Ops(s) User Contributed Perl Documentation Ops(s) NAME PDL::Ops - Fundamental mathematical operators DESCRIPTION This module provides the functions used by PDL to overload the basic mathematical operators ("+ - / *" etc.) and functions ("sin sqrt" etc.) It also includes the function "log10", which should be a perl function so that we can overload it! SYNOPSIS none FUNCTIONS plus Signature: (a(); b(); [o]c(); int swap) add two piddles $c = plus $a, $b, 0; # explicit call with trailing 0 $c = $a + $b; # overloaded call $a->inplace->plus($b,0); # modify $a inplace It can be made to work inplace with the "$a->inplace" syn- tax. This function is used to overload the binary "+" operator. Note that when calling this function explicitly you need to supply a third argument that should generally be zero (see first example). This restriction is expected to go away in future releases. mult Signature: (a(); b(); [o]c(); int swap) multiply two piddles $c = mult $a, $b, 0; # explicit call with trailing 0 $c = $a * $b; # overloaded call $a->inplace->mult($b,0); # modify $a inplace It can be made to work inplace with the "$a->inplace" syn- tax. This function is used to overload the binary "*" operator. Note that when calling this function explicitly you need to supply a third argument that should generally be zero (see first example). This restriction is expected to go away in future releases. minus Signature: (a(); b(); [o]c(); int swap) subtract two piddles $c = minus $a, $b, 0; # explicit call with trailing 0 $c = $a - $b; # overloaded call $a->inplace->minus($b,0); # modify $a inplace It can be made to work inplace with the "$a->inplace" syn- tax.
