CGAL::Lazy_exact_nt< NT > Class Template Reference

#include <CGAL/Lazy_exact_nt.h>

Definition

An object of the class Lazy_exact_nt<NT> is able to represent any real embeddable number which NT is able to represent.

The idea is that Lazy_exact_nt<NT> works exactly like NT, except that it is expected to be faster because it tries to only compute an approximation of the value, and only refers to NT when needed. The goal is to speed up exact computations done by any exact but slow number type NT.

Template Parameters
NTmust be a model of concept RealEmbeddable, and at least model of concept IntegralDomainWithoutDivision.

Note that some filtering mechanism is available at the predicate level using Filtered_predicate and Filtered_kernel.

Is Model Of:

IntegralDomainWithoutDivision same as NT

RealEmbeddable

Fraction, if NT is a Fraction

Example

#include <CGAL/Cartesian.h>
#include <CGAL/MP_Float.h>
#include <CGAL/Quotient.h>

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename NT >
template<class NT1 >
CGAL::Lazy_exact_nt< NT >::Lazy_exact_nt ( Lazy_exact_nt< NT1 >  n)

introduces the value n.

NT1 needs to be convertible to NT (and this conversion will only be done if necessary).

Member Function Documentation

template<typename NT >
static void CGAL::Lazy_exact_nt< NT >::set_relative_precision_of_to_double ( double  d)
static

specifies the relative precision that to_double() has to fulfill.

The default value is \( 10^{-5}\).

Precondition
d>0 and d<1.
