prysm.mathops#
A submodule which allows the user to swap out the backend for mathematics.
- class prysm.mathops.BackendShim(src)#
Bases:
objectA shim that allows a backend to be swapped at runtime.
- prysm.mathops.jinc(r)#
Jinc.
The first zero of jinc occurs at r=pi
- Parameters
r (number) – radial distance
- Returns
the value of j1(x)/x for x != 0, 0.5 at 0
- Return type
float
- prysm.mathops.is_odd(int)#
Determine if an interger is odd using binary operations.
- Parameters
int (int) – an integer
- Returns
true if odd, False if even
- Return type
bool
- prysm.mathops.is_power_of_2(value)#
Check if a value is a power of 2 using binary operations.
- Parameters
value (number) – value to check
- Returns
true if the value is a power of two, False if the value is no
- Return type
bool
