4. The Math library

the math lib provides basic mathematic routines. The library mimics the C runtime library implementation.

4.1. Squirrel API

4.1.1. Global Symbols

abs(x)

returns the absolute value of x as an integer

acos(x)

returns the arccosine of x

asin(x)

returns the arcsine of x

atan(x)

returns the arctangent of x

atan2(x, y)

returns the arctangent of x/y

ceil(x)

returns a float value representing the smallest integer that is greater than or equal to x

cos(x)

returns the cosine of x

exp(x)

returns the exponential value of the float parameter x

fabs(x)

returns the absolute value of x as a float

floor(x)

returns a float value representing the largest integer that is less than or equal to x

log(x)

returns the natural logarithm of x

log10(x)

returns the logarithm base-10 of x

pow(x, y)

returns x raised to the power of y

rand()

returns a pseudorandom integer in the range 0 to RAND_MAX

sin(x)

rreturns the sine of x

sqrt(x)

returns the square root of x

srand(seed)

sets the starting point for generating a series of pseudorandom integers

tan(x)

returns the tangent of x

min(x, y, [z, ][w, ]...)

returns minimal value of all arguments

max(x, y, [z, ][w, ]...)

returns maximal value of all arguments

clamp(x, min_val, max_val)

returns value limited by provided min-max range

RAND_MAX

the maximum value that can be returned by the rand() function

PI

The numeric constant pi (3.141592) is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter

4.2. C API

SQRESULT sqstd_register_mathlib(HSQUIRRELVM v)
Parameters
  • v (HSQUIRRELVM) – the target VM

Returns

an SQRESULT

Remarks

The function aspects a table on top of the stack where to register the global library functions.

initializes and register the math library in the given VM.
