fp Plugin 3.4 - Add BigInteger and BigFloat to REALbasic. (Free)

education
fp Plugin 3.4
fp Plugin...Using my own fp multi-precision engine, fp Plugin for REALbasic adds three new data types, BigInteger, BigFloat, and BigComplex.

Except for available memory, there is no limitation on the size of a BigInteger.

BigFloat is a multi-precision floating point number. You can set both the internal precision and the decimal output precision for BigFloat, with no limitation except for available memory. BigComplex is composed of two BigFloats.

fp Plugin itself allows you to construct programs which can handle the three new data types much like doubles and integers are handled. To a large extent the new data types can be freely used with the +, -, *, and / operators, and can be used in comparisons. And most of REALbasic's functions have been overloaded to take the new data types, where it makes sense to do so. Version 2.0 adds Euler's Constant and the Bessel functions for both integer and non-integer orders. Version 2.5 adds the Beta Function, the Incomplete Beta Function, the Error Functions, the Exponential Integral, the Fresnel Integrals, and the Confluent Hypergeometric Function.

I am releasing fp Plugin as freeware with an easy-to-meet license. It is unconditionally available for any use, but is without warranty.

Version 3.4:
  • Adds the function fpExtendedGCD, which implements the Extended Euclidean Algorithm.
