Math-BigNum

Transparent interface to Math::GMPq, Math::GMPz and Math::MPFR.

DESCRIPTION

Math::BigNum provides a correct, intuitive and transparent interface to the GMP and MPFR numerical libraries.

SYNOPSIS

use 5.014;
use Math::BigNum qw(:constant);

# Big numbers
say ((100->fac + 1) / 2);
  # => 466631077219720763408496194281333502453579841321908107 \
  #    342964819476087999966149578044707319880782591431268489 \
  #    60413611879125592605458432000000000000000000000000.5

# Small numbers
say sqrt(1 / 100->fac);     # => 1.035137811175626471320494591657[...]e-79

# Rational numbers
my $x = 2/3;
say $x*3;                   # => 2
say 2/$x;                   # => 3
say $x->as_frac;            # => "2/3"

# Floating-point numbers
say "equal" if (1.1 + 2.2 == 3.3);     # => "equal"
