#NAME

Math::BigInt::FastCalc - Math::BigInt::Calc with some XS for more speed

#SYNOPSIS

# to use it with Math::BigIntuse Math::BigInt lib => 'FastCalc';# to use it with Math::BigFloatuse Math::BigFloat lib => 'FastCalc';# to use it with Math::BigRatuse Math::BigRat lib => 'FastCalc';

#DESCRIPTION

Math::BigInt::FastCalc inherits from Math::BigInt::Calc.

Provides support for big integer calculations. Not intended to be used by other modules. Other modules which sport the same functions can also be used to support Math::BigInt, likeMath::BigInt::GMP orMath::BigInt::Pari.

In order to allow for multiple big integer libraries, Math::BigInt was rewritten to use library modules for core math routines. Any module which follows the same API as this can be used instead by using the following:

use Math::BigInt lib => 'libname';

'libname' is either the long name ('Math::BigInt::Pari'), or only the short version like 'Pari'. To use this library:

use Math::BigInt lib => 'FastCalc';

#STORAGE

Math::BigInt::FastCalc works exactly like Math::BigInt::Calc. Numbers are stored in decimal form chopped into parts.

#METHODS

The following functions are now implemented in FastCalc.xs:

_is_odd_is_even_is_one_is_zero_is_two_is_ten_zero_one_two_ten_acmp_len_inc_dec__strip_zeros_copy
