This module provides several mathematical functions which are likely to be used frequently on the Xenharmonic Wiki.
This module provides several mathematical functions which are likely to be used frequently on the Xenharmonic Wiki.


Namely, the functions in this module can be called from other modules by using <code>require('Module:Utils')</code> and calling the <code>_</code>-prefixed functions.
Namely, the functions in this module can be called from other modules by using <code>require("Module:Utils")</code> and calling the underscore-prefixed functions.


== Functions ==
=== Functions ===
* <code>eval_num_arg(input, def_value)</code> checks if <code>input</code> is a number; on error, use <code>def_value</code>. This function is designed to be used by other modules only; it cannot be called with <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:}}</nowiki></code>.
; <code>trim(s)</code>
* <code>log(x, b)</code> returns the logarithm base <code>b</code> of <code>x</code>. Parameter <code>b</code> defaults to base 2 (octave) if it is omitted.
: Removes leading and trailing whitespaces (but not interior ones) from a string.
* <code>round_dec(x, places)</code> returns <code>x</code> rounded to a precision of <code>places</code> decimal places. Parameter <code>places</code> defaults to 0 if it is omitted.
* <code>round(x, prec)</code> returns <code>x</code> rounded to a precision of <code>prec</code> significant figures. Parameter <code>prec</code> defaults to 6 if it is omitted.
* <code>is_prime(n)</code> returns <code>true</code> if the given integer <code>n</code> is a prime number. This function is designed to be used by other modules only; it cannot be called with <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:}}</nowiki></code>.
* <code>prime_factorization(n)</code> returns the prime factorization of the given integer <code>n</code> using the exponential form (in wikitext).
* <code>prime_factorization_raw(n)</code> returns a table encoding the prime factorization of <code>n</code>. This function is designed to be used by other modules only; it cannot be called with <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:}}</nowiki></code>.
* <code>signum(x)</code> returns 1 for positive numbers, -1 for negative ones, 0 for zero and non-integer inputs. This function is designed to be used by other modules only; it cannot be called with <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:}}</nowiki></code>.
* <code>next_young_diagram(d)</code> returns the next Young diagram of the same size; the first one is <code>[N]</code>, the last one is <code>[1, 1, ..., 1]</code>. After the last one, <code>nil</code> is returned. The input table is modified. This function is designed to be used by other modules only; it cannot be called with <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:}}</nowiki></code>.

: Returns the greatest common divisor of <code>a</code> and <code>b</code>.
 
; <code>round_dec(x,&nbsp;places)</code>
: Returns <code>x</code> rounded to a precision of <code>places</code> decimal places. Parameter <code>places</code> defaults to 0 if it is omitted.
 
; <code>round(x,&nbsp;prec)</code>
: Returns <code>x</code> rounded to a precision of <code>prec</code> significant figures. Parameter <code>prec</code> defaults to 6 if it is omitted.
 
; <code>is_prime(n)</code>*
: Returns <code>true</code> if the given integer <code>n</code> is a prime number.
 
; <code>prime_factorization(n)</code>
: Returns the prime factorization of the given integer <code>n</code> using the exponential form (in wikitext).
 
; <code>prime_factorization_raw(n)</code>*
: Returns a table encoding the prime factorization of <code>n</code>.
 
; <code>signum(x)</code>*
: Returns 1 for positive numbers, −1 for negative ones, and 0 for zero and non-integer inputs.
 
; <code>next_young_diagram(d)</code>
: Returns the next Young diagram of the same size; the first one is <code>[N]</code>, the last one is <code>{{nowrap|[1, 1, ..., 1]}}</code>. After the last one, <code>nil</code> is returned. The input table is modified.
