Hi Jason,
That's awesome, thanks a lot! I had a bit of trouble understanding the
documentation of partial, but your example helped tremendously. This
should definitely be included in any upcoming documentation on
fast_float. As far as I understand, partial(F,1) just replaces the first
variable in F by 1. If I define something like F = fast_float(a*x^3 +
b*x^2 + c*x + d, 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'x'), could I then use partial to
replace a, b, d and x and leave c as a variable, or would I have to
re-define F to take c as the last argument?
Cheers,
Stan
