The LongrealType interface

An LonrealType.T is a LONGREAL. This interface is intended to be used to instantiate generic interfaces and modules such as Table and List.

INTERFACE LongrealType;

IMPORT Word;

TYPE T = LONGREAL;

CONST Brand = "Longreal";

PROCEDURE Equal(a, b: T): BOOLEAN;

Return a = b. The result is undefined if either a or b is an NaN (not a number) value.

PROCEDURE Hash(a: T): Word.T;

Return a hash value derived from a. The result is undefined if either a or b is an NaN (not a number) value.

PROCEDURE Compare(a, b: T): [-1..1];

Return -1 if a < b", "0" if "a = b", or "+1" if "a > b. The result is undefined if either a or b is an NaN (not a number) value.

END LongrealType.
