## Member Function Documentation

### int sc::P86CFunctional::need\_density\_gradient ()` [virtual]`

Reimplemented from **sc::DenFunctional**.

### void sc::P86CFunctional::point (const PointInputData &, PointOutputData &)` [virtual]`

Implements **sc::DenFunctional**.

### void sc::P86CFunctional::save\_data\_state (StateOut &)` [virtual]`

Save the base classes (with save\_data\_state) and the members in the same order that the **StateIn** CTOR initializes them. This must be implemented by the derived class if the class has data.

Reimplemented from **sc::DenFunctional**.
