Exmath

This is a sample application written to learn the implementation of Interoperability of Elixir with C language.

The project's aim is to delegate the work of simple Mathematical function like trigonometry and finding square root, to math.h functions of the C Language.

Elixir supervises the bridge using GenServer(enhancement: a Supervisor over the GenServer later) that connects to the compiled binary of the C program using Ports.

Usage

Currently, this can be tested using the Elixir shell : iex

1. Compile both C and Elixir sources. Just use:

$ iex -S mix

2. Examples

iex> Exmath.sqrt(100)
10.0
iex> Exmath.cos(0)
1.0

Todo

1. Debugging: Add better ways to debug.
