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!

Matrix multiplication (the operator x) is handled by the module PDL::Primitive.

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 syntax. 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

multiply two piddles

$c = mult $a, $b, 0;     # explicit call with trailing 0

It can be made to work inplace with the $a->inplace syntax. 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.
