LAGUERRE(3pm)

💜 LAGUERRE — the PDL::GSLSF::LAGUERRE page (3pm, user-contributed Perl docs, iykyk)

okay bestie sit DOWN because we're doing special functions today and honestly? it's giving math baddie ✨ this one lives in the Perl manual, section 3pm, filed under "User Contributed Perl Documentation" — which is basically the group chat of the manual world. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

PDL::GSLSF::LAGUERRE — the PDL interface to GSL Special Functions. literally what it says on the tin, no cap. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like. This is an interface to the Special Function package that lives inside the GNU Scientific Library. That's the whole vibe. PDL girlies wanted GSL's fancy special functions and now we have them, slay. 🎀

---

✨ FUNCTIONS ✨

🌈 gsl_sf_laguerre_n

Here's the signature, exactly as it is, do NOT come for me:

Signature: (double x(); double [o]y(); double [o]e(); int n; double a)

What does it do? It evaluates generalized Laguerre polynomials. Iconic behavior, honestly. 👑

Real talk though: gsl_sf_laguerre_n does not process bad values. It will set the bad-value flag of all output ndarrays if that flag is set for any of the input ndarrays. So if one of your inputs is having a bad day, everybody's having a bad day. group project energy fr fr. 💀
