pbAPM - Arbitrary Precision Math Lib

freedimension · Post by **freedimension** » Sun Nov 02, 2003 6:45 pm

Here is an arbitrary precision math userlib.

http://www.pan-galactic-gargle-blaster.de/pbAPM.zip (ca. 60k)

With this lib you can calculate nearly everything, Pi for example is contained as a 512 digits constant.
Nearly every arithmetical, trigonometric etc. function is available.

Who said you can't do scientific work with PureBasic???

have you looked at the cephes or qlib library? http://www.moshier.net/#Cephes
it's freely distributable, and it would be interesting to have the library available for PB.

It's not a site, it's a download...

*testing*

... , and one that exists, that's for sure. Try again. If you've still problems I could mail you a copy.

What's so special about it? Long doubles (128k)? Can do, but without this lib, IMHO LCC supports this already. Complex numbers? Too complex for me, I only make Libs that I'm in need of for myself.

Here is the new Version 0.6
http://www.pan-galactic-gargle-blaster.de/pbAPM.zip

The functions are now mostly threadsafe, so you can calculate in the background without stalling the GUI.
