Quote: if a count reaches its limit, reduce by half, increment an overflow count in a hashed table, and set a flag; reverse for decrementing [»lampBW10_1983] Quote: ASDL defines 3 primitive types: signed integers of infinite precision, identifiers, and strings [»wangDS10_1997] Quote: a humber is a variable-precision number [»nelsTH1_1988]
Subtopic: geometric operations
Quote: SANE supports extended precision, NaNs, Infinities, unordered comparisons, rounding, and floating point exceptions; no signaling NaNs
Subtopic: implementation
Quote: CORE geometric library offers guaranteed accuracy; up to 150 times slower than machine accuracy [»karaV6_1999] Quote: arbitrary precision implementations of 2D and 3D geometric orientation and incircle tests [»shewJR5_1996]
Quote: fast arbitrary-precision addition and multiplication up to a thousand bits; uses floating point numbers; adaptive Quote: represent arbitrary precision floating point numbers with multiple, non-overlapping terms; e.g., 1100 - 10.1 [»shewJR5_1996] Quote: gives a fast O(n^2) algorithm for division of multi-precision floating-point numbers; as fast as multiplication; accuracy to machine epsilon
