# Math functions

Name	Description	Complexity
fraction	Multiplies and divides integers to avoid overflow	1
log	Calculates logarithm of a number with a given base	100
median	Returns the median of a list of integers	20
pow	Raises a number to a given power	100

# fraction

Multiplies integers a, b and divides the result by the integer c to avoid overflow.

Fraction a × b / c should not exceed the maximum value of the integer type 9,223,372,036,854,755,807.

fraction(a: Int, b: Int, c: Int): Int

# Parameters

Parameter	Description
`a`: Int	Integer `a`
`b`: Int	Integer `b`
`c`: Int	Integer `c`

# Example

Lets assume that:

a = 100,000,000,000,

b = 50,000,000,000,000,

c = 2,500,000.

The following formula, with operators * and /, fails due to overflow:

a * b / c #  overflow, because a × b exceeds max integer value

The fraction function with no overflow:

fraction(a, b, c) # Result: 2,000,000,000,000,000,000

# log

Calculates log_ba.

log(value: Int, vp: Int, base: Int, bp: Int, rp: Int, round: UP|DOWN|CEILING|FLOOR|HALFUP|HALFDOWN|HALFEVEN): Int

In Ride, there is no data type with the floating point. That is why, for example, when you need to calculate log_2.716.25 then the number value = 1625, vp = 2 and the base = 27, bp = 1.

More examples:

a	value	vp
16.25	1625	2
5	5	0
5.00	500	2

If the log function returns, for example, 2807, and the parameter of function rp = 3, then the result is 2.807; in the number 2807 the last 3 digits is a fractional part.

# Parameters

Parameter	Description
`value`: Int	Number `a` without decimal point
`vp`: Int	Number of decimals of `a`
`base`: Int	Logarithm base `b` without decimal point
`bp`: Int	Number of decimals of `b`
`rp`: Int	Number of decimals in the resulting value, from 0 to 8 inclusive. Specifies the accuracy of the calculated result.
`round`: UP\|DOWN\|CEILING\|FLOOR\|HALFUP\|HALFDOWN\|HALFEVEN	One of the rounding variables

# Examples

log_2.716.25 = 2.807035421...

log(1625, 2, 27, 1, 2, HALFUP) # Function returns 281, so the result is: 2.81
log(1625, 2, 27, 1, 5, HALFUP) # Function returns 280703542, so the result is: 2.80704

log(0, 0, 2, 0, 0, HALFUP)     # Result: -Infinity

# median

Returns the median of the list. The list can't be empty, otherwise, the function fails.

⚠️ The median function is added in Standard library version 4.

median(arr: List[Int]): Int

# Parameters

Parameter	Description
`arr`: List[Int]	List of integers

# Examples

median([1, 2, 3])         # Returns 2
median([2, 4, 9, 20])     # Returns 6
median([-2, -4, -9, -20]) # Returns -7

# pow

Calculates a^b.

pow(base: Int, bp: Int, exponent: Int, ep: Int, rp: Int, round: UP|DOWN|CEILING|FLOOR|HALFUP|HALFDOWN|HALFEVEN): Int

In Ride, there is no data type with the floating point. That is why, for example, when you need to calculate, 16.25^2.7, then the number base = 1625, bp = 2, and the exponent = 27, ep = 1.

If the pow function returns, for example, 18591057, and the parameter of function rp = 4, then the result is 1859.1057; in the number 18591057 the last 4 digits is a fractional part.

# Parameters

Parameter	Description
`base`: Int	Number `a` without decimal point
`bp`: Int	Number of decimals of `a`
`exponent`: Int	Exponent `b` without decimal point
`ep`: Int	Number of decimals of `b`
`rp`: Int	Number of decimals in the resulting value. Specifies the accuracy of the calculated result. The value of the variable can be 0 to 8 integer inclusive
`round`: UP\|DOWN\|CEILING\|FLOOR\|HALFUP\|HALFDOWN\|HALFEVEN	One of the rounding variables

# Examples

16.25^2.7 = 1859,1057168...

pow(1625, 2, 27, 1, 2, HALFUP) # function returns 185911, so the result is: 1859.11
pow(1625, 2, 27, 1, 5, HALFUP) # function returns 185910572, so, the result is: 1859.10572

# Rounding Variables

Below is the list of built-in rounding variables. Every variable corresponds to the rounding method (opens new window).

The rounding variables are only used as the parameters of functions log and pow.

Name	Description
CEILING	Rounds towards positive infinity
DOWN	Rounds towards zero
FLOOR	Rounds towards negative infinity
HALFDOWN	Rounds towards the nearest integer; if the integers are equidistant - rounds towards zero
HALFEVEN	Rounds towards the nearest integer; if the integers are equidistant - rounds towards the nearest even integer
HALFUP	Rounds towards the nearest integer; if the integers are equidistant - rounds away from zero
UP	Rounding away from zero
