Re: [Pharo-users] High precision arithmetic

Hi Stephane, it _is_ in scitalk, at the moment only in the #development version, but i'd guess, that will change in a while. Hi Pierre, the problem - as Stephane pointed out - is that ScaledDecimal essentially is a Fraction, which depending on which function you use can be transformed to Flo

we should move it to scitalk ;) Le 2/2/15 17:51, Werner Kassens a écrit : Hi Pierre, you will find an ArbitraryPrecisionFloat package at sqeaksource that works eg in pharo3 & 4: http://www.squeaksource.com/ArbitraryPrecisionFl.html werner

Re: [Pharo-users] High precision arithmetic

Then I found in http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/Web/Draft/Float.pdf that using ScaledDecimal allows exact arithmetics. So I guess ScaledDecimal is the best class to use for playing with 20 decimals numbers ? :) I always thought that we should look into using MPFR. There is no way that we
