(** Floating-point arithmetic.

    OCaml's floating-point numbers follow the
    IEEE 754 standard, using double precision (64 bits) numbers.
    Floating-point operations never raise an exception on overflow,
    underflow, division by zero, etc.  Instead, special IEEE numbers
    are returned as appropriate, such as [infinity] for [1.0 /. 0.0],
    [neg_infinity] for [-1.0 /. 0.0], and [nan] ('not a number')
    for [0.0 /. 0.0].  These special numbers then propagate through
    floating-point computations as expected: for instance,
    [1.0 /. infinity] is [0.0], basic arithmetic operations
    ([+.], [-.], [*.], [/.]) with [nan] as an argument return [nan], ...

  (** {2 Sorting} *)

  val sort : (float -> float -> int) -> t -> unit

      and a negative integer if the first is smaller (see below for a
      complete specification).  For example, {!Stdlib.compare} is
      a suitable comparison function.  After calling [sort], the
      array is sorted in place in increasing order.
      [sort] is guaranteed to run in constant heap space
      and (at most) logarithmic stack space.

      The current implementation uses Heap Sort.  It runs in constant
      stack space.

      Specification of the comparison function:
      Let [a] be the floatarray and [cmp] the comparison function. The following
      must be true for all [x], [y], [z] in [a] :
  -      [cmp x y] > 0 if and only if [cmp y x] < 0
  -      if [cmp x y] >= 0 and [cmp y z] >= 0 then [cmp x z] >= 0

      When [sort] returns, [a] contains the same elements as before,
      reordered in such a way that for all i and j valid indices of [a] :
  -      [cmp a.(i) a.(j)] >= 0 if and only if i >= j

  val stable_sort : (float -> float -> int) -> t -> unit
  (** Same as {!sort}, but the sorting algorithm is stable (i.e.
       elements that compare equal are kept in their original order) and
       not guaranteed to run in constant heap space.

       The current implementation uses Merge Sort. It uses a temporary
       floatarray of length [n/2], where [n] is the length of the floatarray.
       It is usually faster than the current implementation of {!sort}. *)
