Math::BigInt::FastCalc(Perl Programmers Reference GMath::BigInt::FastCalc(3pm)

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

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

DESCRIPTION
       In order to allow for multiple big integer libraries, Math::BigInt was
       rewritten to use library modules for core math routines. Any module
       which follows the same API as this can be used instead by using the
       following:

               use Math::BigInt lib => 'libname';

       'libname' is either the long name ('Math::BigInt::Pari'), or only the
       short version like 'Pari'. To use this library:

               use Math::BigInt lib => 'FastCalc';

       Note that from Math::BigInt v1.76 onwards, FastCalc will be loaded
       automatically, if possible.

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

METHODS
       The following functions are now implemented in FastCalc.xs:

               isodd         iseven        isone         iszero
               istwo         isten
               zero           one            two            ten
               acmp           len
               inc            dec
               stripzeros   copy

AUTHORS
       Original math code by Mark Biggar, rewritten by Tels
        in late 2000.  Separated from BigInt and shaped
       API with the help of John Peacock.

       Fixed, sped-up and enhanced by Tels http://bloodgate.com 2001-2003.
       Further streamlining (apiversion 1 etc.) by Tels 2004-2007.

       Bug-fixing by Peter John Acklam  2010-2011.
