@title[#:tag "numbers" #:style '(toc)]{Numbers}
@guideintro["numbers"]{numbers}
All @deftech{numbers} are @deftech{complex numbers}. Some of them are
@deftech{real numbers}, and all of the real numbers that can be
represented are also @deftech{rational numbers}, except for
@as-index{@racket[+inf.0]} (positive @as-index{infinity}), @as-index{@racket[+inf.f]} (single-precision variant),
@as-index{@racket[-inf.0]} (negative infinity), @as-index{@racket[-inf.f]} (single-precision variant),
@as-index{@racket[+nan.0]} (@as-index{not-a-number}), and @as-index{@racket[+nan.f]} (single-precision variant). Among the
rational numbers, some are @deftech{integers}, because @racket[round]
applied to the number produces the same number.
@margin-note/ref{See @secref["parse-number"] for information on the
syntax of number literals.}
Orthogonal to those categories, each number is also either an
@deftech{exact number} or an @deftech{inexact number}. Unless
otherwise specified, computations that involve an inexact number
produce inexact results. Certain operations on inexact numbers,
however, produce an exact number, such as multiplying an inexact
number with an exact @racket[0]. Some operations, which can produce an
irrational number for rational arguments (e.g., @racket[sqrt]), may
produce inexact results even for exact arguments.
In the case of complex numbers, either the real and imaginary parts
are both exact or inexact, or the number has an exact zero real part
and an inexact imaginary part; a complex number with an exact zero
imaginary part is a real number.
Inexact real numbers are implemented as either single- or
double-precision @as-index{IEEE floating-point numbers}---the latter
by default, and the former only when a computation starts with
numerical constants specified as single-precision numbers. Inexact
real numbers that are represented as double-precision floating-point
numbers are @deftech{flonums}.
The precision and size of exact numbers is limited only by available
memory (and the precision of operations that can produce irrational
numbers). In particular, adding, multiplying, subtracting, and
dividing exact numbers always produces an exact result.
Inexact numbers can be coerced to exact form, except for the inexact
numbers @racket[+inf.0], @racket[+inf.f],
@racket[-inf.0], @racket[-inf.f], @racket[+nan.0], and @racket[+nan.f], which
have no exact form. @index["division by inexact zero"]{Dividing} a
number by exact zero raises an exception; dividing a non-zero number
other than @racket[+nan.0] or @racket[+nan.f] by an inexact zero returns @racket[+inf.0],
@racket[+inf.f], @racket[-inf.0]
or @racket[-inf.f], depending on the sign and precision of the dividend. The
@racket[+nan.0] value is not @racket[=] to itself, but @racket[+nan.0]
is @racket[eqv?] to itself, and @racket[+nan.f] is similarly @racket[eqv?] but
not @racket[=] to itself. Conversely, @racket[(= 0.0 -0.0)] is
@racket[#t], but @racket[(eqv? 0.0 -0.0)] is @racket[#f], and the
same for @racket[0.0f0] and @racket[-0.0f0] (which are single-precision variants). The datum
@racketvalfont{-nan.0} refers to the same constant as @racket[+nan.0],
and @racketvalfont{-nan.f} is the same as @racket[+nan.f].
Calculations with infinites produce results consistent with IEEE
double- or single-precision floating point where IEEE specifies the result; in
cases where IEEE provides no specification, such as @racket[(angle
+inf.0+inf.0i)], the result corresponds to the limit approaching
infinity, or @racket[+nan.0] or @racket[+nan.f] if no such limit exists.
A @deftech{fixnum} is an exact integer whose two's complement
representation fit into 31 bits on a 32-bit platform or 63 bits on a
64-bit platform; furthermore, no allocation is required when computing
with fixnums. See also the @racketmodname[racket/fixnum] module, below.
Two fixnums that are @racket[=] are also the same
according to @racket[eq?]. Otherwise, the result of @racket[eq?]
applied to two numbers is undefined, except that numbers produced
by the default reader in @racket[read-syntax] mode are @tech{interned} and therefore @racket[eq?]
when they are @racket[eqv?].
Two numbers are @racket[eqv?] when they are both inexact with the same precision or both
exact, and when they are @racket[=] (except for @racket[+nan.0], @racket[+nan.f],
@racket[+0.0], @racket[+0.0f0], @racket[-0.0], and @racket[-0.0f0], as noted above). Two numbers are
@racket[equal?] when they are @racket[eqv?].
