PDL::Ops.3pm

NAME

PDL::Ops - Fundamental mathematical operators

DESCRIPTION

This module provides the functions used by PDL to overload the basic mathematical operators ("+ - / *" etc.) and functions ("sin sqrt" etc.)

It also includes the function "log10", which should be a perl function so that we can overload it!

Matrix multiplication (the operator "x") is handled by the module PDL::Primitive.

SYNOPSIS

none

FUNCTIONS

plus

  Signature: (a(); b(); [o]c(); int swap)

add two piddles

   $c = plus $a, $b, 0;     # explicit call with trailing 0

   $c = $a + $b;           # overloaded call

   $a->inplace->plus($b,0);  # modify $a inplace

It can be made to work inplace with the "$a->inplace" syntax. This function is used to overload the binary "+" operator. Note that when calling this function explicitly you need to supply a third argument that should generally be zero (see first example). This restriction is expected to go away in future releases.

mult
