universe package

The universe package provides options and primitive functions that are loaded into the Flux runtime by default and do not require an import statement.

Constants

inf

• inf represents a floating point value of infinity.

Options

option now = system.time

now

now is a function option that, by default, returns the current system time.

now() vs system.time()

now() returns the current system time (UTC). now() is cached at runtime, so all executions of now() in a Flux script return the same time value. system.time() returns the system time (UTC) at which system.time() is executed. Each instance of system.time() in a Flux script returns a unique value.
