Functions

math.abs()

math.abs(x)

Returns the absolute value of x.

PARAMETERS

x

math.acos()

math.acos(x)

Returns the arc cosine of x (in radians).

PARAMETERS

x

math.asin()

math.asin(x)

Returns the arc sine of x (in radians).

PARAMETERS

x

math.atan()

math.atan(x)

Returns the arc tangent of x (in radians).

PARAMETERS

x

math.atan2()

math.atan2(y,x)

Returns the arc tangent of y/x (in radians), but uses the signs of both parameters to find the quadrant of the result. (It also handles correctly the case of x being zero.)

PARAMETERS

`y`
`x`

math.ceil()

math.ceil(x)

Returns the smallest integer larger than or equal to x.

PARAMETERS

x

math.cos()

math.cos(x)

Returns the cosine of x (assumed to be in radians).

PARAMETERS

x

math.cosh()

math.cosh(x)

Returns the hyperbolic cosine of x.

PARAMETERS

x

math.deg()

math.deg(x)

Returns the angle x (given in radians) in degrees.

PARAMETERS

x

math.exp()

math.exp(x)

Returns the value e^x.

PARAMETERS

x

math.floor()

math.floor(x)

Returns the largest integer smaller than or equal to x.

PARAMETERS

x

math.fmod()

math.fmod(x,y)

Returns the remainder of the division of x by y that rounds the quotient towards zero.

PARAMETERS

`x`
`y`

math.frexp()

math.frexp(x)

Returns m and e such that x = m2^e, e is an integer and the absolute value of m is in the range [0.5, 1) (or zero when x is zero).

PARAMETERS

x

math.ldexp()

math.ldexp(m,e)

Returns m2^e (e should be an integer).

PARAMETERS

`m`
`e`

math.log()

math.log(x)

Returns the natural logarithm of x.

PARAMETERS

x

math.log10()

math.log10(x)

Returns the base-10 logarithm of x.

PARAMETERS

x

math.max()

math.max(x,...)

Returns the maximum value among its arguments.

PARAMETERS

`x`
`...`

math.min()

math.min(x,...)

Returns the minimum value among its arguments.

PARAMETERS

`x`
`...`

math.modf()

math.modf(x)

Returns two numbers, the integral part of x and the fractional part of x.

PARAMETERS

x

math.pow()

math.pow(x,y)

Returns x^y. (You can also use the expression x^y to compute this value.)

PARAMETERS

`x`
`y`

math.rad()

math.rad(x)

Returns the angle x (given in degrees) in radians.

PARAMETERS

x

math.random()

math.random(m,n)

This function is an interface to the simple pseudo-random generator function rand provided by ANSI C. (No guarantees can be given for its statistical properties.) When called without arguments, returns a uniform pseudo-random real number in the range [0,1). When called with an integer number m, math.random returns a uniform pseudo-random integer in the range [1, m]. When called with two integer numbers m and n, math.random returns a uniform pseudo-random integer in the range [m, n].
