gap-pkg-float

The Float package implements floating-point numbers in GAP, with arbitrary precision, based on the C libraries MPFR, MPFI, MPC, CXSC, and FPLLL.

The package may be used within GAP by typing

    LoadPackage("Float");

The "Float" package banner should appear on the screen. New floating-point handlers may be then set by typing

    SetFloats(MPFR,1000);

to have 1000-bits floating-point numbers. For details on how to use the Float package, please consult manual.pdf in the gap-pkg-float-doc package.
