LogProb - SeqAn API Documentation

# Class LogProb
Value type for computation in log-space.

Defined in | <seqan/basic.h>
Signature | `template <[typename T]> class LogProb;`

## Template Parameters

`T` | Floating number type to use as the basic, defaults to `double`.

## Detailed Description

### Remarks

Internally, the logarithms of the original values are stored. This is numerically more stable for multiplications and large numbers.

This type can be used like an ordinary `double` or `float` value.

### Examples

    LogProb<double> x = 10;
    x *= 3;
    x += 4;
    int y = x;
