## 4.3 Floats

The module `Float` contains procedures operating on floating point numbers.

`IsFloat`

  > `{Float.is` `+X``` `?B``}`

  tests whether `X` is a float.

`/`

  > `{Float.'/'` `+F1``` `+F2``` `?F3``}`

  returns `F1` divided by `F2`.

`Exp`

  > `{Float.exp` `+F1``` `?F2``}`

  returns `F1` to the power of e.

`Log`

  > `{Float.log` `+F1``` `?F2``}`

  returns the logarithm to the base e of `F1`.

`Sqrt`

  > `{Float.sqrt` `+F1``` `?F2``}`

  returns the square root of `F1`.

`Ceil`

  > `{Float.ceil` `+F1``` `?F2``}`

  returns the ceiling of `F1` (rounding towards positive infinity).

`Floor`

  > `{Float.floor` `+F1``` `?F2``}`

  returns the floor of `F1` (rounding towards negative infinity).

`Round`

  > `{Float.round` `+F1``` `?F2``}`

  returns the integral value closest to `F1`. If there are two candidates, `F1` is rounded to the closest even integral value, e. g., `{Float.round 1.5}` and `{Float.round 2.5}` both return `2.0`.

`Sin`

  > `{Float.sin` `+F1``` `?F2``}`

  returns the sine of `F1`.

`Cos`

  > `{Float.cos` `+F1``` `?F2``}`

  returns the cosine of `F1`.

`Tan`

  > `{Float.tan` `+F1``` `?F2``}`

  returns the tangent of `F1`.

`Asin`

  > `{Float.asin` `+F1``` `?F2``}`

  returns the arc sine of `F1`.

`Acos`

  > `{Float.acos` `+F1``` `?F2``}`

  returns the arc cosine of `F1`.

`Atan`

  > `{Float.atan` `+F1``` `?F2``}`

  returns the arc tangent of `F1`.

`Atan2`

  > `{Float.atan2` `+F1``` `+F2``` `?F3``}`

  returns the principal value of the arc tangent of `F1``/` `F2`, using the signs of both arguments to determine the quadrant of the return value. An error exception may (but needs not) be raised if both arguments are zero.

`Float.sinh`

  > `{Float.sinh` `+F1``` `?F2``}`

  returns the hyperbolic sine of `F1`.

`Float.cosh`

  > `{Float.cosh` `+F1``` `?F2``}`

  returns the hyperbolic cosine of `F1`.

`Float.tanh`

  > `{Float.tanh` `+F1``` `?F2``}`

  returns the hyperbolic tangent of `F1`.

`Float.asinh`

  > `{Float.asinh` `+F1``` `?F2``}`

  returns the inverse hyperbolic sine of `F1`.

`Float.acosh`

  > `{Float.acosh` `+F1``` `?F2``}`

  returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine of `F1`.

`Float.atanh`

  > `{Float.atanh` `+F1``` `?F2``}`

  returns the inverse hyperbolic tangent of `F1`.

`FloatToInt`

  > `{Float.toInt` `+F``` `?I``}`

  returns the integer closest to float `F`. If there are two candidates, `F` is rounded to the closest even integer, e. g., `{FloatToInt 1.5}` and `{FloatToInt 2.5}` both return `2`.

`FloatToString`

  > `{Float.toString` `+F``` `?S``}`

  returns the string describing the float `F` in Oz concrete syntax.
