💖 polynomial_calc(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for polynomial_calc(9) — it's giving integer math main character energy, and I'm obsessed. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

polynomial_calc — calculate a polynomial using integer arithmetic. periodt. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

long polynomial_calc (const struct polynomial *poly , long data );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• poly — pointer to the descriptor of the polynomial, bestie. 🫶
• data — input value of the polynomial. 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this function calculates the result of a polynomial using only integer arithmetic. no cap. For this to work without too much loss of precision, the coefficients has to be altered. That little glow-up is called factor redistribution. 💅✨

lowkey important: it's integer arithmetic only, so the coefficients has to be altered for this to work without too much loss of precision. 🌸

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

It returns the result of the polynomial calculation. literally the whole point, iykyk. 💖
