NAME 
runtime/wmlsfloat.pir - WMLScript Float library
DESCRIPTION
This library contains a set of typical arithmetic floating-point functions that are frequently used by applications.
See "WMLScript Standard Libraries Specification", section 8 "Float".
FUNCTIONS
int(value)
DESCRIPTION
Returns the integer part of the given value. If the value is already an integer, the result is the value itself.
PARAMETERS
value = Number
RETURN VALUE
Integer or invalid.
floor(value)
DESCRIPTION
Returns the greatest integer value that is not greater than the given value. If the value is already an integer, the result is the value itself.
PARAMETERS
value = Number
RETURN VALUE
Integer or invalid.
ceil(value)
DESCRIPTION
Returns the smallest integer value that is not less than the given value. If the value is already an integer, the result is the value itself.
PARAMETERS
value = Number
RETURN VALUE
Integer or invalid.
pow(value1, value2)
DESCRIPTION
Returns an implementation-dependent approximation to the result of raising value1 to the power of value2. If value1 is a negative number then value2 must be an integer.
PARAMETERS
value1 = Number
value2 = Number
RETURN VALUE
Floating-point or invalid.
EXCEPTIONS
If value1 == 0 and value2 < 0 then invalid is returned.
If value1 < 0 and value2 is not an integer then invalid is returned.
round(value)
DESCRIPTION
Returns the number value that is closest to the given value and is equal to a mathematical integer. If two integer number values are equally close to the value, the result is the larger number value. If the value is already an integer, the result is the value itself.
PARAMETERS
value = Number
RETURN VALUE
Integer or invalid.
sqrt(value)
DESCRIPTION
Returns an implementation-dependent approximation to the square root of the given value.
PARAMETERS
value = Floating-point
RETURN VALUE
Floating-point or invalid.
EXCEPTIONS
If value is a negative number then invalid is returned.
maxFloat()
DESCRIPTION
Returns the maximum floating-point value supported by [IEEE754] single precision floating-point format.
RETURN VALUE
Floating-point 3.40282347e+38.
minFloat()
DESCRIPTION
Returns the smallest nonzero floating-point value supported by [IEEE754] single precision floating-point format.
RETURN VALUE
Floating-point. Smaller than or equal to the normalised minimum single precision floating-point value: 1.17549435e-38.
