<h1>EAMathHelp</h1>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>EAMathHelp provides fast floating point math primitives. It is not a vector/matrix math library such as those in use around Electronic Arts, but rather is a base
for doing floating point characterizations and for doing fast floating point conversions. The former often serve to help implement the latter.</p>
<p>The constants listed below may look odd if you aren't familiar with the standardized IEEE floating point format. A description of this format is outside the scope
of this document, but you can find plenty of documentation about it by looking it up on the Internet. Suffice it to say the floating point numbers are essentially
bitfields that specify a sign, an integer value (mantissa), and an exponent to raise the integer value by.</p>

// IsInvalid
//
// Returns true if a value does not obey normal arithmetic rules;
// specifically, x != x. In the case of Visual C++ 2003, this is true
// for NaNs and indefinites, and not for normalized finite values,
// denormals, and infinities. Other compilers may return different

<span class="code-example-comment">///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// IsNormal
//
// Returns true if the value is a normalized finite number. That is, it is neither
// an infinite, nor a NaN (including indefinite NaN), nor a denormalized number.
// You generally want to write math operation checking code that asserts for
// IsNormal() as opposed to checking specifically for IsNaN, etc.
//
// Normal values are defined as any floating point value with an exponent in
// the range of [1, 254], as 0 is reserved for denormalized (underflow) values
// and 255 is reserved for infinite (overflow) and NaN values.

inline bool IsNormal(float64_t fValue);
<span class="code-example-comment">///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// IsNAN
//
// A NaN is a special kind of number that is neither finite nor infinite.
// It is the result of doing things like the following:
// float x = 1 * NaN;
// float x = NaN + NaN;
// float x = 0 / 0;
// float x = 0 / infinite;
// float x = infinite - infinite
// float x = sqrt(-1);
// float x = cos(infinite);
// Under the VC++ debugger, x will be displayed as 1.#QNAN00 or 1.#IND00 and
// the bit representation of x will be 0x7fc00001 (in the case of 1 * NaN).
// The 'Q' in front of NAN stands for "quiet" and means that use of that value
// in expressions won't generate exceptions. A signaling NaN (SNAN) means that
// use of the value would generate exceptions.
//
// NaNs are frequently generated in physics simulations and similar mathematical
// situations when you are simulating an object moving or turning over time but
// the time or distance differential in the calculation is very small.
// Also, floating point roundoff error can generate NaNs if you do things
// like call acos(x) where you didn't take care to clamp x to &lt;= 1. You can
// also get a NaN when memory used to store a floating point value is written
// with random data.
//
// A curious property of NaNs is that all comparisons between NaNs return
// false except the expression: NaN != NaN. This is so even if the bit
// representation of the two compared NaNs are identical. Thus, with NaNs,
// the following holds:
// x == x is always false
// x < y is always false
// x > y is always false
//
// As a result, one simple way to test for a NaN without fiddling with bits is
// to simply test for x == x. If this returns false, then you have a NaN.
// Unfortunately, many C and C++ compilers don't obey this, so you are usually
// stuck fiddling with bits.
//
// With a NaN, all exponent bits are 1 and the mantissa is not zero.
// If the highest fraction bit is 1, the NAN is "quiet" -- it represents
// and indeterminant operation rather than an invalid one.

inline bool IsNAN(float32_t fValue);
inline bool IsNAN(float64_t fValue);
<span class="code-example-comment">///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// IsInfinite
//
// A value is infinity if the exponent bits are all 1 and all the bits of the
// mantissa (significand) are 0. The sign bit indicates positive or negative
// infinity. Thus, for Float32, 0x7f800000 is positive infinity and 0xff800000
// is negative infinity.
//

<span class="code-example-comment">///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// IsIndefinite
//
// An indefinite is a special kind of NaN that is used to signify that an
// operation between non-NaNs generated a NaN. Other than that, it really is
// simply another NaN.

</span>inline bool IsIndefinite(float32_t fValue);
inline bool IsIndefinite(float64_t fValue);
<span class="code-example-comment">///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// IsDenormalized
//
// Much in the same way that infinite numbers represent an overflow,
// denormalized numbers represent an underflow. A denormalized number is
// indicated by an exponent with a value of zero. You get a denormalized
// number when you do operations such as this:
// float x = 1e-10 / 1e35;
// Under the VC++ debugger, x will be displayed as 1.4e-045#DEN and the
// bit representation of x will be 0x00000001. Unlike infinites and NaNs,
// you can still do math with denormalized numbers. However, the results
// of your math will likely have a lot of imprecision. You can also get a
// denormalized value when memory used to store a floating point value is
// written with random data.
