About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

floor10

Round a numeric value to the nearest power of 10 toward negative infinity.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-floor10

Usage

var floor10 = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor10' );

floor10( x )

Rounds a numeric value to the nearest power of 10 toward negative infinity.

var v = floor10( -4.2 );
// returns -10.0

v = floor10( -4.5 );
// returns -10.0

v = floor10( -4.6 );
// returns -10.0

v = floor10( 9.99999 );
// returns 1.0

v = floor10( 9.5 );
// returns 1.0

v = floor10( 13.0 );
// returns 10.0

v = floor10( -13.0 );
// returns -100.0

v = floor10( 0.0 );
// returns 0.0

v = floor10( -0.0 );
// returns -0.0

v = floor10( Infinity );
// returns Infinity

v = floor10( -Infinity );
// returns -Infinity

v = floor10( NaN );
// returns NaN

Notes

• The function may not return accurate results for subnormals due to a general loss in precision.

  var v = floor10( 1.0e-323 ); // should return 1.0e-323
  // returns 0.0

Examples

var uniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-uniform' );
var logEachMap = require( '@stdlib/console-log-each-map' );
var floor10 = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor10' );

var opts = {
    'dtype': 'float64'
};
var x = uniform( 100, -50.0, 50.0, opts );

logEachMap( 'x: %0.4f. Rounded: %d.', x, floor10 );

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/floor10.h"

stdlib_base_floor10( x )

Rounds a numeric value to the nearest power of 10 toward negative infinity.

double y = stdlib_base_floor10( -4.2 );
// returns -10.0

The function accepts the following arguments:

• x: [in] double input value.

double stdlib_base_floor10( const double x );

Examples

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/floor10.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void ) {
    const double x[] = { 3.14, -3.14, 0.0, 9.0 / 0.0 };

    double y;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        y = stdlib_base_floor10( x[ i ] );
        printf( "floor10(%lf) = %lf\n", x[ i ], y );
    }
}
