NAME

6       Math::BigInt::FastCalc - Math::BigInt::Calc with some XS for more speed
7

SYNOPSIS

9       Provides support for big integer calculations. Not intended to be used
10       by other modules. Other modules which sport the same functions can also
11       be used to support Math::BigInt, like Math::BigInt::GMP or
12       Math::BigInt::Pari.
13

DESCRIPTION

15       In order to allow for multiple big integer libraries, Math::BigInt was
16       rewritten to use library modules for core math routines. Any module
17       which follows the same API as this can be used instead by using the
18       following:
19
20               use Math::BigInt lib => 'libname';
21
22       'libname' is either the long name ('Math::BigInt::Pari'), or only the
23       short version like 'Pari'. To use this library:
24
25               use Math::BigInt lib => 'FastCalc';
26
27       Note that from Math::BigInt v1.76 onwards, FastCalc will be loaded
28       automatically, if possible.
29

STORAGE

31       FastCalc works exactly like Calc, in stores the numbers in decimal
32       form, chopped into parts.
33

METHODS

35       The following functions are now implemented in FastCalc.xs:
36
37               _is_odd         _is_even        _is_one         _is_zero
38               _is_two         _is_ten
39               _zero           _one            _two            _ten
40               _acmp           _len
41               _inc            _dec
42               __strip_zeros   _copy

AUTHORS

49       Original math code by Mark Biggar, rewritten by Tels
50       <http://bloodgate.com/> in late 2000.  Separated from BigInt and shaped
51       API with the help of John Peacock.
52
53       Fixed, sped-up and enhanced by Tels http://bloodgate.com 2001-2003.
54       Further streamlining (api_version 1 etc.) by Tels 2004-2007.
