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.

SYNOPSIS

FUNCTIONS

plus

Signature: (a(); b(); [o]c(); int swap)

add two piddles

$c = plus $x, $y, 0;     # explicit call with trailing 0
$c = $x + $y;           # overloaded call
$x->inplace->plus($y,0);  # modify $x inplace

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

assgn

Signature: (a(); [o]b())

Plain numerical assignment. This is used to implement the ".=" operator

If a is a child piddle (e.g., the result of a slice) and bad values are generated in b, the bad value flag is set in b, but it is NOT automatically propagated back to the parent of a. The following idiom ensures that the badflag is propagated back to the parent of a:

$pdl->slice(":,(1)") .= PDL::Bad_aware_func();
$pdl->badflag(1);
$pdl->check_badflag();

This is unnecessary if $pdl->badflag is known to be 1 before the slice is performed.

See http://pdl.perl.org/PDLdocs/BadValues.html#dataflow_of_the_badflag for details.
