Re: True 64-bit Applications in PureBasic and Huge Numeric T

Danilo:

Your posts are appreciated. You used your mind — ‘cuz you do have a mind — and wrote heads-up posts.

I would have moved to C/C++ if I it had happened at least10 years ago. I have written lots of programs with thousands of lines of code each. Migration to another programming language is ...

skywalk, luis, kuron et al.:

You are NOTHING but a bunch of stupidiots — envious, resentful, and struck by BIPOLAR DISORDER. Another member here gave you a good piece of advice: Google my name and then google your names!!! You are inexistent nullities (NULL like in C)! You only know to kick arse ...

Re: True 64-bit Applications in PureBasic and Huge Numeric T

skywalk, luis et al.:

Envy hurts badly those with a deep complex of inferiority. You don’t even capitalize your names …

What have you created — any useful programs? NOT! You just ruminate in choking pain …

As of PureBasic , basically I said it is not BASIC at all. It is more like C. So, what? It ...

Again, your info is appreciated. However, you seem to advertise for … Microsoft! In fact, Intel themselves advertize for Micro$oft! All that expensive Intel suite must-have an installed Micro$oft Visual Studio, and especially Microsoft Visual C++!

What the Bloody F**k is that for? An Intel ...

Zach:

I remember reading through a back issue of Run! (C64 Magazine) some code for a lottery program someone wrote. I'd always been fascinated with the idea, but assumed I'd never have the understanding to write something even marginally accurate.

Forget about it! PureBasic is ill-suited for ...

It's about US$ 1,500 / 900 Euro initial product price for the complete suite, but only US$ 600 / 360 Euro per year for support and upgrades.

Now, that’s affordable :lol: In all fairness, however, I would trust Intel the most, by far. Intel makes the CHIP!

Thanks for the info, really. It ...

@Shield - As of huge numbers, I seem to be out of luck! I suggest the PureBasic team to take a look at the Japanese UBasic. It was created by an academic — he should be a more reasonable ...

Re: True 64-bit Applications in PureBasic and Huge Numeric T

I said CURRENCY, when, in fact, I was referring to the VB data type known as DOUBLE (precision). Here is what the MSDN Library writes (serves as the help facility for all Visual Studio components). I posted about it in another programming forum in 2008. I copied and pasted from MSDN Library (as of ...

Re: True 64-bit Applications in PureBasic and Huge Numeric T

I downloaded and installed PureBasic for 64-bit Windows about an hour ago. I am really impressed! The editor has a CLASSY look — reminds me of Visual Basic 6. PureBasic editor has a more modern appearance, however. Probably the European stylish thingy!

Since this is a European creation, I was a ...

Re: True 64-bit Applications in PureBasic and Huge Numeric T

Shield:

It's not that hard to write an arbitrary precision class just for integers.

See, that term, arbitrary scares me. I want total precision, not arbitrary. One good assembly programmer told me the same thing, that’s not too hard to write your own mathematical libraries, etc.

Ultimate ...

Re: True 64-bit Applications in PureBasic and Huge Numeric T

Only for the built-in types.
But that's why those libraries exist. Of course using such a library is slower than using plain integers because the processor is not optimized for such large numbers.

My most serious problem is VALIDATION. Who is the third-party who validates the precision of a math ...

Re: True 64-bit Applications in PureBasic and Huge Numeric T

Shield:

Thank you so much for your prompt reply.

Now, it is reassuring that PureBasic creates true 64-bit applications in formless (console) state. I am not a fan of GUI-applications because the windows mean an overhead for my software. My programs are numerical-intense and need as much speed as ...

True 64-bit Applications in PureBasic and Huge Numeric Types

Hello, programming colleagues of mine!

Like many of you, I started with basic … BASIC — from GWBasic, to QuickBasic, to Microsoft PDS Basic, to Visual Basic. Meanwhile, I adopted also the PowerBasic console compiler (PBCC) of a much smaller company (probably a one-man show).

I preferred the speed ...
