3/*
4 C program for floating point error function
5
6 erf(x) returns the error function of its argument
7 erfc(x) returns 1.0-erf(x)
8
9 erf(x) is defined by
10 ${2 over sqrt(pi)} int from 0 to x e sup {-t sup 2} dt$
11
12 the entry for erfc is provided because of the
13 extreme loss of relative accuracy if erf(x) is
14 called for large x and the result subtracted
15 from 1. (e.g. for x= 10, 12 places are lost).
16
17 There are no error returns.
18
19 Calls exp.
20
21 Coefficients for large x are #5667 from Hart & Cheney (18.72D).
