bc.d: Broadcasted Decimal Numeric Operations

In broadcast: Broadcasted Array Operations Like 'NumPy'

Broadcasted Decimal Numeric Operations

Description

The bc.d() method performs broadcasted decimal numeric operations on 2 numeric or logical arrays.

Usage

bc.d(x, y, op, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'ANY'
bc.d(x, y, op, tol = sqrt(.Machine$double.eps))

Arguments

x, y	conformable vectors/arrays of type logical or numeric.
op	a single string, giving the operator. Supported arithmetic operators: +, -, *, /, ^, pmin, pmax. Supported relational operators: ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=, d==, d!=, d<, d>, d<=, d>=.
...	further arguments passed to or from methods.
tol	a single number between 0 and 0.1, giving the machine tolerance to use for the relational operators. Only relevant for the following operators: d==, d!=, d<, d>, d<=, d>= See the %d==%, %d!=%, %d<%, %d>%, %d<=%, %d>=% operators from the 'tinycodet' package for details.

Value

For arithmetic operators:
A numeric array as a result of the broadcasted decimal arithmetic operation.

For relational operators:
A logical array as a result of the broadcasted decimal relational comparison.

Examples

x.dim <- c(4:2)
x.len <- prod(x.dim)
x.data <- sample(c(NA, 1.1:1000.1), x.len, TRUE)
x <- array(x.data, x.dim)
y <- array(1:50, c(4,1,1))

bc.d(x, y, "+")
bc.d(x, y, "-")
bc.d(x, y, "*")
bc.d(x, y, "/")
bc.d(x, y, "^")

bc.d(x, y, "==")
bc.d(x, y, "!=")
bc.d(x, y, "<")
bc.d(x, y, ">")
bc.d(x, y, "<=")
bc.d(x, y, ">=")
