Ramp Function
Evaluate the ramp function.
The ramp function is defined as
or, alternatively, in terms of the max
function
Usage
var ramp = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/ramp' );
ramp( x )
Evaluates the ramp function.
var v = ramp( 3.14 );
// returns 3.14
v = ramp( -3.14 );
// returns 0.0
v = ramp( NaN );
// returns NaN
Examples
var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array/base/linspace' );
var ramp = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/ramp' );
var x = linspace( -10.0, 10.0, 101 );
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
console.log( 'R(%d) = %d', x[ i ], ramp( x[ i ] ) );
}
C APIs
Usage
#include "stdlib/math/base/special/ramp.h"
stdlib_base_ramp( x )
Evaluates the ramp function.
double y = stdlib_base_ramp( 3.0 );
// returns 3.0
The function accepts the following arguments:
- x:
[in] double
input value.
double stdlib_base_ramp( const double x );
Examples
#include "stdlib/math/base/special/ramp.h"
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
double x[] = { 3.14, -3.14, 0.0, 0.0/0.0 };
double y;
int i;
for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
y = stdlib_base_ramp( x[ i ] );
printf( "R(%lf) = %lf\n", x[ i ], y );
}
}
