Name

erf, erff, erfl - error function

Synopsis

lm [ library... ]
#include <math.h>

double erf(double 
x);
float erff(float 
x);
long double erfl(long double
 x);

Description

These functions compute the error function of their argument x, defined as:

image:Equation that computes error function of x.

2/sqrt(pi)*intregral from 0 to x of exp(-t*t) dt

Return Values

Upon successful completion, these functions return the value of the error function.

If x is NaN, a NaN is returned.

If x is ±0, ±0 is returned.

If x is ±Inf, ±1 is returned.

If x is subnormal, 2/sqrt(π) * 2 is returned.
