3. 11.x core/lib/Drupal/Component/Utility/Number.php \Drupal\Component\Utility\Number::validStep()

Verifies that a number is a multiple of a given step.

The implementation assumes it is dealing with IEEE 754 double precision floating point numbers that are used by PHP on most systems.

This is based on the number/range verification methods of webkit.

Parameters

float $value: The value that needs to be checked.

float $step: The step scale factor. Must be positive.

float $offset: (optional) An offset, to which the difference must be a multiple of the given step.

Return value

bool TRUE if no step mismatch has occurred, or FALSE otherwise.

Code

public static function validStep($value, $step, $offset = 0.0) {
    $double_value = (double) abs($value - $offset);
    // The fractional part of a double has 53 bits. The greatest number that
    // could be represented with that is 2^53. If the given value is even bigger
    // than $step * 2^53, then dividing by $step will result in a very small
    // remainder. Since that remainder can't even be represented with a single
    // precision float the following computation of the remainder makes no sense
    // and we can safely ignore it instead.
    if ($double_value / pow(2.0, 53) > $step) {
        return TRUE;
    }
    // Now compute that remainder of a division by $step.
    $remainder = (double) abs($double_value - $step * round($double_value / $step));
    // $remainder is a double precision floating point number. Remainders that
    // can't be represented with single precision floats are acceptable. The
    // fractional part of a float has 24 bits. That means remainders smaller than
    // $step * 2^-24 are acceptable.
    $computed_acceptable_error = (double) ($step / pow(2.0, 24));
    return $computed_acceptable_error >= $remainder || $remainder >= $step - $computed_acceptable_error;
