Math Functions

Math functions provide means for performing complex mathematical calculations.

The examples for each function use the following notation:

• Square brackets ([]) indicate arrays.
• Curly braces ({}) indicate groups.
• Arrows (==>) separate inputs and outputs. Inputs are shown on the left side of the arrow. Outputs are shown on the right side of the arrow.

Abs

The Abs function returns the absolute value of the input.

Usage Information

Category	Details
Number of Arguments	1
Mandatory Argument Names and Datatypes	arg: An integer or float. Scalar Support: True Array Support: True Group of Scalars Support: True Group of Arrays Support: True
Optional Argument Names and Datatypes	N/A
Modifiers	N/A
Output Datatype(s)	Integer or float. The output datatype matches the input datatype.

Examples

abs(-9.6) => 9.6
abs(12) => 12
abs(-1E-6) => -1000000

abs([-1,-2,-3]) ==> [1,2,3]

abs({-1,-2,-3}) ==> {1,2,3}

abs({[-1,-2,-3],[-2,3,4],[-3,-4,-5]}) ==> {[1,2,3],[2,3,4],[3,4,5]}

ln

The ln function returns the natural log of the input.
