✨ Math::GSL::Machine ✨

okay bestie, so this page is for the Perl module Math::GSL::Machine — it's the bit of the GSL family that just hands you machine constants 🎀 no functions, no drama, just a whole bag of numbers that describe what your floating-point math is actually working with. like, epsilon values, the smallest and biggest numbers, square roots and third/fourth/fifth/sixth roots of all of them, and logs of them too. it's giving "reference sheet" and honestly? we love a module that knows exactly what it is 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

Math::GSL::Machine — Machine constants 🧚

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

use Math::GSL::Machine qw/:all/;
print "The GSL_DBL_EPSILON Constant is $GSL_DBL_EPSILON\n";

so you import :all and every constant below just... shows up in your namespace like it pays rent 🫶 and yes, that print statement is literally from the docs, we're printing $GSL_DBL_EPSILON and calling it a day. iconic behaviour, no notes ✨

Here is a list of all the constants included in this module, fr fr — every single one, no skipping:
