Extended Plugin Description

REALbasic plug-in adds new data types. Extended Plugin for REALbasic adds five new data types. They are:· ExtInteger· ExtFloat· ExtComplex· IAExtFloatExtFraction ExtInteger is the type ZZ of Victor Shoup's multi-precision library, NTL. Except for available memory, there is no limitation on the size of an ExtInteger. So you can multiply a 100 digit integer by another 100 digit integer giving the exact 200 digit integer. ExtFloat is the type RR of NTL. You can set both the bit precision and the decimal output precision for ExtFloat, with no limitation except for available memory. It might take awhile, but you can now calculate pi in a REALbasic program to a million decimal places, or more. The power of 10 for ExtFloat can range from about -60,000,000 to +60,000,000 as compared to -308 to +308 for a Double. ExtComplex doesn't exist in NTL. I made it from two ExtFloats. So the real and imaginary parts of an ExtComplex use the bit precision and the decimal output precision set for ExtFloat. So you can now use complex numbers with almost unlimited precision. IAExtFloat also doesn't exist in Victor Shoup's NTL. It is a data type which is used for Interval Arithmetic, which is arithmetic with inequalities. An IAExtFloat number is represented by two ExtFloat numbers (a, b), where one thinks of an ExtFloat number x being in the interval between a and b. That is: a What's New in This Release: · Now compatible with the latest versions of REALbasic.
