The following functions are available by default within any AMF model. AMF maps functions from Java static methods to any function, and we make use of common Java APId for this. The numeric operators use Math.java and their descriptions are from the Javadoc, Copyright 2004 Sun Microsystems, Inc. Author: Joseph D. Darcy. We need to add descriptions for most of the other functions and we'll have more functions available with Acore.

| double = ulp(double)
+
+
| The size of an ulp of the argument. An ulp of adouble value is the positive distance between this floating-point value and the double value next larger in magnitude. Note that for non-NaN x,ulp(-x) == ulp(x).Special Cases:
+
  If the argument is NaN, then the result is NaN.
+
  If the argument is positive or negative infinity, then theresult is positive infinity.
+
  If the argument is positive or negative zero, then the result isDouble.MIN_VALUE.
+
  If the argument is &plusmn;Double.MAX_VALUE, thenthe result is equal to 2^971^.param d the floating-point value whose ulp is to be returnedreturn the size of an ulp of the argumentauthor Joseph D. Darcysince 1.5

Core Function Libraries

The following functions are available by default within any AMF model. AMF maps functions from Java static methods to any function, and we make use of common Java APId for this. The numeric operators use Math.java and their descriptions are from the Javadoc, Copyright 2004 Sun Microsystems, Inc. Author: Joseph D. Darcy. We need to add descriptions for most of the other functions and we'll have more functions available with Acore.

We need to make sure that it's cool to use derived JavaDoc before putting it up here..
