Math::BigInt::FastCalc(Perl Programmers Reference GMath::BigInt::FastCalc(3pm)
NAME
Math::BigInt::FastCalc - Math::BigInt::Calc with some XS for more speed
SYNOPSIS
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, like Math::BigInt::GMP or
Math::BigInt::Pari.
DESCRIPTION
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 from Math::BigInt v1.76 onwards, FastCalc will be loaded
automatically, if possible.
STORAGE
FastCalc works exactly like Calc, in stores the numbers 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

AUTHORS
Original math code by Mark Biggar, rewritten by Tels
<http://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 AT online.no> 2010-2011.
