Hello,
My goal is to divide two whole numbers and get the results to a given number of decimals.
$ perl -e 'print 2/3,"\n";' 0.666666666666667 $
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict; use warnings; use Math::BigFloat; use Data::Dumper;
# from http://search.cpan.org/~tels/Math-BigInt-1.74/lib/Math/BigFloat.pm with my() added,
# my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(11);
my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(2); Math::BigFloat->precision(5); # 5 digits max my $y = $x->copy()->bdiv(3); # will give 0.66666
# $ perl -e 'print 2/3,"\n";' # 0.666666666666667 # $
print Dumper $y;
The docs says "will give 0.66666" so how does one get $y to give you that?
That is what I can't seem to find and the Dump of $y doesn't seem to contain any part of the answer...
TIA
