Test of integers? Or, round the number if the first two decimal numbers are sufficiently close to 0 or 1?
The following is a MWE, which explains my intention.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{math}
begin{document}
tikzmath{
integer = 4/2; decimal = 5/3;
integerB=1/3*3;
}
$integer$ is an integer, and it should be printed as 2.
And $decimal$ is a decimal number, I would like to round it to 1.7.
Another difficulty is that $integerB$ is an integer in fact,
and should be printed as 1.
end{document}
I wonder if it is possible to test a number to determine it is an integer. Alternatively, it would also be great if it is possible to determine whether the first two decimal numbers are sufficiently close to 0 or 1.

One cannot say from its floating point representation whether the output of an arithmetic operation involving division or non rational operations is actually an integer.
You can consider the l3fp
module of expl3
, available through the package xfp
.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{xfp}
begin{document}
$fpeval{5/3}$ is a decimal number, I would like to round it to
$fpeval{round(5/3,1)}$ or to $fpeval{round(5/3,2)}$
Another difficulty is that $fpeval{(1/3)*3}$ is an integer in fact,
and should be printed as $fpeval{round((1/3)*3,1)}$ or
$fpeval{round((1/3)*3,2)}$.
end{document}

If the accuracy of your numbers is important you might consider farming that out to a computer algebra system (CAS). The sagetex
package relies on the CAS Sage; the documentation can be found on CTAN right here. Documentation on Sage is found here .Sage is not part of the LaTeX distribution (it's big) so it needs to be installed on your computer or, even easier, accessed through a free Cocalc account.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{sagetex}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{math}
begin{document}
begin{sagesilent}
a = 4/2
b = 5/3
c = 1/3*3
end{sagesilent}
$sage{a}$ is an integer, and it should be printed as $sage{a}$.
And $sage{b}$ is not an integer. As a decimal it is approximately
$sage{b.n(digits=6)}$. I would like to round it to $sage{b.n(digits=1)}$.
Another difficulty is that $sage{c}$ is an integer in fact,
and should be printed as $sage{c}$.
end{document}
The output, running in Cocalc, gives:
Notice that Sage interprets your numbers correctly: 4/2 is recognized as 2 and 1/3*3 is recognized as 1. It does need to know the format you want of non integers; but it recognizes that 5/3 is a fraction that can't be reduced and leaves it as a fraction. To force it into a decimal and to specify the number of digits we append .n(digits=6); the documentation is here.

Assuming that this is a question on how to do this with tikzmath, I'd do
documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{math}
begin{document}
tikzmath{
function myint(x) {
if abs(x-round(x)) < 0.1 then { print{x is an integernewline};
return int(round(x));
} else { print{x is not an integernewline};
return x;
}; };
integer = myint(4/2);
decimal = myint(5/3);
integerB= myint(1/3*3);
}
$integer$ is an integer, and it should be printed as 2.
And $pgfmathprintnumber[precision=1]{decimal}$ is a decimal number, I would like to round it to 1.7.
Another difficulty is that $integerB$ is an integer in fact,
and should be printed as 1.
end{document}
Note that I used pgfmathprintnumber
to round to one digit after the dot. Of course, you can remove the print
s.

as1.000285363444

Here's a LuaLaTeX-based solution. integer
(4/2) and integerB
((1/3)*3) evaluate to integers automatically according to Lua rules. The LaTeX macro round
, which takes two arguments, lets users round numbers to a specified set of digits after the decimal marker.
% !TEX TS-program = lualatex
documentclass{article}
% Set up 2 auxilliary Lua functions to round numbers
directlua{
function math.round_int ( x )
return x>=0 and math.floor(x+0.5) or math.ceil(x-0.5)
end
function math.round ( x , n )
return ( math.round_int ( x*10^n ) / 10^n )
end
}
newcommandcomp[1]{directlua{tex.sprint(#1)}}
newcommandround[2]{directlua{tex.sprint(math.round(#1,#2))}}
newcommand{integer}{comp{4/2}}
newcommand{decimal}{comp{5/3}}
newcommand{integerB}{comp{(1/3)*3}}
begin{document}
integer is an integer.
integerB is also an integer.
decimal is a decimal number. I would like to round it to round{decimal}{1}.
end{document}

does(1/7-1/8-1/57)*3192
evaluate to an integer in Lua? (just curious...)
– jfbu
Jan 1 at 13:37

in case answer is yes (perhaps from some distributivity done automatically), I have(1/7 - 1/8 - 1/57)*(3000+192)
up my sleeve :)
– jfbu
Jan 1 at 13:43
@jfbu - Both expressions evaluate to0.99999999999998
(13 nines followed by an 8), using the standard number of significant digits used intex.sprint
. If I reduced that number by 1 or 2 digits, one is back to1
(pun intended).

I thinkxintthefloatexpr
works withxintDigits:=2;
but I am not sure with only 1 digit :) you are really quite a challenge!
