tmoertel's haskell implementation amazes me on the precision! I wonder if that is specific to Haskell or the way it was coded
The reason the implementation has such precision is not because it is written in Haskell – although that does make coding more convenient – but because it computes the answer exactly as a ratio of bigints and then extracts decimal digits until the desired precision has been obtained. If you want more or fewer than sixity digits, for example, just change 60 to the desired number in the sciformat 60 call in the code in Re^13: Algorithm for cancelling common factors between two lists of multiplicands.

Cheers,
Tom

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
