# leading zero parts (except the first) and in base 1eX where X is determined
# automatically at loading time to be the maximum possible value
#
# todo:
# - fully remove funky $# stuff in div() (maybe - that code scares me...)

=head1 NAME

Math::BigInt::Calc - pure Perl module to support Math::BigInt

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    # to use it with Math::BigInt
    use Math::BigInt lib => 'Calc';

    # to use it with Math::BigFloat
    use Math::BigFloat lib => 'Calc';

    # to use it with Math::BigRat
    use Math::BigRat lib => 'Calc';

    # explicitly set base length and whether to "use integer"
    use Math::BigInt::Calc base_len => 4, use_int => 1;
    use Math::BigInt lib => 'Calc';

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Math::BigInt::Calc inherits from Math::BigInt::Lib.

In this library, the numbers are represented interenally in base B = 10**N,
where N is the largest possible integer that does not cause overflow in the
intermediate computations. The base B elements are stored in an array, with the
least significant element stored in array element zero. There are no leading
zero elements, except a single zero element when the number is zero. For
instance, if B = 10000, the number 1234567890 is represented internally as
[7890, 3456, 12].

=head1 OPTIONS

When the module is loaded, it computes the maximum exponent, i.e., power of 10,
that can be used with and without "use integer" in the computations. The default
is to use this maximum exponent. If the combination of the 'base_len' value and
the 'use_int' value exceeds the maximum value, an error is thrown.

=over 4

=item base_len

The base length can be specified explicitly with the 'base_len' option. The
value must be a positive integer.

    use Math::BigInt::Calc base_len => 4;  # use 10000 as internal base

=item use_int

This option is used to specify whether "use integer" should be used in the
internal computations. The value is interpreted as a boolean value, so use 0 or
"" for false and anything else for true. If the 'base_len' is not specified
together with 'use_int', the current value for the base length is used.

    use Math::BigInt::Calc use_int => 1;   # use "use integer" internally

=back

=head1 METHODS

This overview constains only the methods that are specific to
C<Math::BigInt::Calc>. For the other methods, see L<Math::BigInt::Lib>.

=over 4

=item _base_len()

Specify the desired base length and whether to enable "use integer" in the
computations.

    Math::BigInt::Calc -> _base_len($base_len, $use_int);

Note that it is better to specify the base length and whether to use integers as
options when the module is loaded, for example like this

    use Math::BigInt::Calc base_len => 6, use_int => 1;
