here it has nothing to do with what a Fourier Transform results in. But like FFT it's speed is O(n), while the speed of plain old "school" multiplication and DFT is O(n²). I suppose in fact it's o(n * ln(n) ) -Michael ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-

It is Karatsuba, actually (he is Russian professor). :) Thanks :) I vaguely remember that although it is asymptotically faster than FFT, implementation is complicated and the time constant is higher, so FFT is used in practice except for really large problems. In this application the make-u

I think , in the long run such a facility may be very useful , because some times it is becoming necessary to resort such techniques . Hmm there is a lot other basic mathematical stuff that is equally important and IMHO should be provided in separate Libraries (such as Jedi). (e.g. Primes
