bool Big::IsNan() - returns true if the NaN flag is set
void Big::SetNan() - sets the NaN flag
The NaN flag is set by default after creating an object:
Big<1, 2> a; // NaN is set (it means the object has not a valid number)
std::cout << a; // cout gives "NaN"
a = 123; // now NaN is not set
std::cout << a; // cout gives "123"
The NaN is set if there was a carry during calculations
a.Mul(very_big_value); // a will have a NaN set
The NaN is set if an argument is NaN too
b.SetNan();
a.Add(b); // a will have NaN because b has NaN too
If you try to do something on a NaN object, the result is a NaN too
a.SetNan();
a.Add(2); // a is still a NaN
The NaN is set if you use incorrect arguments
a.Ln(-10); // a will have the NaN flag
The only way to clear the NaN flag is to assign a correct value or other correct object
supposing 'a' has NaN flag, to remove the flag you can either:
a = 10;
a.FromInt(30);
a.SetOne();
a.FromBig(other_object_without_nan);
etc.
changed: renamed macro CONSTANTSGENERATOR to TTMATH_CONSTANTSGENERATOR
git-svn-id: svn://ttmath.org/publicrep/ttmath/trunk@152 e52654a7-88a9-db11-a3e9-0013d4bc506e
changed: the size of built-in variables (constants) in ttmathbig.h
now they consist of 256 32bit words
macro TTMATH_BUILTIN_VARIABLES_SIZE is equal: 256u on a 32bit platform and 128ul on a 64bit platform
added: macro CONSTANTSGENERATOR which is useful for generating constants
(it's used by 'gen' program in 'constgen' directory)
after declaring this macro the methods: ExpSurrounding0() and LnSurrounding1() will be public visible
and the inner loop can do more iterations than TTMATH_ARITHMETIC_MAX_LOOP
changed: in methods: ExpSurrounding0() and LnSurrounding1() - the way of comparising with the last word
(now we're comparing not with the last state but with a state from a few words back)
