Square Function (G Dataflow)

Version:

Generates the square function for any real number.

x

A real number.

error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs. The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Default: No error

square(x)

The value of the square function for the given value of x.

error out

Error information. The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.

Algorithm for Calculating the Square Function

The following equation defines the square function.

$\mathrm{square}\left(x\right)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}1& \text{if}2n\le \text{x}\le 2n+1\\ 0& \text{elsewhere}\end{array}$
where n is an integer.

The following illustration shows the graph for square(x) * square(x - 0.8) in the interval (-4.0, 4.0).

Where This Node Can Run:

Desktop OS: Windows
