NAME meq - test for equality modulo a specifed number SYNOPSIS meq(x, y, md) TYPES x real y real md real return 0 or 1 DESCRIPTION Returns 1 if and only if for some integer n, x - y = n * md, i.e. x is congruent to y modulo md. If md = 0, this is equivalent to x == y. For any x, y, md, meq(x, y, md) = ismult(x - y, md). EXAMPLE ; print meq(5, 33, 7), meq(.05, .33, -.07), meq(5, 32, 7) 1 1 0 LIMITS none LINK LIBRARY none SEE ALSO mne, ismult ## Copyright (C) 1999 Landon Curt Noll ## ## Calc is open software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under ## the terms of the version 2.1 of the GNU Lesser General Public License ## as published by the Free Software Foundation. ## ## Calc is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ## ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY ## or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
