bigrat - Perl 用の透過的な BigNumber/BigRational 対応

概要¶

  use bigrat;

  print 2 + 4.5,"\n";                   # BigFloat 6.5
  print 1/3 + 1/4,"\n";                 # produces 7/12

  {
    no bigrat;
    print 1/3,"\n";                     # 0.33333...
  }

  # Note that this will make hex() and oct() be globally overriden:
  use bigrat qw/hex oct/;
  print hex("0x1234567890123490"),"\n";
  print oct("01234567890123490"),"\n";

説明¶

(基本算術演算子を含む)全ての演算子がオーバーロードされます。 整数定数と浮動小数点数定数はそれぞれ適切な BigInt または BigFloat として 作成されます。

Other than bignum, this module upgrades to Math::BigRat, meaning that instead of 2.5 you will get 2+1/2 as output. (TBT)

使用するモジュール¶

bigrat is just a thin wrapper around various modules of the Math::BigInt family. Think of it as the head of the family, who runs the shop, and orders the others to do the work. (TBT)

The following modules are currently used by bignum: (TBT)

        Math::BigInt::Lite      (for speed, and only if it is loadable)
        Math::BigInt
        Math::BigFloat
        Math::BigRat

算術ライブラリ¶

Math with the numbers is done (by default) by a module called Math::BigInt::Calc. This is equivalent to saying: (TBT)

        use bigrat lib => 'Calc';

You can change this by using: (TBT)

        use bignum lib => '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: (TBT)

        use bigrat lib => 'Foo,Math::BigInt::Bar';

Using lib warns if none of the specified libraries can be found and Math::BigInt did fall back to one of the default libraries. To supress this warning, use try instead: (TBT)

        use bignum try => 'GMP';

If you want the code to die instead of falling back, use only instead: (TBT)

        use bignum only => 'GMP';

Please see respective module documentation for further details. (TBT)

符号¶

The sign is either '+', '-', 'NaN', '+inf' or '-inf'. (TBT)

A sign of 'NaN' is used to represent the result when input arguments are not numbers or as a result of 0/0. '+inf' and '-inf' represent plus respectively minus infinity. You will get '+inf' when dividing a positive number by 0, and '-inf' when dividing any negative number by 0. (TBT)

メソッド¶

Since all numbers are not objects, you can use all functions that are part of the BigInt or BigFloat API. It is wise to use only the bxxx() notation, and not the fxxx() notation, though. This makes you independed on the fact that the underlying object might morph into a different class than BigFloat. (TBT)

inf()

A shortcut to return Math::BigInt->binf(). Useful because Perl does not always handle bareword inf properly.

e

        # perl -Mbigrat=e -wle 'print e'

Returns Euler's number e, aka exp(1).

Returns Euler's number e, aka exp(1). (TBT)

PI

        # perl -Mbigrat=PI -wle 'print PI'

Returns PI.

Returns PI. (TBT)

bexp()

        bexp($power,$accuracy);

Returns Euler's number e raised to the appropriate power, to the wanted accuracy.

Returns Euler's number e raised to the appropriate power, to the wanted accuracy. (TBT)

Example:

Example: (TBT)

        # perl -Mbigrat=bexp -wle 'print bexp(1,80)'

bpi()

        bpi($accuracy);

Returns PI to the wanted accuracy.

Returns PI to the wanted accuracy. (TBT)

Example:

Example: (TBT)

        # perl -Mbigrat=bpi -wle 'print bpi(80)'

upgrade()

Return the class that numbers are upgraded to, is in fact returning $Math::BigInt::upgrade.

Return the class that numbers are upgraded to, is in fact returning $Math::BigInt::upgrade. (TBT)

in_effect()

        use bigrat;

        print "in effect\n" if bigrat::in_effect;       # true
        {
          no bigrat;
          print "in effect\n" if bigrat::in_effect;     # false
        }

Returns true or false if bigrat is in effect in the current scope.

算術ライブラリ¶

Math with the numbers is done (by default) by a module called (TBT)

Cavaet¶

But a warning is in order. When using the following to make a copy of a number, only a shallow copy will be made. (TBT)

        $x = 9; $y = $x;
        $x = $y = 7;

If you want to make a real copy, use the following: (TBT)

        $y = $x->copy();

Using the copy or the original with overloaded math is okay, e.g. the following work: (TBT)

        $x = 9; $y = $x;
        print $x + 1, " ", $y,"\n";     # prints 10 9

but calling any method that modifies the number directly will result in both the original and the copy being destroyed: (TBT)

        $x = 9; $y = $x;
        print $x->badd(1), " ", $y,"\n";        # prints 10 10

        $x = 9; $y = $x;
        print $x->binc(1), " ", $y,"\n";        # prints 10 10

        $x = 9; $y = $x;
        print $x->bmul(2), " ", $y,"\n";        # prints 18 18

Using methods that do not modify, but testthe contents works: (TBT)

        $x = 9; $y = $x;
        $z = 9 if $x->is_zero();                # works fine

See the documentation about the copy constructor and = in overload, as well as the documentation in BigInt for further details. (TBT)

オプション¶

bignum recognizes some options that can be passed while loading it via use. The options can (currently) be either a single letter form, or the long form. The following options exist: (TBT)

a or accuracy

This sets the accuracy for all math operations. The argument must be greater than or equal to zero. See Math::BigInt's bround() function for details.

This sets the accuracy for all math operations. The argument must be greater than or equal to zero. See Math::BigInt's bround() function for details. (TBT)

        perl -Mbigrat=a,50 -le 'print sqrt(20)'

Note that setting precision and accurary at the same time is not possible.

p or precision

This sets the precision for all math operations. The argument can be any integer. Negative values mean a fixed number of digits after the dot, while a positive value rounds to this digit left from the dot. 0 or 1 mean round to integer. See Math::BigInt's bfround() function for details.

l or lib

        perl -Mbigrat=l,GMP -e 'print 2 ** 512'

Currently there is no way to specify more than one library on the command line. This means the following does not work:

This will be hopefully fixed soon ;)

hex

Override the built-in hex() method with a version that can handle big integers. Note that under Perl v5.9.4 or ealier, this will be global and cannot be disabled with "no bigint;".

hex()/oct()

bigint overrides these routines with versions that can also handle big integer values. Under Perl prior to version v5.9.4, however, this will not happen unless you specifically ask for it with the two import tags "hex" and "oct" - and then it will be global and cannot be disabled inside a scope with "no bigint":
