Can a mathematical function like sin()
be redefined, in Fortran, C or Java code, while preserving the default behavior of other mathematical functions like cos()
? Or can another function named sin()
but that accepts different argument types be defined in addition to the built-in sin()
? I am interested in general features of these languages (I am thinking of applications like the implementation of non-usual number algebras).
I tried to define a sin()
function in a Fortran 95 program, but the intrinsic sin()
function was called instead… Is there a way around this? what about C and Java?
