: (module Stdlib__Float)
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 .
Since 4.08.0
val abs : float -> float
abs f returns the absolute value of f .
val infinity : float
Positive infinity.
val neg_infinity : float
Negative infinity.
val nan : float
A special floating-point value denoting the result of an undefined op-
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 pi : float
The constant pi.
val max_float : float
The largest positive finite value of type float .
val min_float : float

floating-point number greater than 1.0 .
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
val is_integer : float -> bool
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
*)

val round : float -> float

0.5) rounded away from zero, regardless of the current rounding direc-
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.

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

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) .
