CTAN Update: xint
by CTAN Announcements 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the xint package.

Also available: - xintintegers where each #1 will be a umexpr <explicit number> elax - xintdimensions where each #1 will be a dimexpr <explicit dimension> elax. In the latter case the dimensions are internally kept in sp units, there is no loss of accuracy due to conversion in pt's by he. * one breaks out of the infinite loop with xintBreakFor and xintBreakForAndDo (preferably put inside the true or false branch of a conditional as provided by the package itself or the etoolbox package or the ifthen package; there is no question of complete expandability here, so ifthen is allowed). * also new: xintifForFirst, xintifForLast which are expandable conditionals to use in the replacement text of the xintFor and xintFor* loops. Can be nested as expected. * new expandable conditionals xintifCmp and xintifInt The documentation contains a completely expandable implementation of the Quick Sort algorithm, and a graphical illustration of its functioning. It also has a completely expandable prime test and dynamically constructed prime tables and other examples of use of the completely expandable xintApplyUnbraced or non completely expandable xintApplyInline and xintFor, xintFor*. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 .

CTAN Update: xint
by CTAN Announcements 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the xint package. Version number: 1.09c License type: lppl Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Release 1.09c adds new features: * TINYINT(1) and togl are two new functions recognized by the xintexpr parser. They act as in etoolbox boolean expressions (togl requires etoolbox, as it gives the truth value of the named toggle), and may be freely combined using the logic operators &, |, or functions all, any, xor, etc... * new conditional xintifboolexpr {<expr>}{YES}{NO}, where <expr> is written in the xintexpr recognized infix syntax, * the (non-expandable) utility xintApplyInline has been enhanced to be usable in contexts such as alignments where the applied macro may close groups, * xintFor is a new kind of for loop: it uses #1, #2, #3, #4 rather than macros to represent the (comma separated) list items; e.g. xintFor #1 in {a,b,c} do { extbf{#1}}. Despite not being completely expandable, it is nestable, and usable to generate rows in alignments, as it survives the closing of groups via its replacement text, * xintSeq expandably generates arithmetic sequences. Some other changes and code improvements, and improved documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 .
