API Reference



abs

Returns the absolute value of a number. All numbers greater or equal to zero are returned unchanged, while any number less than zero is negated.

Example

Suppose col is a column containing positive or negative numbers.

abs(col);


acos

Returns the arccosine (in radians) of a number. The value returned is a numerical value between 0 and ฯ€ radians for x between -1 and 1. If the value provided is outside of this range, no value is returned.

Example

Suppose col is a column representing consine values, where each value is between -1 and 1.

abs(col);


acosh

Returns the hyperbolic arc-cosine of a number. If the number provided is less than 1, no value is returned.

Example

Suppose col is a column containing values greater than 1.

acosh(col);


asin

Returns the arcsine of a number, represented as a numerical value between -ฯ€/2 and ฯ€/2 radians. If the number provided is greater than 1 or less than -1, no value is returned.

Example

Suppose col is a column containing values between 1 and -1.

asin(col);


asinh

Returns the hyperbolic arcsine of a number.

Example

Suppose col is a column containing numerical values.

asihn(col);


atan

Returns arctangent of a number, represented as a numerical value between -ฯ€/2 and ฯ€/2 radians.

Example

Suppose col is a column containing numerical values.

atan(col);


atan2

Returns the angle in the plane between the positive x-axis and the ray from (0,0) to the point (x,y). The angle is represented in radians (in the range of -ฯ€ , ฯ€) between the positive x-axis and the ray from (0,0) to the point (x,y).

Example

Suppose y is the y coordinate of a point, and x is the x coordinate of a point.

atan2(y, x);


atanh

Returns the hyperbolic arctangent of a number. If the number provided is greater than 1 or less than -1, no value is returned.

Example

Suppose col is a column containing numerical values.

atan(col);


cbrt

Returns the cube root of the number.

Example

Assume col is a column containing numerical values.

cbrt(col);


ceil

Returns the provided value rounded to the next largest integer.

Example

Assume col is a column containing numerical values.

ceil(col);


cos

Returns the cosine of the angle, which must be specified in radians. The angle returned is a number between -1 and 1, representing the cosine of the angle.

Example

Assume col is a column containing numerical values.

cos(col);


cosh

Returns the hyperbolic cosine of a number.

Example

Assume col is a column containing numerical values.

cosh(col);


exp

Returns e^x, where x is the argument, and e Euler's number (the base of the natural logarithm).

As e to the power of numbers close to 0 will be very close to 1, the result may lack precision. In these cases, use expm1.

Example

Assume col is a column containing numerical values.

exp(col);


expm1

Returns e^x - 1, where x is the argument, and e Euler's number (the base of the natural logarithm).

Example

Assume col is a column containing numerical values.

expm1(col);


floor

Returns the value rounded down to nearest integer.

Example

Assume col is a column containing numerical values.

floor(col);


fround

Returns the nearest 32-bit single precision float representation of a number. This function can be used to cast a 64-bit float to a 32-bit float. The value will continue to be treated as a 64-bit float with the 23rd bit of the mantissa rounded, followed by 0 mantissa bits.

Example

Assume col is a column containing numerical values.

fround(col);


hypot

Returns the square root of the sum of squares from the provided arguments. To compute the hypotenuse of a triangle, include the length of the base and perpendicular sides of the triangle.

This function can also be used to compute the magnitude of a complex number with any number of arguments.

Example

Assume v1 and v2 are columns that represent two sides of a set of triangular geometries.

hypot(v1, v2);


imul

Returns the 32-bit multiplication of the provided integers. If values are provided in float rather than int, they will be converted to an int for multiplication, then converted back into a float.

Example

Assume int_1 and int_2 are two integers.

imul(int_1, int_2);


log

Returns the natural logarithm (base e) of a number. If the input value is less than or equal to zero, no value is returned. Positive numbers close to 1 can suffer from loss of precision. In cases where your input may contain numbers close to 1, use log1p.

Example

Assume col is a column containing numerical values.

log(col);


log10

Returns the common logarithm (base 10) of a number. If the input value is less than zero, no value is returned.

Example

Assume col is a column containing numerical values.

log10(col);


log1p

Returns the natural logarithm (base e) of a number plus one. If the input value is less than -1, no value is returned.

Example

Assume col is a column containing numerical values.

log1p(col);


log2

Returns the binary logarithm (base 2) of a number. If the number is less than 0, no value is returned.

Example

Assume col is a column containing numerical values.

log2(col);


max

Returns the largest of one or more numbers given as input parameters. If one or more values is not a number and cannot be converted into one, no value is returned.

Example

Assume val1, val2, and val3 are columns containing numerical values.

max(val1, val2, val3);


min

Returns the smallest of one or more numbers given as input parameters. If one or more values is not a number and cannot be converted into one, no value is returned.

Example

Assume val1, val2, and val3 are columns containing numerical values.

min(val1, val2, val3);


pow

Raise a base number by an exponent value.

Example

Assume base is a column containing base values, and exponent is a column containing exponent values.

pow(base, exponent);


round

Rounds the given number to the nearest integer. If the fractional portion of the argument is greater than 0.5, the value is rounded to the integer with the next highest absolute value. Conversely, if the fractional portion is less than 0.5, the value is rounded to the integer with the lower absolute value. If the fractional portion is exactly 0.5, the argument is rounded in the direction of positive infinity.

Example

Assume col is a column containing float values.

round(col);


sign

Returns the sign (not to be confused with the geometric sine) of the number. If the provided number is positive, the output will be 1, and if negative, the output will be -1. If the input is 0, the output is 0.

Example

Assume col is a column containing numerical values.

sign(col);


sin

Returns the sine of a number, represented as an angle between -1 and 1 radians.

Assume col is a column containing numerical values.

floor(col);

Example

sin(col);


sinh

tan(col);


tanh

Returns the hyperbolic tangent of a number.

Example

trunc

Returns the integer part of a number, removing any fractional digits. As opposed to ceil, floor, and round functions, this function does not consider the sign of the number.

Example

Assume col is a column containing numerical values.

trunc(col);
