Math::BigInt::FastCalc - Math::BigInt::Calc with some XS for more speed
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';Note that fromMath::BigInt v1.76 onwards, FastCalc will be loaded automatically, if possible.
FastCalc works exactly like Calc, in stores the numbers in decimal form, chopped into parts.
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_copyThis program is free software; you may redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
Original math code by Mark Biggar, rewritten by Telshttp://bloodgate.com/ in late 2000. Separated from BigInt and shaped API with the help of John Peacock.
Fixed, sped-up and enhanced by Tels http://bloodgate.com 2001-2003. Further streamlining (api_version 1 etc.) by Tels 2004-2007.
Bug-fixing by Peter John Acklam <pjacklam@online.no> 2010-2011.
