NAMEerf, erff, erfl — error functions
SYNOPSIS#include <math.h>
double erf(double x);
float erff(float x);
long double erfl(long double x);
DESCRIPTIONThe functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard. These functions shall compute the error function of their argument x, defined as: 2over√πintfrom0toxe-t2 dt An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to zero and call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred.
RETURN VALUEUpon successful completion, these functions shall return the value of the error function. If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned. If x is ±0, ±0 shall be returned. If x is ±Inf, ±1 shall be returned. If the correct value would cause underflow, a range error may occur, and erf(), erff(), and erfl() shall return an implementation-defined value no greater in magnitude than DBL_MIN, FLT_MIN, and LDBL_MIN, respectively. If the IEC 60559 Floating-Point option is supported, 2 * x/sqrt(π) should be returned.
ERRORSThese functions may fail if: Range Error The result underflows. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the underflow floating-point exception shall be raised.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
Computing the Probability for a Normal VariateThis example shows how to use erf() to compute the probability that a normal variate assumes a value in the range [x1,x2] with x1≤x2. This example uses the constant M_SQRT1_2 which is part of the XSI option. #include <math.h>
double
Phi(const double x1, const double x2)
{
return ( erf(x2*M_SQRT1_2) - erf(x1*M_SQRT1_2) ) / 2;
}
APPLICATION USAGEUnderflow occurs when |x| < DBL_MIN * ( sqrt(π)/2). On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.
RATIONALENone.
FUTURE DIRECTIONSNone.
