bigatom identifier -- or -- integer i = bigatom(object x) |
Description: | Declare a new bigatom variable, or test whether x is a bigatom(i=1) or not(i=0). |
Comments: |
This serves to define the bigatom type. You can also call it like an ordinary function
to determine if an object is an bigatom.
For full technical details of the internal structure (which is quite straightforward but not something you ever really need to know) please refer to builtins\bigatom.e Use ba_scale() to specify the required precision before invoking
ba_new() to create an instance value.

Example: |
include bigatom.e bigatom ba = ba_new("5.99") |
