Is there any implementation in phobos of something similar to
BigInt but for non-integers as well? If there isn't is there
a dub package that does this, and if so, which one?
We have this:
https://code.dlang.org/search?q=decimal
I end up using BigInt instead on a custom wrapper that stores
the precision hint. To calculate with any number, it need to
convert each value to the same base (eg. storing 10.234 simply
results in a BigInt with value 10234 and the precision hint of
3) and then forward the operation to BigInt.
I'm already trying to make one, and I have a similar idea, but I
ewant it extended to complex numbers.
Also, what about division and exponentiation. You can't just
forward them to BigInt and get a good result, BigInt will just
round to an integer for these two.
