abs2f

Compute the squared absolute value of a single-precision floating-point number.

Usage

var abs2f = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/abs2f' );

abs2f( x )

Computes the squared absolute value of a single-precision floating-point number.

var v = abs2f( -1.0 );
// returns 1.0

v = abs2f( 2.0 );
// returns 4.0

v = abs2f( 0.0 );
// returns 0.0

v = abs2f( -0.0 );
// returns 0.0

v = abs2f( NaN );
// returns NaN

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/round' );
var abs2f = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/abs2f' );

var x;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    x = round( randu() * 100.0 ) - 50.0;
    console.log( 'abs2f(%d) = %d', x, abs2f( x ) );
}

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/abs2f.h"

stdlib_base_abs2f( x )

Computes the squared absolute value of a single-precision floating-point number.

float y = stdlib_base_abs2f( -5.0f );
// returns 25.0f

The function accepts the following arguments:

x: [in] float input value.

float stdlib_base_abs2f( const float x );

Examples

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/abs2f.h"
#include <stdio.h>

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

    float y;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        y = stdlib_base_abs2f( x[ i ] );
        printf( "abs2f(%f) = %f\n", x[ i ], y );
    }
}
