| 172 | =head1 NAME |
| 173 | |
| 174 | bigrat - Transparent BigNumber/BigRational support for Perl |
| 175 | |
| 176 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
| 177 | |
| 178 | use bigrat; |
| 179 | |
| 180 | $x = 2 + 4.5,"\n"; # BigFloat 6.5 |
| 181 | print 1/3 + 1/4,"\n"; # produces 7/12 |
| 182 | |
| 183 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| 184 | |
| 185 | All operators (inlcuding basic math operations) are overloaded. Integer and |
| 186 | floating-point constants are created as proper BigInts or BigFloats, |
| 187 | respectively. |
| 188 | |
| 189 | Other than L<bignum>, this module upgrades to Math::BigRat, meaning that |
| 190 | instead of 2.5 you will get 2+1/2 as output. |
| 191 | |
| 192 | =head2 Modules Used |
| 193 | |
| 194 | C<bigrat> is just a thin wrapper around various modules of the Math::BigInt |
| 195 | family. Think of it as the head of the family, who runs the shop, and orders |
| 196 | the others to do the work. |
| 197 | |
| 198 | The following modules are currently used by bignum: |
| 199 | |
| 200 | Math::BigInt::Lite (for speed, and only if it is loadable) |
| 201 | Math::BigInt |
| 202 | Math::BigFloat |
| 203 | Math::BigRat |
| 204 | |
| 205 | =head2 Math Library |
| 206 | |
| 207 | Math with the numbers is done (by default) by a module called |
| 208 | Math::BigInt::Calc. This is equivalent to saying: |
| 209 | |
| 210 | use bigrat lib => 'Calc'; |
| 211 | |
| 212 | You can change this by using: |
| 213 | |
| 214 | use bigrat lib => 'BitVect'; |
| 215 | |
| 216 | The following would first try to find Math::BigInt::Foo, then |
| 217 | Math::BigInt::Bar, and when this also fails, revert to Math::BigInt::Calc: |
| 218 | |
| 219 | use bigrat lib => 'Foo,Math::BigInt::Bar'; |
| 220 | |
| 221 | Please see respective module documentation for further details. |
| 222 | |
| 223 | =head2 Sign |
| 224 | |
| 225 | The sign is either '+', '-', 'NaN', '+inf' or '-inf'. |
| 226 | |
| 227 | A sign of 'NaN' is used to represent the result when input arguments are not |
| 228 | numbers or as a result of 0/0. '+inf' and '-inf' represent plus respectively |
| 229 | minus infinity. You will get '+inf' when dividing a positive number by 0, and |
| 230 | '-inf' when dividing any negative number by 0. |
| 231 | |
| 232 | =head2 Methods |
| 233 | |
| 234 | Since all numbers are not objects, you can use all functions that are part of |
| 235 | the BigInt or BigFloat API. It is wise to use only the bxxx() notation, and not |
| 236 | the fxxx() notation, though. This makes you independed on the fact that the |
| 237 | underlying object might morph into a different class than BigFloat. |
| 238 | |
| 239 | =head2 Cavaet |
| 240 | |
| 241 | But a warning is in order. When using the following to make a copy of a number, |
| 242 | only a shallow copy will be made. |
| 243 | |
| 244 | $x = 9; $y = $x; |
| 245 | $x = $y = 7; |
| 246 | |
| 247 | If you want to make a real copy, use the following: |
| 248 | |
| 249 | $y = $x->copy(); |
| 250 | |
| 251 | Using the copy or the original with overloaded math is okay, e.g. the |
| 252 | following work: |
| 253 | |
| 254 | $x = 9; $y = $x; |
| 255 | print $x + 1, " ", $y,"\n"; # prints 10 9 |
| 256 | |
| 257 | but calling any method that modifies the number directly will result in |
| 258 | B<both> the original and the copy beeing destroyed: |
| 259 | |
| 260 | $x = 9; $y = $x; |
| 261 | print $x->badd(1), " ", $y,"\n"; # prints 10 10 |
| 262 | |
| 263 | $x = 9; $y = $x; |
| 264 | print $x->binc(1), " ", $y,"\n"; # prints 10 10 |
| 265 | |
| 266 | $x = 9; $y = $x; |
| 267 | print $x->bmul(2), " ", $y,"\n"; # prints 18 18 |
| 268 | |
| 269 | Using methods that do not modify, but testthe contents works: |
| 270 | |
| 271 | $x = 9; $y = $x; |
| 272 | $z = 9 if $x->is_zero(); # works fine |
| 273 | |
| 274 | See the documentation about the copy constructor and C<=> in overload, as |
| 275 | well as the documentation in BigInt for further details. |
| 276 | |
| 277 | =head2 Options |
| 278 | |
| 279 | bignum recognizes some options that can be passed while loading it via use. |
| 280 | The options can (currently) be either a single letter form, or the long form. |
| 281 | The following options exist: |
| 282 | |
| 283 | =over 2 |
| 284 | |
| 285 | =item a or accuracy |
| 286 | |
| 287 | This sets the accuracy for all math operations. The argument must be greater |
| 288 | than or equal to zero. See Math::BigInt's bround() function for details. |
| 289 | |
| 290 | perl -Mbigrat=a,50 -le 'print sqrt(20)' |
| 291 | |
| 292 | =item p or precision |
| 293 | |
| 294 | This sets the precision for all math operations. The argument can be any |
| 295 | integer. Negative values mean a fixed number of digits after the dot, while |
| 296 | a positive value rounds to this digit left from the dot. 0 or 1 mean round to |
| 297 | integer. See Math::BigInt's bfround() function for details. |
| 298 | |
| 299 | perl -Mbigrat=p,-50 -le 'print sqrt(20)' |
| 300 | |
| 301 | =item t or trace |
| 302 | |
| 303 | This enables a trace mode and is primarily for debugging bignum or |
| 304 | Math::BigInt/Math::BigFloat. |
| 305 | |
| 306 | =item l or lib |
| 307 | |
| 308 | Load a different math lib, see L<MATH LIBRARY>. |
| 309 | |
| 310 | perl -Mbigrat=l,GMP -e 'print 2 ** 512' |
| 311 | |
| 312 | Currently there is no way to specify more than one library on the command |
| 313 | line. This will be hopefully fixed soon ;) |
| 314 | |
| 315 | =item v or version |
| 316 | |
| 317 | This prints out the name and version of all modules used and then exits. |
| 318 | |
| 319 | perl -Mbigrat=v |
| 320 | |
| 321 | =head1 EXAMPLES |
| 322 | |
| 323 | perl -Mbigrat -le 'print sqrt(33)' |
| 324 | perl -Mbigrat -le 'print 2*255' |
| 325 | perl -Mbigrat -le 'print 4.5+2*255' |
| 326 | perl -Mbigrat -le 'print 3/7 + 5/7 + 8/3' |
| 327 | perl -Mbigrat -le 'print 12->is_odd()'; |
