Floating Point Math Library for PIC32

Microchip’s ANSI C compiler provides full floating point math capability, enabling both the single and double precision floating point operations found in any standard ANSI C compiler. These include functions such as sin, cos, tan, and other common mathematical operations. The standard ANSI C floating point library is part of the MPLAB compiler and is documented in the MPLAB C32 C Libraries Manual. The library works with all PIC32 devices
