Floating-Point Support Functions
The Neuron C compiler does not directly support the use of the ANSI C
arithmetic and comparison operators with floating-point values. However, there
is a complete library of functions for floating-point math. These functions are
listed in
Floating-Point Math on page 46. For example, in standard ANSI C, to
evaluate X = A + B * C in floating-point, the '+' and '*' infix operators can be used
as follows:
float X, A, B, C;
X = A + B * C;
With Neuron C, this can be expressed as follows:
