intcalc
Provides robust and expandable arithmetic operations for integer calculations within TeX documents.
Overview
Enables precise integer-based mathematical computations directly within TeX macros and document commands, offering enhanced calculation capabilities compared to basic TeX arithmetic. The package leverages e-TeX's \numexpr extension when available for improved performance and reliability.
- Supports basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) with integers
- Ensures expandable results suitable for use in other TeX commands and definitions
- Particularly useful for package developers and advanced users needing programmatic calculations
- Handles edge cases and provides consistent behavior across different TeX engines
Getting Started
To use intcalc, include it in your document preamble:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{intcalc}
This package provides expandable arithmetic operations with integers and will automatically use the e-TeX extension \numexpr if available.
Examples
Basic integer calculations using intcalc package.
The result of $3 \times 4 + 2$ is \intcalcAdd{\intcalcMul{3}{4}}{2}.
The result of $(10 - 3) \div 2$ is \intcalcDiv{\intcalcSub{10}{3}}{2}.
The modulo of $17 \bmod 5$ is \intcalcMod{17}{5}.
The sign of $-42$ is \intcalcSgn{-42} and the sign of $42$ is \intcalcSgn{42}.
The absolute value of $-7$ is \intcalcAbs{-7}.
The maximum of $8$ and $12$ is \intcalcMax{8}{12}.
The minimum of $8$ and $12$ is \intcalcMin{8}{12}.
