       val zero : float

       The floating point 0.

       Since 4.08.0

       val one : float

       The floating-point 1.

       Since 4.08.0

       val minus_one : float

       The floating-point -1.

       Since 4.08.0

       val neg : float -> float

       Unary negation.

       val add : float -> float -> float

       Floating-point addition.

       val sub : float -> float -> float

       Floating-point subtraction.

       val mul : float -> float -> float

       Floating-point multiplication.

       val div : float -> float -> float

       Floating-point division.

       val fma : float -> float -> float -> float

       fma x y z returns x * y + z , with a best effort for computing this ex-
       pression with a single rounding,  using  either  hardware  instructions
       (providing full IEEE compliance) or a software emulation.

       On  64-bit  Cygwin,  64-bit  mingw-w64  and MSVC 2017 and earlier, this
       function may be emulated owing to known bugs on  limitations  on  these
       platforms.   Note:  since software emulation of the fma is costly, make
       sure that you are using hardware fma support if performance matters.

       Since 4.08.0

       val rem : float -> float -> float

       rem a b returns the remainder of a with respect to b  .   The  returned
       value  is  a -. n *. b , where n is the quotient a /. b rounded towards
       zero to an integer.

       val succ : float -> float

       succ x returns the floating point number right after x i.e., the small-
       est floating-point number greater than x .  See also Float.next_after .

       Since 4.08.0

       val pred : float -> float

       pred  x  returns  the  floating-point  number  right before x i.e., the
       greatest  floating-point  number   smaller   than   x   .    See   also
       Float.next_after .

       val nan : float

       eration such as 0.0 /. 0.0 .  Stands for 'not a  number'.   Any  float-
       ing-point operation with nan as argument returns nan as result.  As for
       floating-point comparisons, = , < , <= , > and >= return false  and  <>
       returns true if one or both of their arguments is nan .

       val is_finite : float -> bool

       is_finite x is true if and only if x is finite i.e., not  infinite  and
       not Float.nan .

       Since 4.08.0

       val is_infinite : float -> bool

       is_infinite   x  is  true  if  and  only  if  x  is  Float.infinity  or
       Float.neg_infinity .

       Since 4.08.0

       val is_nan : float -> bool

       is_nan x is true if and only if x is not a number (see Float.nan ).

       Since 4.08.0

       is_integer x is true if and only if x is an integer.

       Since 4.08.0

       val of_int : int -> float

       Convert an integer to floating-point.

       val to_int : float -> int

       Truncate the given floating-point number to an integer.  The result  is
       unspecified if the argument is nan or falls outside the range of repre-
       sentable integers.

       val of_string : string -> float

       Convert the given string to a float.  The string is read in decimal (by
       default)  or in hexadecimal (marked by 0x or 0X ).  The format of deci-
       mal floating-point numbers is [-] dd.ddd  (e|E)  [+|-]  dd  ,  where  d
       stands  for  a decimal digit.  The format of hexadecimal floating-point
       numbers is [-] 0(x|X) hh.hhh (p|P) [+|-] dd , where  h  stands  for  an
       hexadecimal  digit  and d for a decimal digit.  In both cases, at least
       one of the integer and fractional parts must  be  given;  the  exponent
       part  is optional.  The _ (underscore) character can appear anywhere in
       the string and is ignored.  Depending on the execution platforms, other
       representations  of  floating-point numbers can be accepted, but should
       not be relied upon.

       Raises Failure if the given string is not a valid representation  of  a
       float.

       val of_string_opt : string -> float option

       Same as of_string , but returns None instead of raising.

       val to_string : float -> string

       Return the string representation of a floating-point number.

       type fpclass = fpclass =
        | FP_normal  (* Normal number, none of the below
        *)
        | FP_subnormal  (* Number very close to 0.0, has reduced precision
        *)
        | FP_zero  (* Number is 0.0 or -0.0
        *)
        | FP_infinite  (* Number is positive or negative infinity
        *)
        | FP_nan  (* Not a number: result of an undefined operation
        *)

       tion.  If x is an integer, +0.  , -0.  , nan , or infinite, x itself is
       returned.

       On 64-bit mingw-w64, this function may be emulated owing to  a  bug  in
       the C runtime library (CRT) on this platform.

       Since 4.08.0

       val ceil : float -> float

       Round  above  to  an  integer  value.  ceil f returns the least integer
       value greater than or equal to f .  The result is returned as a float.

       val floor : float -> float

       Round below to an integer value.  floor f returns the greatest  integer
       value less than or equal to f .  The result is returned as a float.

       val next_after : float -> float -> float

       next_after x y returns the next representable floating-point value fol-
       lowing x in the direction of y .   More  precisely,  if  y  is  greater
       (resp.  less)  than  x , it returns the smallest (resp. largest) repre-
       sentable number greater (resp. less) than x .  If  x  equals  y  ,  the
       function  returns y .  If x or y is nan , a nan is returned.  Note that
       next_after max_float infinity = infinity and that next_after 0.  infin-
       ity is the smallest denormalized positive number.  If x is the smallest
       denormalized positive number, next_after x 0. = 0.

       Since 4.08.0

       val copy_sign : float -> float -> float

       copy_sign x y returns a float whose absolute value is  that  of  x  and
       whose  sign  is that of y .  If x is nan , returns nan .  If y is nan ,
       returns either x or -. x , but it is not specified which.

       val sign_bit : float -> bool

       sign_bit x is true if and only if the sign bit of x is set.  For  exam-
       ple  sign_bit  1.   and signbit 0.  are false while sign_bit (-1.)  and
       sign_bit (-0.)  are true .

       Since 4.08.0

       val frexp : float -> float * int

       frexp f returns the pair of the significant and the  exponent  of  f  .
       When  f is zero, the significant x and the exponent n of f are equal to
       zero.  When f is non-zero, they are defined by f = x *. 2 ** n and  0.5
       <= x < 1.0 .

       val ldexp : float -> int -> float

       ldexp x n returns x *. 2 ** n .

       val modf : float -> float * float

       modf f returns the pair of the fractional and integral part of f .

       type t = float

       An alias for the type of floating-point numbers.

       val compare : t -> t -> int

       compare  x  y returns 0 if x is equal to y , a negative integer if x is
       less than y , and a positive integer if x is greater than y .   compare
       treats  nan  as  equal  to  itself and less than any other float value.
       This treatment of nan ensures that compare defines a total ordering re-
       lation.

       val equal : t -> t -> bool

       The   equal   function   for  floating-point  numbers,  compared  using
       Float.compare .

       val min : t -> t -> t

       min x y returns the minimum of x and y .  It returns nan when x or y is
       nan .  Moreover min (-0.) (+0.) = -0.

       Since 4.08.0

       val max : float -> float -> float

       max x y returns the maximum of x and y .  It returns nan when x or y is
       nan .  Moreover max (-0.) (+0.) = +0.

       Since 4.08.0

       val min_max : float -> float -> float * float

       min_max x y is (min x y, max x y) , just more efficient.

       Since 4.08.0

       val min_num : t -> t -> t

       min_num x y returns the minimum of x and y treating nan as missing val-
       ues.   If  both  x  and  y are nan , nan is returned.  Moreover min_num
       (-0.) (+0.) = -0.

       Since 4.08.0

       val max_num : t -> t -> t

       max_num x y returns the maximum of x and y treating nan as missing val-
       ues.   If both x and y are nan nan is returned.  Moreover max_num (-0.)
       (+0.) = +0.

       Since 4.08.0

       val min_max_num : float -> float -> float * float

       min_max_num x y is (min_num x y, max_num x y) ,  just  more  efficient.
       Note  that in particular min_max_num x nan = (x, x) and min_max_num nan
       y = (y, y) .

       Since 4.08.0

       val hash : t -> int

       The hash function for floating-point numbers.

       module Array : sig end
