CTAN update: xint
the daemon cheerfully reports: > Name of contribution: xint > Author's name: Jean-François Burnol > Package version: 1.03 > Location on CTAN: macros/generic/xint/ > Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > -- >version 1.03 of xint (2013/04/14) > >The xint bundle has two new components: >xintfrac.sty Expandable operations on fractions >xintseries.sty Expandable partial sums with xint package > >xintfrac.sty extends the macros of xint.sty to apply to >fractions of arbitrary sizes (please don't type in numerators >or denominators with more than 2147483639 digits, if I may ask). > >As with xint.sty, all computations are done in a manner >compatible with expansion-only context. The computations are >always done exactly and when printing a fraction with an >asked-for given number of digits, all digits are exact. > >xintseries.sty provides some basic functionality to compute >partial sums of series or power series. The computations may be >done exactly or with a truncation at a given number of digits >after the decimal point. > >There have been only some changes to the original xint.sty >macros: in particular, the division is a bit faster, and the >multiplication is a bit slower on less than 50 digits numbers as >it now decides by itself what is the probable best order for the >inputs ; this leads to potential significant speed gains when one >of the number is much longer than the other. It was also crucial >for the calculus with fractions as the choice of the best order >can not be guessed in advance. > >The documentation has been revised and enlarged. The traditional >Machin algorithm to compute pi is illustrated. Of course, recall >that this is all done without any memory assignments, purely by >macro expansion, and xintseries is thus no threat to the >computing software industry. > >All components of the xint bundle may be used either with Plain >TeX or with LaTeX. > >Please report bugs to the author. thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.ctan.org/pkg/xint > or they may browse the package directory at > http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/xint/ Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team ___ Ctan-ann mailing list Ctan-ann@dante.de https://lists.dante.de/mailman/listinfo/ctan-ann
