Miscellaneous Functions

void mpf_ceil (mpf_t rop, mpf_t op) Function
void mpf_floor (mpf_t rop, mpf_t op) Function
void mpf_trunc (mpf_t rop, mpf_t op) Function
Set rop to op rounded to an integer. mpf_ceil rounds to the next higher integer, mpf_floor to the next lower, and mpf_trunc to the integer towards zero.

int mpf_integer_p (mpf_t op) Function
Return non-zero if op is an integer.

int mpf_fits_ulong_p (mpf_t op) Function
int mpf_fits_slong_p (mpf_t op) Function
int mpf_fits_uint_p (mpf_t op) Function
int mpf_fits_sint_p (mpf_t op) Function
int mpf_fits_ushort_p (mpf_t op) Function
int mpf_fits_sshort_p (mpf_t op) Function
Return non-zero if op would fit in the respective C data type, when truncated to an integer.

void mpf_urandomb (mpf_t rop, gmp_randstate_t state, unsigned long int nbits) Function
Generate a uniformly distributed random float in rop, such that 0 <= rop < 1, with nbits significant bits in the mantissa.

The variable state must be initialized by calling one of the gmp_randinit functions (Random State Initialization) before invoking this function.

void mpf_random2 (mpf_t rop, mp_size_t max_size, mp_exp_t exp) Function
Generate a random float of at most max_size limbs, with long strings of zeros and ones in the binary representation. The exponent of the number is in the interval -exp to exp. This function is useful for testing functions and algorithms, since this kind of random numbers have proven to be more likely to trigger corner-case bugs. Negative random numbers are generated when max_size is negative.
