accumulator

accumulator: (x?: undefined | number) => number | null

If provided a value, returns an updated product; otherwise, returns the current product.

Notes

  • If provided NaN or a value which, when used in computations, results in NaN, the accumulated value is NaN for all future invocations.
  • For long running accumulations or accumulations of large numbers, care should be taken to prevent overflow. Note, however, that overflow/underflow may be transient, as the accumulator does not use a double-precision floating-point number to store an accumulated product. Instead, the accumulator splits an accumulated product into a normalized fraction and exponent and updates each component separately. Doing so guards against a loss in precision.

  • Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes a product.

    Returns accumulator

    accumulator function

    Example

    var accumulator = incrprod();
    
    var v = accumulator();
    // returns null
    
    v = accumulator( 2.0 );
    // returns 2.0
    
    v = accumulator( 3.0 );
    // returns 6.0
    
    v = accumulator( 4.0 );
    // returns 24.0
    
    v = accumulator();
    // returns 24.0
