bnumexpr

package.

Summary description: Extends eTeX’s umexpr... elax construct to big integers

Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package bnumexpr allows _expandable_ computations with big integers, the four infix operators +, -, *, / (which does rounded division), the power operators ^ or **, the factorial !, the truncated division //, and its associated modulo /:.

For example:

hebnumexpr (92874927979^5-3197927979^6)/30! elax

outputs -4006240736596543944035189.

By default the underlying arithmetic macros are the ones provided by package xintcore [1] (its release 1.2 is required).

[1] http://www.ctan.org/pkg/xint

bnumexpr has only one option _custom_ which says to not load xintcore, and a command numexprsetup to inform the package which macros to use if not those from xintcore.

This is a breaking release: some options and commands from v1.1 are not defined anymore (as numexprsetup provides a new interface), and documents which used them will need updating. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
