/**************************************************************************\ MODULE: RR SUMMARY: The class RR is used to represent arbitrary-precision floating point numbers. The functions in this module guarantee very strong accuracy conditions which make it easy to reason about the behavior of programs using these functions. The arithmetic operations always round their results to p bits, where p is the current precision. The current precision can be changed using RR::SetPrecision(), and can be read using RR::precision(). The minimum precision that can be set is 53 bits. The maximum precision is limited only by the word size of the machine. All arithmetic operations are implemented so that the effect is as if the result was computed exactly, and then rounded to p bits. If a number lies exactly half-way between two p-bit numbers, the "round to even" rule is used. So in particular, the computed result will have a relative error of at most 2^{-p}. The above rounding rules apply to all arithmetic operations in this module, except for the following routines: * The transcendental functions: log, exp, log10, expm1, log1p, pow, sin, cos, ComputePi * The power function * The input and ascii to RR conversion functions when using "e"-notation For these functions, a very strong accuracy condition is still guaranteed: the computed result has a relative error of less than 2^{-p + 1} (and actually much closer to 2^{-p}). That is, it is as if the resulted were computed exactly, and then rounded to one of the two neighboring p-bit numbers (but not necessarily the closest). The behavior of all functions in this module is completely platform independent: you should get *exactly* the same results on any platform (the only exception to this rule is the random number generator). Note that because precision is variable, a number may be computed with to a high precision p', and then be used as input to an arithmetic operation when the current precision is p < p'. The above accuracy guarantees still apply; in particular, no rounding is done until *after* the operation is performed. EXAMPLE: If x and y are computed to 200 bits of precision, and then the precision is set to 100 bits, then x-y will be computed correctly to 100 bits, even if, say, x and y agree in their high-order 50 bits. If x and y had been rounded to 100 bits before the subtraction, then the difference would only be accurate to 50 bits of precision. Note that the assignment operator and the copy constructor produce *exact* copies of their inputs---they are *never* rounded. This is a change in semantics from versions 2.0 and earlier in which assignment and copy rounded their outputs. This was deemed a design error and has been changed. If you want to force rounding to current precision, the easiest way to do this is with the RR to RR conversion routines: conv(x, a); or x = to_RR(a); This will round a to current precision and store the result in x. Note that writing x = a + 0; or x = a*1; also has the same effect. Unlike IEEE standard floating point, there are no "special values", like "infinity" or "not a number", nor are there any "denormalized numbers". Overflow, underflow, or taking a square root of a negative number all result in an error being raised. An RR is represented as a mantissa/exponent pair (x, e), where x is a ZZ and e is a long. The real number represented by (x, e) is x * 2^e. Zero is always represented as (0, 0). For all other numbers, x is always odd. CONVERSIONS AND PROMOTIONS: The complete set of conversion routines between RR and other types is documented in the file "conversions.txt". Conversion from any type to RR always rounds the result to the current precision. The basic operations also support the notion of "promotions", so that they promote a double to an RR. For example, one can write x = y + 1.5; where x and y are RR's. One should be aware that these promotions are always implemented using the double to RR conversion routine.

Such usage is now considered obsolete. To perform computations using a precision of less than 53 bits, users should use the specialized routines AddPrec, SubPrec, etc., documented above. (2) The routine RoundToPrecision is obsolete, although for backward compatability, it is still declared (in both procedural and function forms), and is equivalent to ConvPrec. (3) In versions 2.0 and earlier, the assignment operator and copy constructor for the class RR rounded their outputs to the current precision. This is no longer the case: their outputs are now exact copies of their inputs, regardless of the current precision. \**************************************************************************/
