- =head1 NAME
-
- bigint - Transparent big integer support for Perl
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use bignt;
-
- $x = 2 + 4.5,"\n"; # BigInt 6
- print 2 ** 512; # really is what you think it is
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- All operators (including basic math operations) are overloaded. Integer
- constants are created as proper BigInts.
-
- Floating point constants are truncated to integer. All results are also
- trunctaed.
-
- =head2 OPTIONS
-
- bigint recognizes some options that can be passed while loading it via use.
- The options can (currently) be either a single letter form, or the long form.
- The following options exist:
-
- =over 2
-
- =item a or accuracy
-
- This sets the accuracy for all math operations. The argument must be greater
- than or equal to zero. See Math::BigInt's bround() function for details.
-
- perl -Mbigint=a,2 -le 'print 12345+1'
-
- =item p or precision
-
- This sets the precision for all math operations. The argument can be any
- integer. Negative values mean a fixed number of digits after the dot, and
- are <B>ignored</B> since all operations happen in integer space.
- A positive value rounds to this digit left from the dot. 0 or 1 mean round to
- integer and are ignore like negative values.
-
- See Math::BigInt's bfround() function for details.
-
- perl -Mbignum=p,5 -le 'print 123456789+123'
-
- =item t or trace
-
- This enables a trace mode and is primarily for debugging bigint or
- Math::BigInt.
-
- =item l or lib
-
- Load a different math lib, see L<MATH LIBRARY>.
-
- perl -Mbigint=l,GMP -e 'print 2 ** 512'
-
- Currently there is no way to specify more than one library on the command
- line. This will be hopefully fixed soon ;)
-
- =item v or version
-
- This prints out the name and version of all modules used and then exits.
-
- perl -Mbigint=v -e ''
-
- =head2 MATH LIBRARY
-
- Math with the numbers is done (by default) by a module called
- Math::BigInt::Calc. This is equivalent to saying:
-
- use bigint lib => 'Calc';
-
- You can change this by using:
-
- use bigint lib => 'BitVect';
-
- The following would first try to find Math::BigInt::Foo, then
- Math::BigInt::Bar, and when this also fails, revert to Math::BigInt::Calc:
-
- use bigint lib => 'Foo,Math::BigInt::Bar';
-
- Please see respective module documentation for further details.
-
- =head2 INTERNAL FORMAT
-
- The numbers are stored as objects, and their internals might change at anytime,
- especially between math operations. The objects also might belong to different
- classes, like Math::BigInt, or Math::BigInt::Lite. Mixing them together, even
- with normal scalars is not extraordinary, but normal and expected.
-
- You should not depend on the internal format, all accesses must go through
- accessor methods. E.g. looking at $x->{sign} is not a bright idea since there
- is no guaranty that the object in question has such a hash key, nor is a hash
- underneath at all.
-
- =head2 SIGN
-
- The sign is either '+', '-', 'NaN', '+inf' or '-inf' and stored seperately.
- You can access it with the sign() method.
-
- A sign of 'NaN' is used to represent the result when input arguments are not
- numbers or as a result of 0/0. '+inf' and '-inf' represent plus respectively
- minus infinity. You will get '+inf' when dividing a positive number by 0, and
- '-inf' when dividing any negative number by 0.
-
- =head2 METHODS
-
- Since all numbers are now objects, you can use all functions that are part of
- the BigInt API. You can only use the bxxx() notation, and not the fxxx()
- notation, though.
-
- =head1 MODULES USED
-
- C<bigint> is just a thin wrapper around various modules of the Math::BigInt
- family. Think of it as the head of the family, who runs the shop, and orders
- the others to do the work.
-
- The following modules are currently used by bigint:
-
- Math::BigInt::Lite (for speed, and only if it is loadable)
- Math::BigInt
-
- =head1 EXAMPLES
-
- Some cool command line examples to impress the Python crowd ;) You might want
- to compare them to the results under -Mbignum or -Mbigrat:
-
- perl -Mbigint -le 'print sqrt(33)'
- perl -Mbigint -le 'print 2*255'
- perl -Mbigint -le 'print 4.5+2*255'
- perl -Mbigint -le 'print 3/7 + 5/7 + 8/3'
- perl -Mbigint -le 'print 123->is_odd()'
- perl -Mbigint -le 'print log(2)'
- perl -Mbigint -le 'print 2 ** 0.5'
- perl -Mbigint=a,65 -le 'print 2 ** 0.2'
