Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the xint
package. Version number: 1.2 2015-10-10 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - the basic arithmetic implemented in xintcore has been entirely rewritten. The mathematics remains the elementary school one, but the TeX implementation achieves higher speed (except, regarding addition/subtraction, for numbers up to about thirty digits), the gains becoming quite significant for numbers with hundreds of digits. - the inputs must have less than 19959 digits. But computations with thousands of digits take time. - a previously standing limitation of the expression parsers to numbers with less than 5000 digits has been lifted. - new macro for computing the factorials (of integers) as floating point numbers, to which the ! postfix operator inside \xintfloatexpr is mapped. - the macros \xintAdd, \xintSub, ..., now require package xintfrac. With only xintcore or xint loaded, one _must_ use \xintiiAdd, \xintiiSub, ..., or \xintiAdd, \xintiSub, etc... - an effort at randomly shuffling around various pieces of the documentation has been done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/xint More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/xint We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
