Add new logn(x, n [,eps]) builtin to compute logarithms to base n. Verify that eps arguments (error tolerance arguments that override the default epsilon value) to builtin functions have proper values. Previously the eps argument had little to no value checks for many builtin functions. Document in help files for builtin functions that take eps arguments, the LIMIT range for such eps values.

NAME
|
|
tan - trigonometric tangent
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
tan(x [,eps])
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
x real
|
|
eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon()
|
|
|
|
return real
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Calculate the tangent of x to a multiple of eps, with error less
|
|
in absolute value than .75 * eps.
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
|
; print tan(1, 1e-5), tan(1, 1e-10), tan(1, 1e-15), tan(1, 1e-20)

LIMITS

|
unlike sin and cos, x must be real
|
|
0 < eps < 1
