For pairs of functions with names that differ by a single leading underscore (for example, <code>gcd</code> and <code>_gcd</code>), the function ''with'' an underscore is meant to be called by other modules, and the function ''without'' an underscore can be used with <code>#invoke</code>.

| desc_trim = Removes leading and trailing whitespaces (but not interior ones) from a string.
 
| desc__yesno = Wrapper function for [[Module:Yesno]], for use with templates. (Module:Yesno does not have a corresponding template.)
=== Functions ===
| desc_table_contains = Checks whether table <code>tbl</code> contains <code>value</code> and returns <code>true</code> (if found) or <code>false</code> if not found. Passing <code>compare_func</code> is optional. By default, <code>value</code> is a numeric value or a string; to check for other values, such as ratios defined by [[Module:Rational]], a comparison function <code>compare_func</code> must be passed in.
; <code>trim(s)</code>
| desc_index_of = Returns the first index with the given <code>value</code> (or nil if not found). Passing <code>compare_func</code> is optional. By default, <code>value</code> is a numeric value or a string; to check for other values, such as ratios defined by [[Module:Rational]], a comparison function <code>compare_func</code> must be passed in.
: Removes leading and trailing whitespaces (but not interior ones) from a string.
| desc_value_provided = Checks whether <code>s</code> is a non-empty string.
 
| desc_eval_num_arg = Evaluates <code>input</code> as a number, fraction notation supported but not other expressions; uses <code>def_value</code> on error.
; <code>_yesno(frame)</code>
| desc_log = Returns the logarithm base <code>b</code> of <code>x</code>. Parameter <code>b</code> defaults to base 2 (octave) if it is omitted.
: Wrapper function for [[Module: Yesno]], for use with templates. (Module: Yesno does not have a corresponding template.)
| desc_gcd = Returns the greatest common divisor of <code>a</code> and <code>b</code>.  
 
| desc_round_dec = 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>_clamp(value, min_value, max_value)</code>
| desc_round = 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.
: Returns <code>value</code> such that it is between <code>min_value</code> and <code>max_value</code>.
| desc_is_prime = Returns <code>true</code> if the given integer <code>n</code> is a prime number.
 
| desc_prime_factorization = Returns the prime factorization of the given integer <code>n</code> using the exponential form (in wikitext).
; <code>table_contains(tbl, value, compare_func)</code> *
| desc_prime_factorization_raw = Returns a table encoding the prime factorization of <code>n</code>.
: Checks whether table <code>tbl</code> contains <code>value</code> and returns <code>true</code> (if found) or <code>false</code> if not found. Passing <code>compare_func</code> is optional; By default, <code>value</code> is a numeric value or a string; to check for other values, such as ratios defined by [[Module: Rational]], a comparison function <code>compare_func</code> must be passed in.
| desc_signum = Returns 1 for positive numbers, −1 for negative ones, and 0 for zero and non-integer inputs.
 
| desc_next_young_diagram = 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.}}
; <code>index_of(array, value, compare_func)</code> *
: Returns the first index with the given <code>value</code> (or nil if not found). Passing <code>compare_func</code> is optional. By default, <code>value</code> is a numeric value or a string; to check for other values, such as ratios defined by [[Module:Rational]], a comparison function <code>compare_func</code> must be passed in.  
 
; <code>value_provided(s)</code> *
: Checks whether <code>s</code> is a non-empty string.
 
; <code>eval_num_arg(input, def_value)</code> *
: Evaluates <code>input</code> as a number, fraction notation supported but not other expressions; uses <code>def_value</code> on error.
 
; <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.
 
; <code>log2(x)</code>
: Returns the base-2 logarithm of <code>x</code>.
 
; <code>gcd(a, b)</code>
: Returns the greatest common divisor of <code>a</code> and <code>b</code>.  
 
; <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.
 
; <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>[1, 1, …, 1]</code>. After the last one, <code>nil</code> is returned. The input table is modified.
