Diagnosing machine parameters.
Attributes ---------- ibeta : int Radix in which numbers are represented. it : int Number of base-`ibeta` digits in the floating point mantissa M. machep : int Exponent of the smallest (most negative) power of `ibeta` that, added to 1.0, gives something different from 1.0 eps : float Floating-point number ``beta**machep`` (floating point precision) negep : int Exponent of the smallest power of `ibeta` that, subtracted from 1.0, gives something different from 1.0. epsneg : float Floating-point number ``beta**negep``. iexp : int Number of bits in the exponent (including its sign and bias). minexp : int Smallest (most negative) power of `ibeta` consistent with there being no leading zeros in the mantissa. xmin : float Floating point number ``beta**minexp`` (the smallest in
magnitude
usable floating value). maxexp : int Smallest (positive) power of `ibeta` that causes overflow. xmax : float ``(1-epsneg) * beta**maxexp`` (the largest in magnitude
usable floating value). irnd : int In ``range(6)``, information on what kind of rounding is done in addition, and on how underflow is handled. ngrd : int Number of 'guard digits' used when truncating the product of two mantissas to fit the representation. epsilon : float Same as `eps`. tiny : float Same as `xmin`. huge : float Same as `xmax`. precision : float ``- int(-log10(eps))`` resolution : float ``- 10**(-precision)``
Parameters ---------- float_conv : function, optional Function that converts an integer or integer array to a float or float array. Default is `float`. int_conv : function, optional Function that converts a float or float array to an integer or integer array. Default is `int`. float_to_float : function, optional Function that converts a float array to float. Default is `float`. Note that this does not seem to do anything useful in the current implementation. float_to_str : function, optional Function that converts a single float to a string. Default is ``lambda v:'%24.16e' %v``. title : str, optional Title that is printed in the string representation of `MachAr`.
