Package version: 1.09i Location on CTAN: macros/generic/xint/ Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers License type: lppl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

1.09i 2013/12/18

• xintiiexpr is a variant of xintexpr which is optimized to

deal only with (long) integers, / does a euclidean quotient.

• xintnumexpr has been renamed xintiexpr, (former name kept

but destined to be removed) xintiiexpr is actually closer to

umexpr, but with INT division the euclidean one.

• the xintexpr parser automatically inserts

umber in front of

count, dimen, and skip registers/variables, or

umexpr, etc..

expressions, with a tacit multiplication implied if following a number or parenthesized expression.

• xintAssign admits an optional argument to specify the

expansion type to be used [] (none), [o] (once), [oo] (twice), [f] (full), ... , (the default is [e] which means to use edef).

• xinttools defines (if the names have not already been

assigned) odef, oodef, fdef: oodef which expands twice the macro replacement text is a faster alternative to edef (when the expansion gives hundreds of digits).

• some across the board slight efficiency improvement as a

result of modifications of various types to ``fork'' macros and ``branching conditionals'' which are used internally.
