Returns (x * y) + z, rounded as one ternary operation.
public:
static float FusedMultiplyAdd(float x, float y, float z);
public static float FusedMultiplyAdd (float x, float y, float z);
static member FusedMultiplyAdd : single * single * single -> single
Public Shared Function FusedMultiplyAdd (x As Single, y As Single, z As Single) As Single
Parameters
- x
- Single
The number to be multiplied with y
.
- y
- Single
The number to be multiplied with x
.
- z
- Single
The number to be added to the result of x
multiplied by y
.
Returns
(x * y) + z, rounded as one ternary operation.
Remarks
This computes (x * y)
as if to infinite precision, adds z
to that result as if to infinite precision, and finally rounds to the nearest representable value.
This differs from the non-fused sequence which would compute (x * y)
as if to infinite preicision, round the result to the nearest representable value, add 'z' to the rounded result as if to infinite precision, and finally round to the nearest representable value.
