B.1 General

This annex summarizes the PostScript operators that may appear in a type 4 function, as discussed in 7.10.5, "Type 4 (PostScript Calculator) Functions". For details on these operators, see the PostScript Language Reference , Third Edition.

B.2 Arithmetic Operators

num 1 num 2	add sum	Return num 1 plus num 2
num 1 num 2	sub difference	Return num 1 minus num 2
num 1 num 2	mul product	Return num 1 times num 2
num 1 num 2	div quotient	Return num 1 divided by num 2
int 1 int 2	idiv quotient	Return int 1 divided by int 2 as an integer
int 1 int 2	mod remainder	Return remainder after dividing int 1 by int 2
num 1	neg num 2	Return negative of num 1
num 1	abs num 2	Return absolute value of num 1
num 1	ceiling num 2	Return ceiling of num 1
num 1	floor num 2	Return floor of num 1
num 1	round num 2	Round num 1 to nearest integer
num 1	truncate num 2	Remove fractional part of num 1
num angle	sqrt real sin real	Return square root of num Return sine of angle degrees
angle	cos real	Return cosine of angle degrees
num den	atan angle	Return arc tangent of num / den in degrees
base exponent	exp real	Raise base to exponent power
num num	ln real	Return natural logarithm (base e )
	log real	Return common logarithm (base 10)
num	cvi int	Convert to integer
num	cvr real	Convert to real

B.3 Relational, Boolean, and Bitwise Operators

any 1 any 2	eq	bool	Test equal
any 1 any 2	ne	bool	Test not equal
num 1 num 2	gt	bool	Test greater than
num 1 num 2	ge	bool	Test greater than or equal
