# [−] [src] Trait num_traits::ops::mul_add::MulAdd

    pub trait MulAdd<A = Self, B = Self> {
        type Output;
        fn mul_add(self, a: A, b: B) -> Self::Output;
    }

Fused multiply-add. Computes `(self * a) + b` with only one rounding error, yielding a more accurate result than an unfused multiply-add.

Using `mul_add` can be more performant than an unfused multiply-add if the target architecture has a dedicated `fma` CPU instruction.

Note that `A` and `B` are `Self` by default, but this is not mandatory.

# Example

    use std::f32;

    let m = 10.0_f32;
    let x = 4.0_f32;
    let b = 60.0_f32;

    // 100.0
    let abs_difference = (m.mul_add(x, b) - (m*x + b)).abs();

    assert!(abs_difference <= f32::EPSILON);

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
