O_Piecewise¶

Piecewise-linear function operator.

The piecewise linear function is defined by two arrays of numbers giving the breakpoints of the function. This operator has exactly 3 operands: The first two operands must be two arrays of equal lengths (necessarily larger or equal to 2). These arrays must contain constant numbers (int or double). The first array must contain numbers in ascending order. The third operand must be an integer or double expression. An exception will be thrown if its value is strictly smaller that the first element of the first array, or strictly larger than the last element of the first array. This operator returns a double.

piecewise(x,y,z) returns the image of z by the function defined by geometric points (x[0],y[0]), (x[1],y[1]), ..... (x[n-1],y[n-1]), For instance piecewise({0,50,100},{0,10,100},75) returns 55.

Discontinuities are allowed in the definition of the function, that is to say that two geometric points can share the same x-coordinate. By convention the value taken by the function at such a discontinuous point is the one associated to the last occurrence of this x-coordinate in array x. For instance piecewise({0,50,50,100},{0,0.1,0.9,1},50) returns 0.9;

Since:	5.0

O_List¶

A list is an collection of integers within a range [0,n-1] where n is the unique argument of this operator.

Mathematically a list is a permutation of a subset of [0,n-1]. This operator takes exactly one parameter: a constant strictly positive integer. All values in the list will be pairwise different, non negative and strictly smaller that this number. The elements of the list can be accessed with the at operator (-1 will be returned for indices beyond the number of elements in the list and for negative indices).

Since:	5.5

O_Count¶

The number of elements in a collection.

This operator takes exactly one argument of type list.

Since:	5.5

O_IndexOf¶

The index of a value in a list (-1 if the value is not in the list).

This operator takes exactly two arguments: the first one is a list, the second one is an integer expression.

Since:	5.5

O_Partition¶

Since:	5.5

O_Disjoint¶

O_Call¶

The first operand must be a function (like O_NativeFunction). The other operands are passed to the function as arguments.
