Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the
xint
package.
Version number: 1.09k
License type: lppl
Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers
Announcement text:
1.09k 2014/01/21 * inside \xintexpr..\relax (and its variants) tacit multiplication now applies when an opening parenthesis is met while scanning a number or looking for some infix operator, * the " is accepted by the \xintexpr syntax for input of (big) hexadecimal numbers, possibly with a fractional hexadecimal part. Example: \xintexpr 16^5-("F75DE.0A8B9+"8A21.F5746+16^-5)\relax * first sections of the user manual re-organized with the aim to remove duplicates. Various other documentation issues addressed.

xint – Expandable arbitrary precision floating point and integer operations
The xint bundle main modules are:
- xinttools
- utilities of independent interest such as expandable and non-expandable loops,
- xintcore
- expandable macros implementing addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and powers for arbitrarily long integers,
- xint
- extension of xintcore,
- xintfrac
- extends the scope of xint to decimal numbers, to numbers using scientific notation and also to (exact) fractions,
- xintexpr
- provides expandable parsers of numeric expressions using the standard infix notations, parentheses, built-in functions, user definable functions and variables (and more ...) which do either exact evaluations (also with fractions) or floating point evaluations under a user chosen precision.
Further modules of the bundle are:
xintkernel (support macros for all the bundle constituents),
xintbinhex (conversion to and from hexadecimal and binary bases),
xintgcd (provides gcd() and lcm() functions to xintexpr),
xintseries (evaluates numerically partial sums of series and
power series with fractional coefficients), and
xintcfrac (dedicated to the computation and display of continued fractions).
All computations are compatible with expansion-only context.
The packages may be used with Plain TeX, LaTeX, or (a priori) any other macro format built upon TeX.
