Math Functions

Generate a random value between 1 and the specified limit (inclusive)

Params

Returns

An integer between 1 and range inclusive.

Perform the ‘distance’ formula using floating point math.  The distance formula is typically used to find the distance between two points and is:

dist = sqrt( (x1 - x2)^2 + (y1 - y2)^2 )

The math is done internally using floating point math to minimize roundoff.  The end result is then rounded to the nearest integer.

Params

Returns

The closest integer value after peforming the distance formula.

A floating point implementation of a square root function.  The math is done using floats, but rounded after.  Be warned, that for smaller values, the roundoff can be quite significant.  The value of the sqrt of a negative number in this case is undefined.

Params

Returns

The approximate square root of a value.

Perform a floating point fractional multiplication.  The formula for this is:

value = x * top / bottom

Params

Returns

The value after both multiplying with top and dividing by bottom.  The result is rounded to the closest integer.

Return the value of an integer raised to a given power.  The result is calculating using the formula:

value = x ^ ( top / bottom )

Params

Returns

The value after rounding the exponentiation.

Computes the arc tangent of y/x, determining the quadrant based on signs of the two values.  The result is in degrees, in the -180 ..  180 range.

value = atan( y / x )

Params

Returns

The resulting arc tangent, in degrees (-180 ..  180).

Computes the base-10 logarithm of the provided number.

Params

Returns

The logarithm, rounded down.

Computes the natural (base e) logarithm of the provided number.

Params

Returns

The natural logarithm, rounded down.

Computes the base-Y logarithm of the provided number.

Params

Returns

The logarithm, rounded down.

Computes the greatest common divisor of the provided two numbers.

Params

Returns

The greatest common divisor.
