Float

Functions for interacting with float.

equal

RESCRIPT
let equal: (float, float) => bool

compare

RESCRIPT
let compare: (float, float) => Core__Ordering.t

isNaN

RESCRIPT
let isNaN: float => bool

isNaN(v) tests if the given v is NaN. See NaN on MDN.

Examples

RESCRIPT
Float.isNaN(3.0) // false
Float.isNaN(Float.Constants.nan) // true

isFinite

RESCRIPT
let isFinite: float => bool

isFinite(v) tests if the given v is finite. See isFinite on MDN.

Examples

RESCRIPT

Float.isFinite(Float.Constants.nan) // false
Float.isFinite(Float.Constants.positiveInfinity) // false

parseFloat

RESCRIPT
let parseFloat: string => float

parseFloat(v) parse the given v and returns a float. Leading whitespace in v is ignored. Returns NaN if v can't be parsed. Use [fromString] to ensure it returns a valid float and not NaN. See parseFloat on MDN.

Examples

RESCRIPT

Float.parseFloat("error")->Float.isNaN // true

parseInt

RESCRIPT
let parseInt: ('a, ~radix: int=?) => float

parseInt(v, ~radix=?) parse the given v and returns a float. Leading whitespace in this argument vis ignored. radix specifies the radix base to use for the formatted number. The value must be in the range [2, 36] (inclusive). Returns NaN if v can't be parsed and radix is smaller than 2 or bigger than 36. See parseInt on MDN.

Examples

RESCRIPT
Float.parseInt("1.0") // 1.0
Float.parseInt("  3.14   ") // 3.0
Float.parseInt(3) // 3.0
Float.parseInt("3.14some non-digit characters") // 3.0
Float.parseInt("error")->Float.isNaN // true
Float.parseInt("10.0", ~radix=2) // 2.0
Float.parseInt("15 * 3", ~radix=10) // 15.0
