Module Base.Sign

A type for representing the sign of a numeric value.

type t =
| Neg
| Zero
| Pos
val all : t list

This provides to_string/of_string, sexp conversion, Map, Hashtbl, etc.

val (>=) : t -> t -> bool
val (<=) : t -> t -> bool
val (=) : t -> t -> bool
val (>) : t -> t -> bool
val (<) : t -> t -> bool
val (<>) : t -> t -> bool
val equal : t -> t -> bool
val compare : t -> t -> int

compare t1 t2 returns 0 if t1 is equal to t2, a negative integer if t1 is less than t2, and a positive integer if t1 is greater than t2.

val min : t -> t -> t
val max : t -> t -> t
val ascending : t -> t -> int

ascending is identical to compare. descending x y = ascending y x. These are intended to be mnemonic when used like List.sort ~compare:ascending and List.sort ~cmp:descending, since they cause the list to be sorted in ascending or descending order, respectively.

val descending : t -> t -> int
val between : t -> low:t -> high:t -> bool

between t ~low ~high means low <= t <= high

val clamp_exn : t -> min:t -> max:t -> t

clamp_exn t ~min ~max returns t', the closest value to t such that between t' ~low:min ~high:max is true.

Raises if not (min <= max).

val clamp : t -> min:t -> max:t -> t Or_error.t

include Pretty_printer.S with type t := t
val pp : Formatter.t -> t -> unit
val of_int : int -> t
val to_int : t -> int

Map Neg/Zero/Pos to -1/0/1 respectively.

val to_float : t -> float

Map Neg/Zero/Pos to -1./0./1. respectively. (There is no of_float here, but see Float.sign_exn.)

val flip : t -> t

Map Neg/Zero/Pos to Pos/Zero/Neg respectively.

val (*) : t -> t -> t

Neg * Neg = Pos, etc.
