FLE

Arduino library for Arduino library for float with error data type

Description

This experimental library provides basic math when have a quantity with a certain error margin. E.g. when you approximate PI as 22/7 it is not exact. By doing the math with FLE's one can see how much error adds up in an calculation.

Note: This library is experimental and only usable for educational purposes. There is no active development.

Interface

#include "FLE.h"

Printable

The FLE class implements the public interface of Printable. This allows you to print an FLE in human readable form.

    FLE x(3.14, 0.002);
    x.setDecimals(4);
    Serial.println(x);                 // will print 3.1400 ± 0.0020
    Serial.println(x.setDecimals(2));  // will print 3.14 ± 0.00
    Serial.println(x.value());         // will print 3.14

When the ± char does not print correctly, one could change the font.

Functions

  • FLE(val = 0, err = 0) constructor, with default value and error set to 0.
  • PrintTo(Print& p) printable interface, define a stream to print to.
    Format is "value ± error" see above (plus-minus ± = char(0177))
  • setDecimals(n) will print the FLE both value and error with n decimals.
  • setSeparator(char c) overrules the standard ± char. (0177)
  • value() returns value part.
  • error() return error part.
  • relError() returns relative error, except when value == 0. Then the function returns 0. Q: should this be "NaN" ?
  • high() returns value + error margin (= max real value).
  • low() returns value - error margin (= min real value).

Furthermore the basic math is implemented, "+, -, *, /, +=, -=, *=, /="

Set like functions

  • bool in(FLE y) x.in(y) returns true if x lies completely in y (range is a subset)
  • FLE shared(FLE y) returns the overlapping range.

Weak propositions

Experimental.

  • bool peq(FLE &y) possible equal.
  • bool pne(FLE &y) possible not equal.
  • bool plt(FLE &y) possible less than.
  • bool ple(FLE &y) possible less equal.
  • bool pgt(FLE &y) possible greater than.
  • bool pge(FLE &y) possible greater equal.

Operation

  • negative numbers not tested yet

See example

Future

Must

  • update documentation

Should

Could

  • comparison (investigate, what means equal or less than ..)
  • functions log, exp,
  • functions sqr, sqrt, pow
  • functions sin, cos, tan (+ inverse + hyp)
  • test ad infinitum
  • option to set the ± char for platforms that cannot print it.
  • test negative numbers
  • test large / small numbers.
  • test other separator
  • more demo sketches...
