The tests for these functions come in two parts: basic sanity checks use
|
|
spot values calculated using <a href="http://functions.wolfram.com/webMathematica/FunctionEvaluation.jsp?name=ExpIntegralE" target="_top">Mathworld's
|
|
online evaluator</a>, while accuracy checks use high-precision test values
|
|
calculated at 1000-bit precision with <a href="http://shoup.net/ntl/doc/RR.txt" target="_top">NTL::RR</a>
|
|
and this implementation. Note that the generic and type-specific versions
|
|
of these functions use differing implementations internally, so this gives
|
|
us reasonably independent test data. Using our test data to test other "known
|
|
good" implementations also provides an additional sanity check.
