253 :: idea for a new module

• achesak (orginal) [2013-09-22T01:00:11+02:00] view original

  Hello again!

  Would there be any interest in having a module that provides more advanced trigonometric functions than what the math module already contains in the standard library?

  Here's the functions I have so far:

  
  arccosh()
  arccot()
  arccoth()
  arccsc()
  arccsch()
  arcsec()
  arcsech()
  arcsinh()
  arctanh()
  csc()
  csch()
  cot()
  coth()
  sec()
  sech()
  Run

  I think these should just be added to the math module instead of to a separate module.

  Sure, that's why I asked!

  One question though; because of the JavaScript thing in math.nim, there are two definitions of some of the functions. Would these functions need to be defined twice, or would they only be defined once?

  That depends on whether the code needs to be different depending on whether it is being compiled to JavaScript or C. If you are implementing these functions using the functions that are already in math.nim then just place them outside the when statements.

  Ah, thanks!
