Source: bnumexpr.dtx
Version: v1.2b, 2017/07/09 (doc: 2017/07/09)
Author: Jean-Francois Burnol
Info: Expressions with big integers
License: LPPL 1.3c
README: USAGE, INSTALLATION, LICENSE
Usage
The package bnumexpr allows _expandable_ computations with big integers
and the four infix operators +, -, *, / (which does rounded integer
division) familiar from the \numexpr e-TeX parser.
Besides extending the scope to arbitrarily big numbers (and having a
more complete syntax, for example -(1) is legal input), it adds the
truncated division operator //, and its associated modulo /:, the power
operator ^ (or equivalently **), and the factorial post-fix operator !.
The space character as well as the underscore character _ both may serve
to optionally separate digits in long numbers, for better readability of
the input.
For example:
\thebnumexpr ( 92_874_927_979^5 - 31_9792_7979^6 ) / 30!\relax
expands (in two steps) to -4006240736596543944035189.
The \relax ending token is mandatory and will be removed as a result of
the evaluation.
The expression parser is scaled-down from the \xinttheiiexpr...\relax
parser as provided by package xintexpr[1]: it does not handle boolean
operators, dummy or user defined variables, functions, etc...
By default the underlying arithmetic macros are the ones provided by
package xintcore[2] (its release 1.2 is required).
bnumexpr has only one option _custom_ which says to not load xintcore,
and a command \bnumexprsetup to inform the package which macros to use
if not those from xintcore.
Notice that the possibility not to use the xintcore macros might be
removed in the future: perhaps a future release will maintain during
computations a private internal representation (especially taylored
either for the xintcore macros or new ones which would be included
within bnumexpr.sty itself) and the constraints this implies may render
optional use of other macros impossible.
Installation
Obtain bnumexpr.dtx (and possibly, bnumexpr.ins and the README) from
CTAN:
http://www.ctan.org/pkg/bnumexpr
Both "tex bnumexpr.ins" and "tex bnumexpr.dtx" extract from bnumexpr.dtx
the following files:
bnumexpr.sty
this is the style file.
README.md
reconstitutes this README.
bnumexprchanges.tex
lists changes from the initial version.
bnumexpr.tex
can be used to generate the documentation:
- with latex+dvipdfmx: "latex bnumexpr.tex" (thrice) then
"dvipdfmx bnumexpr.dvi".
Ignore dvipdfmx warnings, but if the pdf file has problems with
fonts (possibly from an old dvipdfmx), use then rather pdflatex.
- with pdflatex: "pdflatex bnumexpr.tex" (thrice).
In both cases files README.md and bnumexprchanges.tex must be
present in the same repertory.
without bnumexpr.tex:
"pdflatex bnumexpr.dtx" (thrice) extracts all files and
simultaneously generates the pdf documentation.
Finishing the installation:
bnumexpr.sty --> TDS:tex/latex/bnumexpr/
bnumexpr.dtx --> TDS:source/latex/bnumexpr/
bnumexpr.ins --> TDS:source/latex/bnumexpr/
bnumexpr.pdf --> TDS:doc/latex/bnumexpr/
README --> TDS:doc/latex/bnumexpr/
Files bnumexpr.tex, bnumexprchanges.tex, README.md may be discarded.
