Function documentation

template<class T>
Magnum::Math::Dual<T>::Dual() constexpr noexcept

Default constructor.

Both parts are default-constructed.

template<class T>
Magnum::Math::Dual<T>::Dual(const T& real, const T& dual = T()) constexpr noexcept

Construct a dual number from real and dual part.

\[ \hat a = a_0 + \epsilon a_\epsilon \]

template<class T> template<class U>
Magnum::Math::Dual<T>::Dual(const Dual<U>& other) explicit constexpr noexcept

Construct a dual number from another of different type.

Performs only default casting on the values, no rounding or anything else. Example usage:

Math::Dual<Float> floatingPoint{1.3f, 2.7f};
Math::Dual<Byte> integral{floatingPoint}; // {1, 2}

template<class T>
T* Magnum::Math::Dual<T>::data()

Raw data.

Contrary to what Doxygen shows, returns reference to an one-dimensional fixed-size array of two elements, i.e. T(&)[2].

template<class T>
const T* Magnum::Math::Dual<T>::data() const

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

template<class T>
T& Magnum::Math::Dual<T>::real()

Real part ( $ a_0 $ )

template<class T>
const T Magnum::Math::Dual<T>::real() const constexpr

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

template<class T>
T& Magnum::Math::Dual<T>::dual()

Dual part ( $ a_\epsilon $ )

template<class T>
const T Magnum::Math::Dual<T>::dual() const constexpr

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

template<class T>
Dual<T> Magnum::Math::Dual<T>::operator+() const new in Git master

Promotion.

Returns the value as-is.

template<class T>
Dual<T>& Magnum::Math::Dual<T>::operator+=(const Dual<T>& other)
