NAME
|
|
mmin - least-absolute-value residues modulo a specified number
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
mmin(x, md)
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
x number (real or complex), matrix, list, object
|
|
md real
|
|
|
|
return real
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
If x is real and md is nonzero, mmin(x, md) returns the real
|
|
number v congruent to x modulo md for which abs(v) <= md/2
|
|
and if abs(v) = md/2, then v = md/2.
|
|
|
|
If x is real and md is zero, mmin(x, md) returns x.
|
|
|
|
For complex, matrix, list or object x, see the help file for mod: for
|
|
all x and md, mmin(x, md) returns the same as mod(x, md, 16).
|

|
|
> print mmin(1.25, 2.5), mmin(-1.25,2.5), mmin(1.25, -2.5)
