Member Enumeration Documentation

enum RWDecimalBase::Op

An enumeration defining the operation that caused the error handler to be called.

See also:

RWDecimalInexactErr and RWDecimalOverflowErr.

Enumerator:

assign
add
sub
mult
div
powop
pow10op
conversion

enum RWDecimalBase::RoundingMethod

Rounding methods used by RWDecimalPortable::round()

The following table shows the results of the different rounding methods.

Method	1.25	1.35	1.251
PLAIN	1.2	1.3	1.2
UP	1.3	1.4	1.3
DOWN	1.2	1.3	1.2
TRUNCATE	1.2	1.3	1.2
BANKERS	1.2	1.4	1.3

Enumerator:

PLAIN	Round up on a tie.
UP	Always round up.
DOWN	Always round down.
BANKERS	On a tie, round so that last digit is even.
TRUNCATE	Same as DOWN.

enum RWDecimalBase::State

An enumeration defining the state of the object.

Any operation on nullstate returns the other operand.

Any operation on NaN provides a NaN result.

Any operation on ctorError or missingstate returns a result with the State ctorError or missingstate respectively.

Operations on infinitystate are as follows:

Operation	Result
	0
	NaN
	NaN
	NaN

Note:

An operation on an object with SNaNstate does not generate signals, unless converted to a double or long double and used in double arithemetic.

Enumerator:

normal	Normal numeric value.
nullstate	Non-numeric value.
NaNstate	Quiet NaN.
ctorError	Error in construction.
missingstate	Non-numeric value.
SNaNstate	Signaling NaN.
infinitystate	Infinity.
