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.

\$c = $name \$a, \$b, 0;     # explicit call with trailing 0
\$c = \$a $op \$b;           # overloaded call
\$a->inplace->$name(\$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 $optxt 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.

\$c = \$a->$name(\$b,0); # explicit function call
$ovcall
\$a->inplace->$name(\$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 $funcovp function. 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.

\$b = $funcov \$a;
\$a->inplace->$name;  # modify \$a inplace

It can be made to work inplace with the \$a->inplace syntax. This function is used to overload the unary $funcovp operator/function.
