880efac15b feat(gcd,lcm): Allow arbitrarily many arguments
And add an 'associate' predicate for two complex numbers to check the results
2022-08-02 10:32:06 -07:00
8418817f9f feat(install): Allow plain functions 2022-08-02 00:47:37 -07:00
814f660000 feat(Chain): add computation pipelines like mathjs
Also adds a `mean()` operation so there will be at least one operation
  that takes only a rest parameter, to exercise the ban on splitting
  such a parameter between the stored value and new arguments.
  Adds various tests of chains.

  Resolves #32.

fe54bc6004 feat: Template operations (#41)
Relational functions are added using templates, and existing generic functions are made more strict with them. Also a new built-in typeOf function is added, that automatically updates itself.

Resolves #34.

81127b8a9b test: Check for undefined types, as a means to detect typos in type names 2022-07-29 19:43:24 -07:00
d9d7af961f refactor: Simpler merging mechanism
Merging of Pocomath modules is eased by allowing one PocomathInstance to
  be merged into another. That allows types, for example, to be exported
  as a PocomathInstance (so there is no need for a special identifier
  convention for types; they can be directly added with an installType
  method). Also, larger modules can just be exported as an instance, since
  there is more flexibility and more checking in merging PocomathInstances
  than raw modules.

f68c7bd1fb fix(Types): Move distinct types into distinct identifiers
This allows types to be collected; prior to this commit they
   were conflicting from different modules.

   Uses this fix to extend sqrt to bigint, with the convention
   that it is undefined for non-perfect squares when 'predictable'
   is false and is the "best" approximation to the square root when
   'predictable' is true. Furthermore, for negative bigints, you might
   get a Gaussian integer when predictable is false; or you will just get
   your argument back when 'predictable' is true because what other
   bigint could you give back for a negative bigint?

   Also had to modify tests on the sign in sqrt(Complex) and add functions
   'zero' and 'one' to get types to match, as expected in #27.

   Adds numerous tests.

9fb3aa2959 feat: Switch to function-based specification of dependencies
Allows dependencies to be economically expressed and used.
  For example, see the new definition of subtract.
  Credit for the basic idea goes to James Drew, see

  Resolves #21.

0069597a76 fix: Separate typed instance for each PocomathInstance (#15)
Also starts each PocomathInstance with no types at all, and uses the new
  situation to eliminate the need for a Complex "base case".

84a8b9d5c4 feat: Allow self-reference in implementations (#4)
This PR also uses such self-reference to define negate and add
  for Complex numbers in a way that is independent of component types.

  Also adds a bigint type and verifies that pocomath will then handle
  Gaussian integers "for free".

  Ensures that if one function is invalidated, then any that depend on it will be.

b82336e590 feat: Add complex numbers
No negation (and therefore no subtraction) since that needs self-reference.

b59a8c2ca9 feat: Allow nonrecursive whole-function dependencies (#2)
And implement negate on numbers, and use dependencies to define subtract.
