Definition

An object of the class Gmpfi is a closed interval, with endpoints represented as Gmpfr floating-point numbers.

An interval can have finite or infinite endpoints and its meaning is straightforward. It can also have one (or both) NaN endpoint(s): this indicates that an invalid operation has been performed and that the resulting interval has no mathematical meaning.

All the operations of Gmpfi were designed in such a way that the mathematical correct result is always contained in the resulting interval.

This type is ImplicitInteroperable with Gmpfr, Gmpz, Gmpq, long, unsigned long, int, double and long double.

Is Model Of:

FieldWithKthRoot

RealEmbeddable

Implementation

All interval operations are performed by the MPFI library. The class Gmpfi is not reference counted, but its members are.

The default precision of Gmpfi is local to each thread and independent of the default precision of Gmpfr (in contrast to the behaviour of the MPFI and MPFR libraries, which share a default precision).

Types
typedef unspecified_type	Precision_type
	Type representing the precision (number of bits used to represent the mantissa) of a number.

Creation
All constructors accept as an optional last argument a precision, which can be used to specify the precision of the `Gmpfr` endpoints. If none is specified, the default precision will be used. As the endpoints are represented with a fixed number of bits, they may need to be rounded. In this case, the number from which the `Gmpfi` was constructed is guaranteed to be included in the constructed interval.

	Returns the default precision.

static Precision_type	set_default_precision (Precision_type prec)
	Sets the default precision to `prec` and returns the old value.

Arithmetic Operations
Arithmetic operators `+`, `-`, and `/` are overloaded, but special care must be taken when applying them. The precision of an operation between two `Gmpfi`s is defined as the maximum of the operands precision and the default precision. The second operand of the former operations can be a `Gmpfi`, `Gmpfr`, `int`, `long`, `unsigned`, `unsigned long`, `Gmpz` or `Gmpq`. The precision of an operation between a `Gmpfi` and a number of another type is defined as the `Gmpfi`'s precision (even when operating with a `Gmpfr`). To specify the rounding mode and/or the precision to perform an operation, this class provides the four static functions `add`, `sub`, `mul` and `div`. Only one of them is shown here, since their interfaces are similar: When the precision is not specified in this family of functions, it is defined as in the overloaded operators.

static Gmpfi	add (const Gmpfi &a, const Gmpfi &b, Precision_type p=0)

Comparisons
The semantics of the comparison operators is the same than on `Interval_nt<Protected>`. The result of the comparison is always an `Uncertain<bool>` (this type is convertible to `bool`, but may throw an exception). If compared intervals have no common points, the result is `true` or `false`; otherwise, `Uncertain::indeterminate()` will be returned. In the same way, we can explain the semantics of `Uncertain<Comparison_result>` and `Uncertain<Sign>`. With the semantics described above, this class provides comparisons between `Gmpfi` and `Gmpfi`, `Gmpfr`, `long`, `unsigned long`, `int`, `double`, `Gmpz` and `Gmpq`. Comparison operators `==`, `!=`, `>`, `<`, `>=` and `<=` are overloaded. The class provides also functions to test efficiently some special kinds of comparisons:
bool	is_same (const Gmpfi &j) const
	Returns `true` iff left endpoints of `i` and `j` are equal and right endpoints of them are also equal. More...

bool	do_overlap (const Gmpfi &j) const
	Returns `true` iff `i` and `j` overlap, i.e., iff they have points in common.

Uncertain< Comparison_result >	compare (const Gmpfi &j) const
	If `i` and `j` do not overlap, this function returns the result of the comparison. More...

Query Functions
bool	is_point () const
	Returns `true` iff both endpoints are equal.

bool	is_nan () const
	Returns `true` iff at least one of the endpoints is `NaN`.

bool	is_inf () const
	Returns `true` iff at least one of the endpoints is plus or minus infinity.
