Member Function Documentation

approximate_decimal_length()

size_t CGAL::Gmpz::approximate_decimal_length

(

)

const

Returns the approximate number of decimal digits needed to represent z.

Approximate means either a correct result, either the correct result plus one.

size()

size_t CGAL::Gmpz::size

(

)

const

Returns the size in limbs of z.

A limb is the type used by GMP to represent the integer (usually long).

to_double()

double CGAL::Gmpz::to_double

(

)

const

Returns a double approximation of z.

The integer is truncated if needed. If the exponent of the conversion is too big, the result is system dependent (returning infinity where it is supported).
