Module org.zfcj.math.concretenumbers

Package org.zfcj.math.numbers

Interface IrrationalNumber<N extends PositiveInteger>

Type Parameters:

N - the type of the precision

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<RealNumber>, Number, RealNumber

public non-sealed interface IrrationalNumber<N extends PositiveInteger>
extends RealNumber

An IrrationalNumber is a RealNumber that is not a RationalNumber. IrrationalNumbers can not be represented precisely and rely on approximation for computation.
