Math::BigInt::FastCalc \- Math::BigInt::Calc with some XS for more speed

\&
\&    # to use it with Math::BigFloat

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Math::BigInt::FastCalc inherits from Math::BigInt::Calc.
.PP
Provides support for big integer calculations. Not intended to be used by
other modules. Other modules which sport the same functions can also be used
to support Math::BigInt, like Math::BigInt::GMP or Math::BigInt::Pari.
.PP
In order to allow for multiple big integer libraries, Math::BigInt was
rewritten to use library modules for core math routines. Any module which
follows the same \s-1API\s0 as this can be used instead by using the following:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    use Math::BigInt lib => \*(Aqlibname\*(Aq;
.Ve
.PP
\&'libname' is either the long name ('Math::BigInt::Pari'), or only the short
version like 'Pari'. To use this library:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    use Math::BigInt lib => \*(AqFastCalc\*(Aq;
.Ve
.PP
The default behaviour is to chose the best internal representation of big
integers, but the base length used in the internal representation can be
specified explicitly. Note that this must be done before Math::BigInt is loaded.
For example,
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    use Math::BigInt::FastCalc base_len => 3;
\&    use Math::BigInt lib => \*(AqFastCalc\*(Aq;
.Ve
.SH "STORAGE"
.IX Header "STORAGE"
Math::BigInt::FastCalc works exactly like Math::BigInt::Calc. Numbers are
stored in decimal form chopped into parts.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
The following functions are now implemented in FastCalc.xs:
.PP
.Vb 6
\&    _is_odd         _is_even        _is_one         _is_zero
\&    _is_two         _is_ten
\&    _zero           _one            _two            _ten
\&    _acmp           _len
\&    _inc            _dec
\&    _\|_strip_zeros   _copy
