# Module Batteries.Num

    module Num: BatNum

    type num = Num.num =

`|` | `Int of `int``
`|` | `Big_int of `Big_int.big_int``
`|` | `Ratio of `Ratio.ratio``

The type of numbers.

###### Additional operations

Euclidian divisiom

    val square : num -> num

Raises `Invalid_argument` `"Num.succ"` for `Num.Ratio _` argument

    val pred : num -> num

Raises `Invalid_argument` `"Num.pred"` for `Num.Ratio _` argument

    val is_integer : num -> bool

`is_integer x` returns `true` if `x` represents an integer value, `false` otherwise

    val round : num -> num

    val ceil : num -> num

    val approx : num -> num

`approx n` return the integer closest to `n`

    val sign : num -> int

Return `-1`, `0` or `1` according to the sign of the argument.

###### Coercions with strings

    val approx_num_fix : int -> num -> string

See `Num.approx_num_exp`.

    val approx_num_exp : int -> num -> string

Approximate a number by a decimal. The first argument is the required precision. The second argument is the number to approximate. `Num.approx_num_fix` uses decimal notation; the first argument is the number of digits after the decimal point. `approx_num_exp` uses scientific (exponential) notation; the first argument is the number of digits in the mantissa.

    val nat_of_num : num -> Nat.nat

###### Coercions between numerical types

    val num_of_nat : Nat.nat -> num

    val num_of_big_int : Big_int.big_int -> num

    val big_int_of_num : num -> Big_int.big_int

    val ratio_of_num : num -> Ratio.ratio

    val num_of_ratio : Ratio.ratio -> num

    val float_of_num : num -> float
