Numerical Functions
Numerical functions belong to the predefined functions . The main argument of a numerical function must represent a numerical value. The data type of the return value is determined either by the argument of the function (overloaded functions), or by the function.
Outside of an arithmetic expression , the main argument of a numerical function must be a single, numeric data object. Within an arithmetic expression, the following are possible as main arguments of a numerical function:

Numeric data object

Arithmetic expression

Predefined function

Functional method

The numerical functions are divided into:

General numerical functions

Numerical extremum functions

Floating point functions

Rounding functions

Handleable exceptions
The handleable exceptions that can be raised during the computation of a numerical function are subclasses of the classes
CX_SY_ARITHMETIC_ERROR and CX_SY_CONVERSION_ERROR .
