If non-@cpp nullptr @ce, value behind the pointer is used as initial compensation value and the resulting value is Calculates a sum of a large range of floating-point numbers with roundoff error compensation. Compared to for example @ref std::accumulate() the algorithm significantly reduces numerical error in the total. See the [Kahan summation algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm) article on Wikipedia for an in-depth explanation. Example with summation of a hundred million ones: @snippet MagnumMathAlgorithms.cpp kahanSum If required, it is also possible to use this algorithm on non-contiguous ranges or single values (for example when calculating sum of pixel values in an image with some row padding or when the inputs are generated / converted from other values): @snippet MagnumMathAlgorithms.cpp kahanSum-iterative */ template())>::type> T kahanSum(Iterator begin, Iterator end, T sum = T(0), T* compensation = nullptr) { T c = compensation ? *compensation : T(0); for(Iterator it = begin; it != end; ++it) { const T y = *it - c; const T t = sum + y; c = (t - sum) - y; sum = t; } if(compensation) *compensation = c; return sum; } }}} #endif
