Module:Math

--[[

This module provides a number of basic mathematical operations.

local yesno, getArgs -- lazily initialized

local p = {} -- Holds functions to be returned from #invoke, and functions to make available to other Lua modules. local wrap = {} -- Holds wrapper functions that process arguments from #invoke. These act as intemediary between functions meant for #invoke and functions meant for Lua.

-- Helper functions used to avoid redundant code.

local function err(msg) -- Generates wikitext error messages. return mw.ustring.format(' Formatting error: %s ', msg) end
