NUMS: (list-of float).

fprandom

[procedure] (fprandom [N]) -> float

Returns float in [0 1).

N: fixnum or float limit.

Returns the maximum & minimum values for the floats N ....

fpdistance

[procedure] (fpdistance X1 Y1 X2 Y2) -> float

Pythagorean distance between the points X1 Y1 and X2 Y2.

fpdistance*

[procedure] (fpdistance* X1 Y1 X2 Y2) -> float

Pythagorean distance, inaccurate but useful for relative comparisons.

fp~=

[procedure] (fp~<= N) -> boolean

fp~>=

[procedure] (fp~>= N) -> boolean

float Inlines

Usage

(import fp-inlines)

N N1 ... X1 ... Y1 ... below are float.

P is the precision in decimal digits, an integer.
