Arithmetic Operations
Besides the usual operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (+, -, *, and /), here are
some of the arithmetic operators you can use in Smalltalk:
// divide and truncate the result towards negative infinity
\\ mod
** raise to a power
abs absolute value
inverse 1 divided by receiver
quo: divide and truncate the result towards zero
rem: like mod except truncated towards zero
rounded add 0.5 and truncate
truncated round towards negative infinity
vmax: take the maximum of receiver and argument
vmin: take the minimum of receiver and argument
For example,
-7 // 3 -3
7 // 3 2
-7 \\ 3 2
7 \\ 3 1
2 inverse 1/2
-7 quo: 3 -2
7 quo: 3 2
-7 rem: 3 -1
7 rem: 3 1
-2.5 rounded -2.0
-2.5 truncated -3
5 vmax: 2 5
5 vmin: 2 2
Mathematical Functions
The following are some of the more common mathematical functions that are available in Smalltalk:
ln natural log
exp exponent
sqrt square root
sin sine
cos cosine
normCos (receiver * π) cos
normSin (receiver * π) sin
log log of receiver base 10
twoLog log of receiver base 2
twoExp two raised to the receiver
The expression
2 raisedTo: 10
means two raised to the tenth power.
