Additionally, numbers are allowed to have an underscore between any two digits. Empty strings as well as other illegal numbers results in 'NaN'. bnorm() on a BigFloat object is now effectively a no-op, since the numbers are always stored in normalized form. On a string, it creates a BigFloat object. =head2 Output Output values are BigFloat objects (normalized), except for bstr() and bsstr(). The string output will always have leading and trailing zeros stripped and drop a plus sign. C will give you always the form with a decimal point, while C (s for scientific) gives you the scientific notation. Input bstr() bsstr() '-0' '0' '0E1' ' -123 123 123' '-123123123' '-123123123E0' '00.0123' '0.0123' '123E-4' '123.45E-2' '1.2345' '12345E-4' '10E+3' '10000' '1E4' Some routines (C, C, C, C, C) return true or false, while others (C, C) return either undef, <0, 0 or >0 and are suited for sort. Actual math is done by using the class defined with C<< with => Class; >> (which defaults to BigInts) to represent the mantissa and exponent. The sign C is stored separately. The string 'NaN' is used to represent the result when input arguments are not numbers, and 'inf' and '-inf' are used to represent positive and negative infinity, respectively. =head2 mantissa(), exponent() and parts() mantissa() and exponent() return the said parts of the BigFloat as BigInts such that: $m = $x->mantissa(); $e = $x->exponent(); $y = $m * ( 10 ** $e ); print "ok\n" if $x == $y; C<< ($m,$e) = $x->parts(); >> is just a shortcut giving you both of them. Currently the mantissa is reduced as much as possible, favouring higher exponents over lower ones (e.g. returning 1e7 instead of 10e6 or 10000000e0). This might change in the future, so do not depend on it. =head2 Accuracy vs. Precision See also: L. Math::BigFloat supports both precision (rounding to a certain place before or after the dot) and accuracy (rounding to a certain number of digits). For a full documentation, examples and tips on these topics please see the large section about rounding in L. Since things like C or C<1 / 3> must presented with a limited accuracy lest a operation consumes all resources, each operation produces no more than the requested number of digits. If there is no global precision or accuracy set, B the operation in question was not called with a requested precision or accuracy, B the input $x has no accuracy or precision set, then a fallback parameter will be used. For historical reasons, it is called C and can be accessed via: $d = Math::BigFloat->div_scale(); # query Math::BigFloat->div_scale($n); # set to $n digits The default value for C is 40. In case the result of one operation has more digits than specified, it is rounded. The rounding mode taken is either the default mode, or the one supplied to the operation after the I: $x = Math::BigFloat->new(2); Math::BigFloat->accuracy(5); # 5 digits max $y = $x->copy()->bdiv(3); # will give 0.66667 $y = $x->copy()->bdiv(3,6); # will give 0.666667 $y = $x->copy()->bdiv(3,6,undef,'odd'); # will give 0.666667 Math::BigFloat->round_mode('zero'); $y = $x->copy()->bdiv(3,6); # will also give 0.666667 Note that C<< Math::BigFloat->accuracy() >> and C<< Math::BigFloat->precision() >> set the global variables, and thus B newly created number will be subject to the global rounding B. This means that in the examples above, the C<3> as argument to C will also get an accuracy of B<5>. It is less confusing to either calculate the result fully, and afterwards round it explicitly, or use the additional parameters to the math functions like so: use Math::BigFloat; $x = Math::BigFloat->new(2); $y = $x->copy()->bdiv(3); print $y->bround(5),"\n"; # will give 0.66667 or use Math::BigFloat; $x = Math::BigFloat->new(2); $y = $x->copy()->bdiv(3,5); # will give 0.66667 print "$y\n"; =head2 Rounding =over =item bfround ( +$scale ) Rounds to the $scale'th place left from the '.', counting from the dot. The first digit is numbered 1. =item bfround ( -$scale ) Rounds to the $scale'th place right from the '.', counting from the dot. =item bfround ( 0 ) Rounds to an integer. =item bround ( +$scale ) Preserves accuracy to $scale digits from the left (aka significant digits) and pads the rest with zeros. If the number is between 1 and -1, the significant digits count from the first non-zero after the '.' =item bround ( -$scale ) and bround ( 0 ) These are effectively no-ops. =back All rounding functions take as a second parameter a rounding mode from one of the following: 'even', 'odd', '+inf', '-inf', 'zero', 'trunc' or 'common'. The default rounding mode is 'even'. By using C<< Math::BigFloat->round_mode($round_mode); >> you can get and set the default mode for subsequent rounding. The usage of C<$Math::BigFloat::$round_mode> is no longer supported. The second parameter to the round functions then overrides the default temporarily. The C function returns a BigInt from a Math::BigFloat. It uses 'trunc' as rounding mode to make it equivalent to: $x = 2.5; $y = int($x) + 2; You can override this by passing the desired rounding mode as parameter to C: $x = Math::BigFloat->new(2.5); $y = $x->as_number('odd'); # $y = 3 =head1 METHODS Math::BigFloat supports all methods that Math::BigInt supports, except it calculates non-integer results when possible. Please see L for a full description of each method. Below are just the most important differences: =over =item accuracy() $x->accuracy(5); # local for $x CLASS->accuracy(5); # global for all members of CLASS # Note: This also applies to new()! $A = $x->accuracy(); # read out accuracy that affects $x $A = CLASS->accuracy(); # read out global accuracy Set or get the global or local accuracy, aka how many significant digits the results have. If you set a global accuracy, then this also applies to new()! Warning! The accuracy I, e.g. once you created a number under the influence of C<< CLASS->accuracy($A) >>, all results from math operations with that number will also be rounded. In most cases, you should probably round the results explicitly using one of L, L or L or by passing the desired accuracy to the math operation as additional parameter: my $x = Math::BigInt->new(30000); my $y = Math::BigInt->new(7); print scalar $x->copy()->bdiv($y, 2); # print 4300 print scalar $x->copy()->bdiv($y)->bround(2); # print 4300 =item precision() $x->precision(-2); # local for $x, round at the second # digit right of the dot $x->precision(2); # ditto, round at the second digit # left of the dot CLASS->precision(5); # Global for all members of CLASS # This also applies to new()! CLASS->precision(-5); # ditto $P = CLASS->precision(); # read out global precision $P = $x->precision(); # read out precision that affects $x Note: You probably want to use L instead. With L you set the number of digits each result should have, with L you set the place where to round! =item bdiv() $q = $x->bdiv($y); ($q, $r) = $x->bdiv($y); In scalar context, divides $x by $y and returns the result to the given or default accuracy/precision. In list context, does floored division (F-division), returning an integer $q and a remainder $r so that $x = $q * $y + $r. The remainer (modulo) is equal to what is returned by C<$x->bmod($y)>. =item bmod() $x->bmod($y); Returns $x modulo $y. When $x is finite, and $y is finite and non-zero, the result is identical to the remainder after floored division (F-division). If, in addition, both $x and $y are integers, the result is identical to the result from Perl's % operator. =item bexp() $x->bexp($accuracy); # calculate e ** X Calculates the expression C where C is Euler's number. This method was added in v1.82 of Math::BigInt (April 2007). =item bnok() $x->bnok($y); # x over y (binomial coefficient n over k) Calculates the binomial coefficient n over k, also called the "choose" function. The result is equivalent to: ( n ) n! | - | = ------- ( k ) k!(n-k)! This method was added in v1.84 of Math::BigInt (April 2007). =item bpi() print Math::BigFloat->bpi(100), "\n"; Calculate PI to N digits (including the 3 before the dot). The result is rounded according to the current rounding mode, which defaults to "even". This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007). =item bcos() my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(1); print $x->bcos(100), "\n"; Calculate the cosinus of $x, modifying $x in place. This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007). =item bsin() my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(1); print $x->bsin(100), "\n"; Calculate the sinus of $x, modifying $x in place. This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007). =item batan2() my $y = Math::BigFloat->new(2); my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(3); print $y->batan2($x), "\n"; Calculate the arcus tanges of C<$y> divided by C<$x>, modifying $y in place. See also L. This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007). =item batan() my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(1); print $x->batan(100), "\n"; Calculate the arcus tanges of $x, modifying $x in place. See also L. This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007). =item bmuladd() $x->bmuladd($y,$z); Multiply $x by $y, and then add $z to the result. This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007). =item as_float() This method is called when Math::BigFloat encounters an object it doesn't know how to handle. For instance, assume $x is a Math::BigFloat, or subclass thereof, and $y is defined, but not a Math::BigFloat, or subclass thereof. If you do $x -> badd($y); $y needs to be converted into an object that $x can deal with. This is done by first checking if $y is something that $x might be upgraded to. If that is the case, no further attempts are made. The next is to see if $y supports the method C. The method C is expected to return either an object that has the same class as $x, a subclass thereof, or a string that Cnew()> can parse to create an object. In Math::BigFloat, C has the same effect as C. =item from_hex() $x -> from_hex("0x1.921fb54442d18p+1"); $x = Math::BigFloat -> from_hex("0x1.921fb54442d18p+1"); Interpret input as a hexadecimal string.A prefix ("0x", "x", ignoring case) is optional. A single underscore character ("_") may be placed between any two digits. If the input is invalid, a NaN is returned. The exponent is in base 2 using decimal digits. If called as an instance method, the value is assigned to the invocand. =item from_bin() $x -> from_bin("0b1.1001p-4"); $x = Math::BigFloat -> from_bin("0b1.1001p-4"); Interpret input as a hexadecimal string. A prefix ("0b" or "b", ignoring case) is optional. A single underscore character ("_") may be placed between any two digits. If the input is invalid, a NaN is returned. The exponent is in base 2 using decimal digits. If called as an instance method, the value is assigned to the invocand. =item from_oct() $x -> from_oct("1.3267p-4"); $x = Math::BigFloat -> from_oct("1.3267p-4"); Interpret input as an octal string. A single underscore character ("_") may be placed between any two digits. If the input is invalid, a NaN is returned. The exponent is in base 2 using decimal digits. If called as an instance method, the value is assigned to the invocand. =back =head1 Autocreating constants After C all the floating point constants in the given scope are converted to C. This conversion happens at compile time. In particular perl -MMath::BigFloat=:constant -e 'print 2E-100,"\n"' prints the value of C<2E-100>. Note that without conversion of constants the expression 2E-100 will be calculated as normal floating point number. Please note that ':constant' does not affect integer constants, nor binary nor hexadecimal constants. Use L or L to get this to work. =head2 Math library Math with the numbers is done (by default) by a module called Math::BigInt::Calc. This is equivalent to saying: use Math::BigFloat lib => 'Calc'; You can change this by using: use Math::BigFloat lib => 'GMP'; B: General purpose packages should not be explicit about the library to use; let the script author decide which is best. Note: The keyword 'lib' will warn when the requested library could not be loaded. To suppress the warning use 'try' instead: use Math::BigFloat try => 'GMP'; If your script works with huge numbers and Calc is too slow for them, you can also for the loading of one of these libraries and if none of them can be used, the code will die: use Math::BigFloat only => 'GMP,Pari'; The following would first try to find Math::BigInt::Foo, then Math::BigInt::Bar, and when this also fails, revert to Math::BigInt::Calc: use Math::BigFloat lib => 'Foo,Math::BigInt::Bar'; See the respective low-level library documentation for further details. Please note that Math::BigFloat does B use the denoted library itself, but it merely passes the lib argument to Math::BigInt. So, instead of the need to do: use Math::BigInt lib => 'GMP'; use Math::BigFloat; you can roll it all into one line: use Math::BigFloat lib => 'GMP'; It is also possible to just require Math::BigFloat: require Math::BigFloat; This will load the necessary things (like BigInt) when they are needed, and automatically. See L for more details than you ever wanted to know about using a different low-level library. =head2 Using Math::BigInt::Lite For backwards compatibility reasons it is still possible to request a different storage class for use with Math::BigFloat: use Math::BigFloat with => 'Math::BigInt::Lite'; However, this request is ignored, as the current code now uses the low-level math library for directly storing the number parts. =head1 EXPORTS C exports nothing by default, but can export the C method: use Math::BigFloat qw/bpi/; print bpi(10), "\n"; =head1 CAVEATS Do not try to be clever to insert some operations in between switching libraries: require Math::BigFloat; my $matter = Math::BigFloat->bone() + 4; # load BigInt and Calc Math::BigFloat->import( lib => 'Pari' ); # load Pari, too my $anti_matter = Math::BigFloat->bone()+4; # now use Pari This will create objects with numbers stored in two different backend libraries, and B will happen when you use these together: my $flash_and_bang = $matter + $anti_matter; # Don't do this! =over =item stringify, bstr() Both stringify and bstr() now drop the leading '+'. The old code would return '+1.23', the new returns '1.23'. See the documentation in L for reasoning and details. =item bdiv() The following will probably not print what you expect: print $c->bdiv(123.456),"\n"; It prints both quotient and remainder since print works in list context. Also, bdiv() will modify $c, so be careful. You probably want to use print $c / 123.456,"\n"; # or if you want to modify $c: print scalar $c->bdiv(123.456),"\n"; instead. =item brsft() The following will probably not print what you expect: my $c = Math::BigFloat->new('3.14159'); print $c->brsft(3,10),"\n"; # prints 0.00314153.1415 It prints both quotient and remainder, since print calls C in list context. Also, C<< $c->brsft() >> will modify $c, so be careful. You probably want to use print scalar $c->copy()->brsft(3,10),"\n"; # or if you really want to modify $c print scalar $c->brsft(3,10),"\n"; instead. =item Modifying and = Beware of: $x = Math::BigFloat->new(5); $y = $x; It will not do what you think, e.g. making a copy of $x. Instead it just makes a second reference to the B object and stores it in $y. Thus anything that modifies $x will modify $y (except overloaded math operators), and vice versa. See L for details and how to avoid that. =item bpow() C now modifies the first argument, unlike the old code which left it alone and only returned the result. This is to be consistent with C etc. The first will modify $x, the second one won't: print bpow($x,$i),"\n"; # modify $x print $x->bpow($i),"\n"; # ditto print $x ** $i,"\n"; # leave $x alone =item precision() vs. accuracy() A common pitfall is to use L when you want to round a result to a certain number of digits: use Math::BigFloat; Math::BigFloat->precision(4); # does not do what you # think it does my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(12345); # rounds $x to "12000"! print "$x\n"; # print "12000" my $y = Math::BigFloat->new(3); # rounds $y to "0"! print "$y\n"; # print "0" $z = $x / $y; # 12000 / 0 => NaN! print "$z\n"; print $z->precision(),"\n"; # 4 Replacing L with L is probably not what you want, either: use Math::BigFloat; Math::BigFloat->accuracy(4); # enables global rounding: my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(123456); # rounded immediately # to "12350" print "$x\n"; # print "123500" my $y = Math::BigFloat->new(3); # rounded to "3 print "$y\n"; # print "3" print $z = $x->copy()->bdiv($y),"\n"; # 41170 print $z->accuracy(),"\n"; # 4 What you want to use instead is: use Math::BigFloat; my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(123456); # no rounding print "$x\n"; # print "123456" my $y = Math::BigFloat->new(3); # no rounding print "$y\n"; # print "3" print $z = $x->copy()->bdiv($y,4),"\n"; # 41150 print $z->accuracy(),"\n"; # undef In addition to computing what you expected, the last example also does B "taint" the result with an accuracy or precision setting, which would influence any further operation. =back =head1 BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to C, or through the web interface at L (requires login).
