-the following: 'even', 'odd', '+inf', '-inf', 'zero' or 'trunc'.
+the following: 'even', 'odd', '+inf', '-inf', 'zero', 'trunc' or 'common'.
The default rounding mode is 'even'. By using

=head1 METHODS
+Math::BigFloat supports all methods that Math::BigInt supports, except it
+calculates non-integer results when possible. Please see L<Math::BigInt>
+for a full description of each method. Below are just the most important
+differences:
+
=head2 accuracy
$x->accuracy(5); # local for $x
set the number of digits each result should have, with L<precision> you
set the place where to round!
+=head2 bexp()
+
+ $x->bexp($accuracy); # calculate e ** X
+
+Calculates the expression C<e ** $x> where C<e> is Euler's number.
+
+This method was added in v1.82 of Math::BigInt (April 2007).
+
+=head2 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).
+
+=head2 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).
+
+=head2 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).
+
+=head2 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).
+
+=head2 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<batan()>.
+
+This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007).
+
+=head2 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<batan2()>.
+
+This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007).
+
+=head2 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).
+
=head1 Autocreating constants
After C<use Math::BigFloat ':constant'> all the floating point constants
You can change this by using:
- use Math::BigFloat lib => 'BitVect';
+ use Math::BigFloat lib => 'GMP';
+
+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';
+
+To turn the warning into a die(), use 'only' instead:
+
+ use Math::BigFloat only => 'GMP';
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';
-Calc.pm uses as internal format an array of elements of some decimal base
-(usually 1e7, but this might be different for some systems) with the least
-significant digit first, while BitVect.pm uses a bit vector of base 2, most
-significant bit first. Other modules might use even different means of
-representing the numbers. See the respective module documentation for further
-details.
+See the respective low-level library documentation for further details.
Please note that Math::BigFloat does B<not> use the denoted library itself,
but it merely passes the lib argument to Math::BigInt. So, instead of the need
This will load the necessary things (like BigInt) when they are needed, and
automatically.
-Use the lib, Luke! And see L<Using Math::BigInt::Lite> for more details than
-you ever wanted to know about loading a different library.
+See L<Math::BigInt> for more details than you ever wanted to know about using
+a different low-level library.

- use Math::BigFloat with => 'Math::BigInt::Lite';
-
-There is no need to "use Math::BigInt" or "use Math::BigInt::Lite", but you
-can combine these if you want. For instance, you may want to use
-Math::BigInt objects in your main script, too.
+For backwards compatibility reasons it is still possible to
+request a different storage class for use with Math::BigFloat:
- # 2
- use Math::BigInt;
use Math::BigFloat with => 'Math::BigInt::Lite';
-Of course, you can combine this with the C<lib> parameter.
-
- # 3
- use Math::BigFloat with => 'Math::BigInt::Lite', lib => 'GMP,Pari';
-
-There is no need for a "use Math::BigInt;" statement, even if you want to
-use Math::BigInt's, since Math::BigFloat will needs Math::BigInt and thus
-always loads it. But if you add it, add it B<before>:
-
- # 4
- use Math::BigInt;
- use Math::BigFloat with => 'Math::BigInt::Lite', lib => 'GMP,Pari';
-
-Notice that the module with the last C<lib> will "win" and thus
-it's lib will be used if the lib is available:
-
- # 5
- use Math::BigInt lib => 'Bar,Baz';
- use Math::BigFloat with => 'Math::BigInt::Lite', lib => 'Foo';
-
-That would try to load Foo, Bar, Baz and Calc (in that order). Or in other
-words, Math::BigFloat will try to retain previously loaded libs when you
-don't specify it onem but if you specify one, it will try to load them.
-
-Actually, the lib loading order would be "Bar,Baz,Calc", and then
-"Foo,Bar,Baz,Calc", but independent of which lib exists, the result is the
-same as trying the latter load alone, except for the fact that one of Bar or
-Baz might be loaded needlessly in an intermidiate step (and thus hang around
-and waste memory). If neither Bar nor Baz exist (or don't work/compile), they
-will still be tried to be loaded, but this is not as time/memory consuming as
-actually loading one of them. Still, this type of usage is not recommended due
-to these issues.
+However, this request is ignored, as the current code now uses the low-level
+math libary for directly storing the number parts.
-The old way (loading the lib only in BigInt) still works though:
+=head1 EXPORTS
- # 6
- use Math::BigInt lib => 'Bar,Baz';
- use Math::BigFloat;
+C<Math::BigFloat> exports nothing by default, but can export the C<bpi()> method:
-You can even load Math::BigInt afterwards:
+ use Math::BigFloat qw/bpi/;
- # 7
- use Math::BigFloat;
- use Math::BigInt lib => 'Bar,Baz';
+ print bpi(10), "\n";
-But this has the same problems like #5, it will first load Calc
-(Math::BigFloat needs Math::BigInt and thus loads it) and then later Bar or
-Baz, depending on which of them works and is usable/loadable. Since this
-loads Calc unnec., it is not recommended.
-
-Since it also possible to just require Math::BigFloat, this poses the question
-about what libary this will use:
-
- require Math::BigFloat;
- my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(123); $x += 123;
-
-It will use Calc. Please note that the call to import() is still done, but
-only when you use for the first time some Math::BigFloat math (it is triggered
-via any constructor, so the first time you create a Math::BigFloat, the load
-will happen in the background). This means:
-
- require Math::BigFloat;
- Math::BigFloat->import ( lib => 'Foo,Bar' );
+=head1 BUGS
-would be the same as:
+Please see the file BUGS in the CPAN distribution Math::BigInt for known bugs.
- use Math::BigFloat lib => 'Foo, Bar';
+=head1 CAVEATS
-But don't try to be clever to insert some operations in between:
+Do not try to be clever to insert some operations in between switching
+libraries:
require Math::BigFloat;
- my $x = Math::BigFloat->bone() + 4; # load BigInt and Calc
+ my $matter = Math::BigFloat->bone() + 4; # load BigInt and Calc
Math::BigFloat->import( lib => 'Pari' ); # load Pari, too
- $x = Math::BigFloat->bone()+4; # now use Pari
-
-While this works, it loads Calc needlessly. But maybe you just wanted that?
+ my $anti_matter = Math::BigFloat->bone()+4; # now use Pari
-B<Examples #3 is highly recommended> for daily usage.
