README
Quality Assurance
See the test contract.
The above badges represent the current master branch. As a rule, I don't push to GitHub unless tests, coverage and usability are acceptable. This may not be true for short periods of time; on holiday, need code for some other downstream project etc. If you need stable code, use a tagged version. Read 'Further Documentation' and 'Installation'.
Current development branch is feature/gmp_support. Want to help? - that's where it is.
Please note that developer support for PHP5.4 & 5.5 was withdrawn at version 3.0.0 of this library.
If you need support for PHP 5.4 or 5.5, please use a version >=2,<3
What?
Provides arithmetic calculation support for chippyash/strong-type numeric types, (PHP native types only at this point.)
Types supported
- FloatType
- ComplexType
- IntType
- NaturalIntType
- WholeIntType
- RationalType
- Conversion of PHP int and float to IntType and FloatType respectively
Arithmetic support provided
- addition
- subtraction
- multiplication
- division
- reciprocal
- equality comparison
The library is released under the GNU GPL V3 or later license
Why?
Complements the strong-type library and a precursor to the forthcoming chippyash/math-matrix library which builds on the chippyash/matrix library.
When
The current library covers arithmetic operations using PHP native math support. Future versions will add support for the popular math extensions (gmp, bcmath etc).
If you want more, either suggest it, or better still, fork it and provide a pull request.

How
Coding Basics
Using the supplied calculator or comparator will set the underlying Strong Type numeric base to PHP Native. This library does not yet support GMP number types.
Calculations
Using the calculator is simplicity itself:
use Chippyash\Math\Type\Calculator; $calc = new Calculator()
Then you simply fire calculation requests at it:
use Chippyash\Type\TypeFactory; $r = TypeFactory::create('rational', 2, 3); $i = TypeFactory::create('int', 23); $w = TypeFactory::create('whole', 3); $n = TypeFactory::create('natural', 56); $f = TypeFactory::create('float', 19.6); $c1 = TypeFactory::create('complex', '2+3i'); $c2 = TypeFactory::create('complex', '-6+4i'); echo $calc->add($r, $w) . PHP_EOL; echo $calc->add($c1, $c2) . PHP_EOL; echo $calc->add($i, $f) . PHP_EOL; echo $calc->sub($c1, $c2) . PHP_EOL; echo $calc->sub($n, $w) . PHP_EOL; echo $calc->add($r, $w) . PHP_EOL; echo $calc->add($r, $w) . PHP_EOL; echo $calc->add($r, $w) . PHP_EOL;
The Calculator supports the following methods (all operands are NumericTypeInterface, or PHP int or PHP float):
- add($a, $b) : NumericTypeInterface
- sub($a, $b) : NumericTypeInterface
- mul($a, $b : NumericTypeInterface
- div($a, $b) : NumericTypeInterface
- reciprocal($a) : NumericTypeInterface
- pow($base, $exp) : NumericTypeInterface
- sqrt($a) : NumericTypeInterface
The Calculator will arbitrate between types and return the lowest possible type based on the operand types. The order of precedence is
- ComplexType
- RationalType
- FloatType
- IntType (including WholeIntType and NaturalIntType)
Be careful with complex types, they can only be converted down if they are real, i.e. the imaginary part == 0
The sqrt() method is provided as a convenience, you can use pow(n, 1/e) e.g. pow(4, 1/2) == sqrt(4)
For a demonstration of all the available operations between types and their resultant types run the examples/example-calc.php file
Comparisons
To compare two numeric types:
use Chippyash\Math\Type\Comparator; use Chippyash\Type\TypeFactory; $r = TypeFactory::create('rational', 2, 3); $i = TypeFactory::create('int', 23); $w = TypeFactory::create('whole', 3); $n = TypeFactory::create('natural', 56); $f = TypeFactory::create('float', 19.6); $c1 = TypeFactory::create('complex', '2+3i'); $c2 = TypeFactory::create('complex', '-6+4i'); $comp = new Comparator(); if ($comp->compare($r, $i) == 0) {...} if ($comp->compare($c1, $c2) == -1) {...} if ($comp->compare($w, $n) == 1) {...}
The Comparator::compare($a, $b) method takes two NumericTypeInterface types and returns
a == b: 0
a < b : -1
a > b : 1
It has convenience methods (all operands are NumericTypeInterface):
- eq($a, $b) : boolean: $a == $b
- neq($a, $b) : boolean: $a != $b
- lt($a, $b) : boolean: $a < $b
- lte($a, $b) : boolean: $a <= $b
- gt($a, $b) : boolean: $a > $b
- gte($a, $b) : boolean: $a >= $b
if ($comp->gt($w, $f) { ... }
