mpfr
constantsEach of these functions takes a natural number as an argument specifying a precision, and returns a mathematical constant evaluated to that precision.
const_log2
pi
const_catalan
inf
ninf
nan
The name of the constant pi
has been shortened from
mpfr_const_pi
. The functions inf
and ninf
return
infinity and negative infinity, respectively.
The encoding of nan
, used to represent the results of undefined
computations such as division by zero, is not unique even for a fixed
precision. Applications should test for undefined results using
nan_p
rather than by comparing a result to a hard coded
nan
(mpfr unary predicates).
