# Package to store unsigned big integers in decimal and do math with them

# Internally the numbers are stored in an array with at least 1 element, no
# leading zero parts (except the first) and in base 1eX where X is determined
# automatically at loading time to be the maximum possible value

# todo:
# - fully remove funky $# stuff in div() (maybe - that code scares me...)

# USE_MUL: due to problems on certain os (os390, posix-bc) "* 1e-5" is used
# instead of "/ 1e5" at some places, (marked with USE_MUL). Other platforms
# BS2000, some Crays need USE_DIV instead.
# The BEGIN block is used to determine which of the two variants gives the
# correct result.

# Beware of things like:
# $i = $i * $y + $car; $car = int($i / $BASE); $i = $i % $BASE;
# This works on x86, but fails on ARM (SA1100, iPAQ) due to who knows what
# reasons. So, use this instead (slower, but correct):
# $i = $i * $y + $car; $car = int($i / $BASE); $i -= $BASE * $car;

=head1 NAME

Math::BigInt::Calc - Pure Perl module to support Math::BigInt

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    # to use it with Math::BigInt
    use Math::BigInt lib => 'Calc';

    # to use it with Math::BigFloat
    use Math::BigFloat lib => 'Calc';

    # to use it with Math::BigRat
    use Math::BigRat lib => 'Calc';

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Math::BigInt::Calc inherits from Math::BigInt::Lib.

In this library, the numbers are represented in base B = 10**N, where N is the
largest possible value that does not cause overflow in the intermediate
computations. The base B elements are stored in an array, with the least
significant element stored in array element zero. There are no leading zero
elements, except a single zero element when the number is zero.

For instance, if B = 10000, the number 1234567890 is represented internally
as [7890, 3456, 12].

=head1 SEE ALSO

L<Math::BigInt::Lib> for a description of the API.

Alternative libraries L<Math::BigInt::FastCalc>, L<Math::BigInt::GMP>, and
L<Math::BigInt::Pari>.

Some of the modules that use these libraries L<Math::BigInt>,
L<Math::BigFloat>, and L<Math::BigRat>.
