Function Documentation

int regina::getVersionMajor (  ) 

Returns the major version number of this calculation engine.

For instance, version 2.3.1 would have major version 2.

Returns:
the major version number of this calculation engine.

int regina::getVersionMinor (  ) 

Returns the minor version number of this calculation engine.

For instance, version 2.3.1 would have minor version 3.

Returns:
the minor version number of this calculation engine.

const char* regina::getVersionString (  ) 

Returns the full version number of this calculation engine.

For instance, version 2.3.1 would have full version "2.3.1".

Returns:
the version of this calculation engine.

int regina::testEngine ( int  value  ) 

Tests to see if an interface can successfully communicate with the underlying C++ calculation engine.

This routine simply uses the engine to return the same value that is passed to it; it can be used to test whether communications between the interface and the C++ engine are working properly.

Parameters:
value any integer; this same integer will be returned.
Returns:
the same integer that was passed as value.
