Feel free to ask questions. I may add to this library in the future.
This library currently contains the following operations:
  • sum(list/l)
  • squaresum(list/l)
  • mean(list/l)
  • variance(list/l)
  • standarddev(list/l)
  • factorial(n)
  • nPr(n,r)
  • nCr(n,r)
  • integer(n)
  • sign(n)
  • deg2rad(n)
  • rad2deg(n)
  • pyth(a,b)
  • arcpyth(a,c)
  • triarea(a,b,C)
  • tan(n)
  • cot(n)
  • sec(n)
  • csc(n)
  • arctan(n)
  • arccot(n)
  • arcsec(n)
  • arccsc(n)
  • arctan2(x,y)

That should return 180

A few notes on extremely tiny optimization:

I've actually found in my ProcLib tests that sign is (oddly enough) faster this way:

That is odd indeed. I wrote two different versions, and they're both faster than your version by about %10-15. Oddly enough(heh), it uses ternary operators as well.

sign_1(x) return (x < 0) ? -1 : (x > 0)
sign_2(x) return (x > 0) - (x < 0)

I guess DM's compiler is rather crappy at optimizing code.

EDIT: In newer versions, yours might(I haven't tested it yet) actually be faster since Lummox JR optimized abs() along with some other math functions.

Na looks like that library can't do it

Try this library!

Can you add a proc that can order mobs based on a variable's number? I have mobs and they each have a speed. I want to make it so they are added to a list or something from the order of their speed from highest to lowest so that the faster you are the sooner your turn comes.
