<p>Guile supports a rich “tower” of numerical types — integer,
|
|
rational, real and complex — and provides an extensive set of
|
|
mathematical and scientific functions for operating on numerical
|
|
data. This section of the manual documents those types and functions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You may also find it illuminating to read R5RS’s presentation of numbers
|
|
in Scheme, which is particularly clear and accessible: see
|
|
<a data-manual="r5rs" href="../r5rs_html/Numbers.html#Numbers">Numbers</a> in <cite class="cite">R5RS</cite>.
