CTAN update: xint

Date: March 20, 2016 8:00:09 PM CET
Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the xint package. Version number: 1.2g 2016-03-19 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers Announcement text:
List selectors [L][n], [L][a:b], in expressions are faster. And items are counted starting at zero, not one ([L][a:b] already followed exactly Python slicing rules). The iter keyword's meaning has changed, new one associated with rseq, former one which is associated to rrseq renamed to iterr. The float operations with large precision handle small inputs faster. The documentation has an example of using iter to implement expandably the Brent-Salamin algorithm for digits of Pi. See CHANGES.{pdf,html} for more.

xint – Expandable arbitrary precision floating point and integer operations

The xint bundle main modules are:

xinttools
utilities of independent interest such as expandable and non-expandable loops,
xintcore
expandable macros implementing addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and powers for arbitrarily long integers,
xint
extension of xintcore,
xintfrac
extends the scope of xint to decimal numbers, to numbers using scientific notation and also to (exact) fractions,
xintexpr
provides expandable parsers of numeric expressions using the standard infix notations, parentheses, built-in functions, user definable functions and variables (and more ...) which do either exact evaluations (also with fractions) or floating point evaluations under a user chosen precision.

Further modules of the bundle are: xintkernel (support macros for all the bundle constituents), xintbinhex (conversion to and from hexadecimal and binary bases), xintgcd (provides gcd() and lcm() functions to xintexpr), xintseries (evaluates numerically partial sums of series and power series with fractional coefficients), and xintcfrac (dedicated to the computation and display of continued fractions).

All computations are compatible with expansion-only context.

The packages may be used with Plain , , or (a priori) any other macro format built upon .
