Data.Fixed

Description

This module defines a "Fixed" type for fixed-precision arithmetic. The parameter to Fixed is any type that's an instance of HasResolution. HasResolution has a single method that gives the resolution of the Fixed type.

This module also contains generalisations of div, mod, and divmod to work with any Real instance.

Synopsis

Documentation

div' :: (Real a, Integral b) => a -> a -> b

generalisation of div to any instance of Real

mod' :: Real a => a -> a -> a

generalisation of mod to any instance of Real

divMod' :: (Real a, Integral b) => a -> a -> (b, a)

generalisation of divMod to any instance of Real

data Fixed a

The type parameter should be an instance of HasResolution.

showFixed :: HasResolution a => Bool -> Fixed a -> String

First arg is whether to chop off trailing zeros

data E0

type Uni = Fixed E0

resolution of 1, this works the same as Integer

data E1

type Deci = Fixed E1

resolution of 10^-1 = .1

data E2

type Centi = Fixed E2

resolution of 10^-2 = .01, useful for many monetary currencies

data E3

type Milli = Fixed E3

resolution of 10^-3 = .001

data E6

type Micro = Fixed E6

resolution of 10^-6 = .000001

data E9

type Nano = Fixed E9

resolution of 10^-9 = .000000001

data E12

type Pico = Fixed E12

resolution of 10^-12 = .000000000001
