What needs to be mentioned though is that the context has to be set
for unrounded calculations:
c = getcontext()
c.prec = MAX_PREC
c.Emax = MAX_EMAX
c.Emin = MIN_EMIN
Otherwise some people believe that the bignums are just rounded floating point arithmetic that is expected to be fast (I've seen this misconception somewhere, perhaps on Stackoverflow). |
