Scheme Procedure: div x y ​

Scheme Procedure: mod x y ​

Scheme Procedure: div-and-mod x y ​

These procedures accept two real numbers x and y, where the divisor y must be non-zero. div returns the integer q and mod returns the real number r such that x = q*y + r and 0 <= r < abs(y). div-and-mod returns both q and r, and is more efficient than computing each separately. Note that when y > 0, div returns floor(x/y), otherwise it returns ceiling(x/y).

Scheme Procedure: div0 x y ​

Scheme Procedure: mod0 x y ​

Scheme Procedure: div0-and-mod0 x y ​

These procedures accept two real numbers x and y, where the divisor y must be non-zero. div0 returns the integer q and mod0 returns the real number r such that x = q*y + r and -abs(y/2) <= r < abs(y/2). div0-and-mod0 returns both q and r, and is more efficient than computing each separately.

Note that div0 returns x/y rounded to the nearest integer. When x/y lies exactly half-way between two integers, the tie is broken according to the sign of y. If y > 0, ties are rounded toward positive infinity, otherwise they are rounded toward negative infinity. This is a consequence of the requirement that -abs(y/2) <= r < abs(y/2).

(div0 123 10) ⇒ 12

(div0-and-mod0 -123.2 -63.5) ⇒ 2.0 and 3.8
(div0-and-mod0 16/3 -10/7) ⇒ -4 and -8/21

Scheme Procedure: real-valued? obj ​

Scheme Procedure: rational-valued? obj ​

Scheme Procedure: integer-valued? obj ​

These procedures return #t if and only if their arguments can, respectively, be coerced to a real, rational, or integer value without a loss of numerical precision.

real-valued? will return #t for complex numbers whose imaginary parts are zero.

Scheme Procedure: nan? x ​

Scheme Procedure: infinite? x ​

Scheme Procedure: finite? x ​

nan? returns #t if x is a NaN value, #f otherwise. infinite? returns #t if x is an infinite value, #f otherwise. finite? returns #t if x is neither infinite nor a NaN value, otherwise it returns #f. Every real number satisfies exactly one of these predicates. An exception is raised if x is not real.

Scheme Syntax: assert expr ​

Raises an &assertion condition if expr evaluates to #f; otherwise evaluates to the value of expr.

Scheme Procedure: error who message irritant1 ... ​

Scheme Procedure: assertion-violation who message irritant1 ... ​

These procedures raise compound conditions based on their arguments: If who is not #f, the condition will include a &who condition whose who field is set to who; a &message condition will be included with a message field equal to message; an &irritants condition will be included with its irritants list given by irritant1 ....

error produces a compound condition with the simple conditions described above, as well as an &error condition; assertion-violation produces one that includes an &assertion condition.
