=head1 NAME

bigrat - transparent big rational number support for Perl

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use bigrat;

    print 2 + 4.5;                      # Math::BigRat 13/2
    print 1/3 + 1/4;                    # Math::BigRat 7/12
    print inf + 42;                     # Math::BigRat inf
    print NaN * 7;                      # Math::BigRat NaN
    print hex("0x1234567890123490");    # Perl v5.10.0 or later

    {
        no bigrat;
        print 1/3;                      # 0.33333...
    }

    # for older Perls, import into current package:
    use bigrat qw/hex oct/;
    print hex("0x1234567890123490");
    print oct("01234567890123490");

=head1 DESCRIPTION

All numeric literal in the given scope are converted to Math::BigRat objects.

All operators (including basic math operations) except the range operator C<..>
are overloaded.

So, the following:

    use bigrat;
    $x = 1234;

creates a Math::BigRat and stores a reference to in $x. This happens
transparently and behind your back, so to speak.

You can see this with the following:

    perl -Mbigrat -le 'print ref(1234)'

Since numbers are actually objects, you can call all the usual methods from
Math::BigRat on them. This even works to some extent on expressions:

    perl -Mbigrat -le '$x = 1234; print $x->bdec()'
    perl -Mbigrat -le 'print 1234->copy()->binc();'
    perl -Mbigrat -le 'print 1234->copy()->binc->badd(6);'
    perl -Mbigrat -le 'print +(1234)->copy()->binc()'

(Note that print doesn't do what you expect if the expression starts with
'(' hence the C<+>)

You can even chain the operations together as usual:

    perl -Mbigrat -le 'print 1234->copy()->binc->badd(6);'
    1241

Please note the following does not work as expected (prints nothing), since
overloading of '..' is not yet possible in Perl (as of v5.8.0):

    perl -Mbigrat -le 'for (1..2) { print ref($_); }'

=head2 Options

C<bigrat> recognizes some options that can be passed while loading it via
C<use>. The following options exist:

=over 4

=item a or accuracy

This sets the accuracy for all math operations. The argument must be greater
than or equal to zero. See Math::BigInt's bround() method for details.

    perl -Mbigrat=a,50 -le 'print sqrt(20)'

Note that setting precision and accuracy at the same time is not possible.

=item p or precision

This sets the precision for all math operations. The argument can be any
integer. Negative values mean a fixed number of digits after the dot, while a
positive value rounds to this digit left from the dot. 0 means round to integer.
See Math::BigInt's bfround() method for details.

    perl -Mbigrat=p,-50 -le 'print sqrt(20)'

Note that setting precision and accuracy at the same time is not possible.

=item t or trace

This enables a trace mode and is primarily for debugging.

=item l, lib, try, or only

Load a different math lib, see L<Math Library>.

    perl -Mbigrat=l,GMP -e 'print 2 ** 512'
    perl -Mbigrat=lib,GMP -e 'print 2 ** 512'
    perl -Mbigrat=try,GMP -e 'print 2 ** 512'
    perl -Mbigrat=only,GMP -e 'print 2 ** 512'

=item hex

Override the built-in hex() method with a version that can handle big numbers.
This overrides it by exporting it to the current package. Under Perl v5.10.0 and
higher, this is not so necessary, as hex() is lexically overridden in the
current scope whenever the C<bigrat> pragma is active.

=item oct

Override the built-in oct() method with a version that can handle big numbers.
This overrides it by exporting it to the current package. Under Perl v5.10.0 and
higher, this is not so necessary, as oct() is lexically overridden in the
current scope whenever the C<bigrat> pragma is active.

=item v or version

this prints out the name and version of the modules and then exits.

    perl -Mbigrat=v

=back

=head2 Math Library

Math with the numbers is done (by default) by a backend library module called
Math::BigInt::Calc. The default is equivalent to saying:

    use bigrat lib => 'Calc';

you can change this by using:

    use bigrat lib => 'GMP';

The following would first try to find Math::BigInt::Foo, then Math::BigInt::Bar,
and if this also fails, revert to Math::BigInt::Calc:

    use bigrat lib => 'Foo,Math::BigInt::Bar';

Using c<lib> warns if none of the specified libraries can be found and
L<Math::BigInt> fell back to one of the default libraries. To suppress this
warning, use c<try> instead:

    use bigrat try => 'GMP';

If you want the code to die instead of falling back, use C<only> instead:

    use bigrat only => 'GMP';

Please see the respective module documentation for further details.

=head2 Method calls

Since all numbers are now objects, you can use all methods that are part of the
Math::BigRat API.

But a warning is in order. When using the following to make a copy of a number,
only a shallow copy will be made.

    $x = 9; $y = $x;
    $x = $y = 7;

Using the copy or the original with overloaded math is okay, e.g., the following
work:

    $x = 9; $y = $x;
    print $x + 1, " ", $y,"\n";     # prints 10 9

but calling any method that modifies the number directly will result in B<both>
the original and the copy being destroyed:

    $x = 9; $y = $x;
    print $x->badd(1), " ", $y,"\n";        # prints 10 10

    $x = 9; $y = $x;
    print $x->binc(1), " ", $y,"\n";        # prints 10 10

    $x = 9; $y = $x;
    print $x->bmul(2), " ", $y,"\n";        # prints 18 18

Using methods that do not modify, but test that the contents works:

    $x = 9; $y = $x;
    $z = 9 if $x->is_zero();                # works fine

See the documentation about the copy constructor and C<=> in overload, as well
as the documentation in Math::BigFloat for further details.

=head2 Methods

=over 4

=item inf()

A shortcut to return Math::BigRat->binf(). Useful because Perl does not always
handle bareword C<inf> properly.

=item NaN()

A shortcut to return Math::BigRat->bnan(). Useful because Perl does not always
handle bareword C<NaN> properly.

=item e

    # perl -Mbigrat=e -wle 'print e'

Returns Euler's number C<e>, aka exp(1).

=item PI

    # perl -Mbigrat=PI -wle 'print PI'

Returns PI.

=item bexp()

    bexp($power, $accuracy);

Returns Euler's number C<e> raised to the appropriate power, to the wanted
accuracy.

Example:

    # perl -Mbigrat=bexp -wle 'print bexp(1,80)'

=item bpi()

    bpi($accuracy);

Returns PI to the wanted accuracy.

Example:

    # perl -Mbigrat=bpi -wle 'print bpi(80)'

=item accuracy()

Set or get the accuracy.

=item precision()

Set or get the precision.

=item round_mode()

Set or get the rounding mode.

=item div_scale()

Set or get the division scale.

=item in_effect()

    use bigrat;

    print "in effect\n" if bigrat::in_effect;       # true
    {
        no bigrat;
        print "in effect\n" if bigrat::in_effect;   # false
    }

Returns true or false if C<bigrat> is in effect in the current scope.

This method only works on Perl v5.9.4 or later.

=back

=head1 CAVEATS

=over 4

=item Hexadecimal, octal, and binary floating point literals

Perl (and this module) accepts hexadecimal, octal, and binary floating point
literals, but use them with care with Perl versions before v5.32.0, because some
versions of Perl silently give the wrong result.

=item Operator vs literal overloading

C<bigrat> works by overloading handling of integer and floating point literals,
converting them to L<Math::BigRat> objects.

This means that arithmetic involving only string values or string literals are
performed using Perl's built-in operators.

For example:

    use bigrat;
    my $x = "900000000000000009";
    my $y = "900000000000000007";
    print $x - $y;

outputs C<0> on default 32-bit builds, since C<bigrat> never sees the string
literals. To ensure the expression is all treated as C<Math::BigRat> objects,
use a literal number in the expression:

    print +(0+$x) - $y;

=item Ranges

Perl does not allow overloading of ranges, so you can neither safely use ranges
with C<bigrat> endpoints, nor is the iterator variable a C<Math::BigRat>.

    use 5.010;
    for my $i (12..13) {
      for my $j (20..21) {
        say $i ** $j;  # produces a floating-point number,
                       # not an object

    }

=item in_effect()

This method only works on Perl v5.9.4 or later.

=item hex()/oct()

C<bigrat> overrides these routines with versions that can also handle big
integer values. Under Perl prior to version v5.9.4, however, this will not
happen unless you specifically ask for it with the two import tags "hex" and
"oct" - and then it will be global and cannot be disabled inside a scope with
C<no bigrat>:

    use bigrat qw/hex oct/;

    print hex("0x1234567890123456");
    {
        no bigrat;
        print hex("0x1234567890123456");
    }

The second call to hex() will warn about a non-portable constant.

Compare this to:

    use bigrat;

    # will warn only under Perl older than v5.9.4
    print hex("0x1234567890123456");
