recip function

Input type Output type

This function divides 1 by the argument and returns the result. So, recip(x) is equal to 1/x. Usage of recip(x) is just as fast as 1/x. Which one you want to use is a matter of personal preference. If the argument is of type int, it is first converted to float by the compiler.

Examples:

  recip(1)       ; 1.0  recip(4)       ; 0.25  recip((3, 2))  ; (0.2308, -0.1538)    

Notes

  • The argument should not be equal to 0. Otherwise, this function will return an invalid value. See Invalid operations.
  • This function is mainly intended for user functions. In formulas, you can use 1/x instead of recip(x).
