Glen Whitney 7ec9686019 feat: Homogeneous typed Tuple class using templates 2022-08-05 05:44:28 -07:00
Glen Whitney b0fb004224 feat: Template types for Pocomath
Tuple<T> and a couple of functions on it are now working according to
  the target spec. As desired, no instantiations of a template type
  are made until some function that takes an instantiation is called.

Glen Whitney a743337134 refactor: fill in stub for instantiating template type 2022-08-03 19:57:11 -07:00
Glen Whitney e82bcf5a9c refactor: Include more code that should work for instantiating type templates
In particular, there is now an empty stub for the function that actually
  installs the instantiations into the PocomathInstance

Glen Whitney 27bf23db54 feat(Tuple): Stub for a template type
This adds the target initial definition of a homogeneous Tuple<T>
  type, and just enough processing that the type can be defined and
  non-template methods that deal with the generic base type Tuple can
  be called. Still has no actual template instantiation.

Glen Whitney 5dab7d64e7 fix(templates): Enhance the catchall to call the correct specialization
Also enhances type inference in preparation for template types.

Glen Whitney 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.

Glen Whitney 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.

Glen Whitney c429c19dfe feat: Implement subtypes
This should eventually be moved into typed-function itself, but for
  now it can be implemented on top of the existing typed-function.

  Uses subtypes to define (and error-check) gcd and lcm, which are only
  defined for integer arguments.

  Resolves #36.

Glen Whitney 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.

Glen Whitney 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.

Glen Whitney 91ec20edd8 feat: Implement signature-specifc reference
Also implements a config object that upon change, lazily invalidates
  all operations that access it.

  Also allows references to signatures with nonexistent types (which
  typed-function does not); they come back as undefined.

  Uses these features to implement sqrt for number and complex.

  Resolves #7.

Glen Whitney 9fb3aa2959 feat: Switch to function-based specification of dependencies
