < ε"

x && y

Short-circuiting boolean AND.

x || y

Short-circuiting boolean OR.

isapprox(x, y; atol::Real=0, rtol::Real=atol>0 ? 0 : √eps, 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.

The norm keyword defaults to abs for numeric (x,y) and to LinearAlgebra.norm for arrays (where an alternative norm choice is sometimes useful). 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

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).

Extensions

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

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:

• RoundNearest (default)
• RoundNearestTiesAway
• RoundNearestTiesUp
• RoundToZero
• RoundFromZero (BigFloat only)
• RoundUp
• RoundDown

RoundNearest

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

RoundNearestTiesAway

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

RoundNearestTiesUp

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

RoundToZero

round using this rounding mode is an alias for trunc.

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

RoundUp

round using this rounding mode is an alias for ceil.

RoundDown

round using this rounding mode is an alias for floor.

round(z::Complex[, RoundingModeReal, [RoundingModeImaginary]])
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

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.

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.

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.

unsafe_trunc(T, x)

abs(x)

The absolute value of x.

When abs is applied to signed integers, overflow may occur, resulting in the return of a negative value. This overflow occurs only when abs is applied to the minimum representable value of a signed integer. That is, when x == typemin(typeof(x)), abs(x) == x < 0, not -x as might be expected.

Examples

julia> abs(-3)
3

julia> abs(1 + im)

julia> ndigits(12345)
5

julia> ndigits(1022, base=16)
3

julia> string(1022, base=16)
"3fe"

julia> ndigits(123, pad=5)
5

widemul(x, y)

Multiply x and y, giving the result as a larger type.

Examples

julia> widemul(Float32(3.), 4.)
12.0

evalpoly(x, p)

Evaluate the polynomial $\sum_k x^{k-1} p[k]$ for the coefficients p[1], p[2], ...; that is, the coefficients are given in ascending order by power of x. Loops are unrolled at compile time if the number of coefficients is statically known, i.e. when p is a Tuple. This function generates efficient code using Horner's method if x is real, or using a Goertzel-like ^[DK62] algorithm if x is complex.

Example

julia> evalpoly(2, (1, 2, 3))
17

@evalpoly(z, c...)

Evaluate the polynomial $\sum_k z^{k-1} c[k]$ 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)
7

@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
3

julia> @fastmath(sin(3))
