Overview

Evaluates polynomial of degree N:

Coefficients are stored in reverse order, i.e.

PolyEval

Evaluates polynomial of degree N

Example:

The following code computes solutions to the polynomial

#include <stdio.h>
#include <codecogs/maths/approximation/polynomial/poly_eval.h>
 
int main()
{
  using namespace Maths::Algebra::Polynomial;
  static double A[] = { 1,2,3 };
  for(int x=2;x<=5;x++)
    printf("\n polyEval(%d, A, 2)=%.1lf", x, polyEval(x, A, 2));
 
  return 0;
}

Output:

polyEval(2, A, 2)=11.0
polyEval(3, A, 2)=18.0
polyEval(4, A, 2)=27.0
polyEval(5, A, 2)=38.0

Note

In the interest of speed, there are no checks for out of bounds arithmetic.

Parameters

x	main variant
coef	array of coefficients <tt>coef[0..N]</tt> in reverse order
N	degree of polynomial, also one less that number of coefficients supplied.

PolyEval1

Evaluates polynomial of degree N, where the coefficient . i.e. coef[0] = 1.0,

Example:

The following code computes solutions to the polynomial

#include <stdio.h>
#include <codecogs/maths/approximation/polynomial/poly_eval.h>
 
int main()
{
  using namespace Algebra::Polynomial;
  static double A[] = { -5, 4 };
  for(int x=2;x<=5;x++)
    printf("\n polyEval1(%d, A, 2)=%.1lf", x, polyEval(x, A, 2));
 
  return 0;
}

Output:

polyEval1(2, A, 2)=-2.0
polyEval1(3, A, 2)=-2.0
polyEval1(4, A, 2)=0.0
polyEval1(5, A, 2)=4.0
