Overloading is also provided for Perl operators. All operators (including basic math operations) are overloaded if you declare your big floating point numbers as $x = Math::BigFloat -> new('12_3.456_789_123_456_789E-2'); Operations with overloaded operators preserve the arguments, which is exactly what you expect. =head2 Input Input values to these routines may be any scalar number or string that looks like a number and represents a floating point number. =over =item * Leading and trailing whitespace is ignored. =item * Leading and trailing zeros are ignored. =item * If the string has a "0x" prefix, it is interpreted as a hexadecimal number. =item * If the string has a "0b" prefix, it is interpreted as a binary number. =item * For hexadecimal and binary numbers, the exponent must be separated from the significand (mantissa) by the letter "p" or "P", not "e" or "E" as with decimal numbers. =item * One underline is allowed between any two digits, including hexadecimal and binary digits. =item * If the string can not be interpreted, NaN is returned. =back Octal numbers are typically prefixed by "0", but since leading zeros are stripped, these methods can not automatically recognize octal numbers, so use the constructor from_oct() to interpret octal strings. Some examples of valid string input Input string Resulting value 123 123 1.23e2 123 12300e-2 123 0xcafe 51966 0b1101 13 67_538_754 67538754 -4_5_6.7_8_9e+0_1_0 -4567890000000 0x1.921fb5p+1 3.14159262180328369140625e+0 0b1.1001p-4 9.765625e-2 =head2 Output Output values are usually Math::BigFloat objects. Boolean operators C<is_zero()>, C<is_one()>, C<is_inf()>, etc. return true or false. Comparison operators C<bcmp()> and C<bacmp()>) return -1, 0, 1, or undef. =head1 METHODS Math::BigFloat supports all methods that Math::BigInt supports, except it calculates non-integer results when possible. Please see L<Math::BigInt> for a full description of each method. Below are just the most important differences: =head2 Configuration methods =over =item accuracy() $x->accuracy(5); # local for $x CLASS->accuracy(5); # global for all members of CLASS # Note: This also applies to new()! $A = $x->accuracy(); # read out accuracy that affects $x $A = CLASS->accuracy(); # read out global accuracy Set or get the global or local accuracy, aka how many significant digits the results have. If you set a global accuracy, then this also applies to new()! Warning! The accuracy I<sticks>, e.g. once you created a number under the influence of C<< CLASS->accuracy($A) >>, all results from math operations with that number will also be rounded. In most cases, you should probably round the results explicitly using one of L<Math::BigInt/round()>, L<Math::BigInt/bround()> or L<Math::BigInt/bfround()> or by passing the desired accuracy to the math operation as additional parameter: my $x = Math::BigInt->new(30000); my $y = Math::BigInt->new(7); print scalar $x->copy()->bdiv($y, 2); # print 4300 print scalar $x->copy()->bdiv($y)->bround(2); # print 4300 =item precision() $x->precision(-2); # local for $x, round at the second # digit right of the dot $x->precision(2); # ditto, round at the second digit # left of the dot CLASS->precision(5); # Global for all members of CLASS # This also applies to new()! CLASS->precision(-5); # ditto $P = CLASS->precision(); # read out global precision $P = $x->precision(); # read out precision that affects $x Note: You probably want to use L</accuracy()> instead. With L</accuracy()> you set the number of digits each result should have, with L</precision()> you set the place where to round! =back =head2 Constructor methods =over =item from_hex() $x -> from_hex("0x1.921fb54442d18p+1"); $x = Math::BigFloat -> from_hex("0x1.921fb54442d18p+1"); Interpret input as a hexadecimal string.A prefix ("0x", "x", ignoring case) is optional. A single underscore character ("_") may be placed between any two digits. If the input is invalid, a NaN is returned. The exponent is in base 2 using decimal digits. If called as an instance method, the value is assigned to the invocand. =item from_oct() $x -> from_oct("1.3267p-4"); $x = Math::BigFloat -> from_oct("1.3267p-4"); Interpret input as an octal string. A single underscore character ("_") may be placed between any two digits. If the input is invalid, a NaN is returned. The exponent is in base 2 using decimal digits. If called as an instance method, the value is assigned to the invocand. =item from_bin() $x -> from_bin("0b1.1001p-4"); $x = Math::BigFloat -> from_bin("0b1.1001p-4"); Interpret input as a hexadecimal string. A prefix ("0b" or "b", ignoring case) is optional. A single underscore character ("_") may be placed between any two digits. If the input is invalid, a NaN is returned. The exponent is in base 2 using decimal digits. If called as an instance method, the value is assigned to the invocand. =item bpi() print Math::BigFloat->bpi(100), "\n"; Calculate PI to N digits (including the 3 before the dot). The result is rounded according to the current rounding mode, which defaults to "even". This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007). =back =head2 Arithmetic methods =over =item bmuladd() $x->bmuladd($y,$z); Multiply $x by $y, and then add $z to the result. This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007). =item bdiv() $q = $x->bdiv($y); ($q, $r) = $x->bdiv($y); In scalar context, divides $x by $y and returns the result to the given or default accuracy/precision. In list context, does floored division (F-division), returning an integer $q and a remainder $r so that $x = $q * $y + $r. The remainer (modulo) is equal to what is returned by C<$x->bmod($y)>. =item bmod() $x->bmod($y); Returns $x modulo $y. When $x is finite, and $y is finite and non-zero, the result is identical to the remainder after floored division (F-division). If, in addition, both $x and $y are integers, the result is identical to the result from Perl's % operator. =item bexp() $x->bexp($accuracy); # calculate e X Calculates the expression C<e $x> where C<e> is Euler's number. This method was added in v1.82 of Math::BigInt (April 2007). =item bnok() $x->bnok($y); # x over y (binomial coefficient n over k) Calculates the binomial coefficient n over k, also called the "choose" function. The result is equivalent to: ( n ) n! \| - \| = ------- ( k ) k!(n-k)! This method was added in v1.84 of Math::BigInt (April 2007). =item bsin() my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(1); print $x->bsin(100), "\n"; Calculate the sinus of $x, modifying $x in place. This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007). =item bcos() my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(1); print $x->bcos(100), "\n"; Calculate the cosinus of $x, modifying $x in place. This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007). =item batan() my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(1); print $x->batan(100), "\n"; Calculate the arcus tanges of $x, modifying $x in place. See also L</batan2()>. This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007). =item batan2() my $y = Math::BigFloat->new(2); my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(3); print $y->batan2($x), "\n"; Calculate the arcus tanges of C<$y> divided by C<$x>, modifying $y in place. See also L</batan()>. This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007). =item as_float() This method is called when Math::BigFloat encounters an object it doesn't know how to handle. For instance, assume $x is a Math::BigFloat, or subclass thereof, and $y is defined, but not a Math::BigFloat, or subclass thereof. If you do $x -> badd($y); $y needs to be converted into an object that $x can deal with. This is done by first checking if $y is something that $x might be upgraded to. If that is the case, no further attempts are made. The next is to see if $y supports the method C<as_float()>. The method C<as_float()> is expected to return either an object that has the same class as $x, a subclass thereof, or a string that C<ref($x)-E<gt>new()> can parse to create an object. In Math::BigFloat, C<as_float()> has the same effect as C<copy()>. =back =head2 ACCURACY AND PRECISION See also: L<Rounding\|/Rounding>. Math::BigFloat supports both precision (rounding to a certain place before or after the dot) and accuracy (rounding to a certain number of digits). For a full documentation, examples and tips on these topics please see the large section about rounding in L<Math::BigInt>. Since things like C<sqrt(2)> or C<1 / 3> must presented with a limited accuracy lest a operation consumes all resources, each operation produces no more than the requested number of digits. If there is no global precision or accuracy set, B<and> the operation in question was not called with a requested precision or accuracy, B<and> the input $x has no accuracy or precision set, then a fallback parameter will be used. For historical reasons, it is called C<div_scale> and can be accessed via: $d = Math::BigFloat->div_scale(); # query Math::BigFloat->div_scale($n); # set to $n digits The default value for C<div_scale> is 40. In case the result of one operation has more digits than specified, it is rounded. The rounding mode taken is either the default mode, or the one supplied to the operation after the I<scale>: $x = Math::BigFloat->new(2); Math::BigFloat->accuracy(5); # 5 digits max $y = $x->copy()->bdiv(3); # gives 0.66667 $y = $x->copy()->bdiv(3,6); # gives 0.666667 $y = $x->copy()->bdiv(3,6,undef,'odd'); # gives 0.666667 Math::BigFloat->round_mode('zero'); $y = $x->copy()->bdiv(3,6); # will also give 0.666667 Note that C<< Math::BigFloat->accuracy() >> and C<< Math::BigFloat->precision() >> set the global variables, and thus B<any> newly created number will be subject to the global rounding B<immediately>. This means that in the examples above, the C<3> as argument to C<bdiv()> will also get an accuracy of B<5>. It is less confusing to either calculate the result fully, and afterwards round it explicitly, or use the additional parameters to the math functions like so: use Math::BigFloat; $x = Math::BigFloat->new(2); $y = $x->copy()->bdiv(3); print $y->bround(5),"\n"; # gives 0.66667 or use Math::BigFloat; $x = Math::BigFloat->new(2); $y = $x->copy()->bdiv(3,5); # gives 0.66667 print "$y\n"; =head2 Rounding =over =item bfround ( +$scale ) Rounds to the $scale'th place left from the '.', counting from the dot. The first digit is numbered 1. =item bfround ( -$scale ) Rounds to the $scale'th place right from the '.', counting from the dot. =item bfround ( 0 ) Rounds to an integer. =item bround ( +$scale ) Preserves accuracy to $scale digits from the left (aka significant digits) and pads the rest with zeros. If the number is between 1 and -1, the significant digits count from the first non-zero after the '.' =item bround ( -$scale ) and bround ( 0 ) These are effectively no-ops. =back All rounding functions take as a second parameter a rounding mode from one of the following: 'even', 'odd', '+inf', '-inf', 'zero', 'trunc' or 'common'. The default rounding mode is 'even'. By using C<< Math::BigFloat->round_mode($round_mode); >> you can get and set the default mode for subsequent rounding. The usage of C<$Math::BigFloat::$round_mode> is no longer supported. The second parameter to the round functions then overrides the default temporarily. The C<as_number()> function returns a BigInt from a Math::BigFloat. It uses 'trunc' as rounding mode to make it equivalent to: $x = 2.5; $y = int($x) + 2; You can override this by passing the desired rounding mode as parameter to C<as_number()>: $x = Math::BigFloat->new(2.5); $y = $x->as_number('odd'); # $y = 3 =head1 Autocreating constants After C<use Math::BigFloat ':constant'> all the floating point constants in the given scope are converted to C<Math::BigFloat>. This conversion happens at compile time. In particular perl -MMath::BigFloat=:constant -e 'print 2E-100,"\n"' prints the value of C<2E-100>. Note that without conversion of constants the expression 2E-100 will be calculated as normal floating point number. Please note that ':constant' does not affect integer constants, nor binary nor hexadecimal constants. Use L<bignum> or L<Math::BigInt> to get this to work. =head2 Math library Math with the numbers is done (by default) by a module called Math::BigInt::Calc. This is equivalent to saying: use Math::BigFloat lib => 'Calc'; You can change this by using: use Math::BigFloat lib => 'GMP'; B<Note>: General purpose packages should not be explicit about the library to use; let the script author decide which is best. Note: The keyword 'lib' will warn when the requested library could not be loaded. To suppress the warning use 'try' instead: use Math::BigFloat try => 'GMP'; If your script works with huge numbers and Calc is too slow for them, you can also for the loading of one of these libraries and if none of them can be used, the code will die: use Math::BigFloat only => 'GMP,Pari'; The following would first try to find Math::BigInt::Foo, then Math::BigInt::Bar, and when this also fails, revert to Math::BigInt::Calc: use Math::BigFloat lib => 'Foo,Math::BigInt::Bar'; See the respective low-level library documentation for further details. Please note that Math::BigFloat does B<not> use the denoted library itself, but it merely passes the lib argument to Math::BigInt. So, instead of the need to do: use Math::BigInt lib => 'GMP'; use Math::BigFloat; you can roll it all into one line: use Math::BigFloat lib => 'GMP'; It is also possible to just require Math::BigFloat: require Math::BigFloat; This will load the necessary things (like BigInt) when they are needed, and automatically. See L<Math::BigInt> for more details than you ever wanted to know about using a different low-level library. =head2 Using Math::BigInt::Lite For backwards compatibility reasons it is still possible to request a different storage class for use with Math::BigFloat: use Math::BigFloat with => 'Math::BigInt::Lite'; However, this request is ignored, as the current code now uses the low-level math library for directly storing the number parts. =head1 EXPORTS C<Math::BigFloat> exports nothing by default, but can export the C<bpi()> method: use Math::BigFloat qw/bpi/; print bpi(10), "\n"; =head1 CAVEATS Do not try to be clever to insert some operations in between switching libraries: require Math::BigFloat; my $matter = Math::BigFloat->bone() + 4; # load BigInt and Calc Math::BigFloat->import( lib => 'Pari' ); # load Pari, too my $anti_matter = Math::BigFloat->bone()+4; # now use Pari This will create objects with numbers stored in two different backend libraries, and B<VERY BAD THINGS> will happen when you use these together: my $flash_and_bang = $matter + $anti_matter; # Don't do this! =over =item stringify, bstr() Both stringify and bstr() now drop the leading '+'. The old code would return '+1.23', the new returns '1.23'. See the documentation in L<Math::BigInt> for reasoning and details. =item brsft() The following will probably not print what you expect: my $c = Math::BigFloat->new('3.14159'); print $c->brsft(3,10),"\n"; # prints 0.00314153.1415 It prints both quotient and remainder, since print calls C<brsft()> in list context. Also, C<< $c->brsft() >> will modify $c, so be careful. You probably want to use print scalar $c->copy()->brsft(3,10),"\n"; # or if you really want to modify $c print scalar $c->brsft(3,10),"\n"; instead. =item Modifying and = Beware of: $x = Math::BigFloat->new(5); $y = $x; It will not do what you think, e.g. making a copy of $x. Instead it just makes a second reference to the B<same> object and stores it in $y. Thus anything that modifies $x will modify $y (except overloaded math operators), and vice versa. See L<Math::BigInt> for details and how to avoid that. =item precision() vs. accuracy() A common pitfall is to use L</precision()> when you want to round a result to a certain number of digits: use Math::BigFloat; Math::BigFloat->precision(4); # does not do what you # think it does my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(12345); # rounds $x to "12000"! print "$x\n"; # print "12000" my $y = Math::BigFloat->new(3); # rounds $y to "0"! print "$y\n"; # print "0" $z = $x / $y; # 12000 / 0 => NaN! print "$z\n"; print $z->precision(),"\n"; # 4 Replacing L</precision()> with L</accuracy()> is probably not what you want, either: use Math::BigFloat; Math::BigFloat->accuracy(4); # enables global rounding: my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(123456); # rounded immediately # to "12350" print "$x\n"; # print "123500" my $y = Math::BigFloat->new(3); # rounded to "3 print "$y\n"; # print "3" print $z = $x->copy()->bdiv($y),"\n"; # 41170 print $z->accuracy(),"\n"; # 4 What you want to use instead is: use Math::BigFloat; my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(123456); # no rounding print "$x\n"; # print "123456" my $y = Math::BigFloat->new(3); # no rounding print "$y\n"; # print "3" print $z = $x->copy()->bdiv($y,4),"\n"; # 41150 print $z->accuracy(),"\n"; # undef In addition to computing what you expected, the last example also does B<not> "taint" the result with an accuracy or precision setting, which would influence any further operation. =back =head1 BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to C<bug-math-bigint at rt.cpan.org>, or through the web interface at L<https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Create.html?Queue=Math-BigInt> (requires login).

# The difference for each term is X and N, which would result in:
    # 2 copy, 2 mul, 2 add, 1 inc, 1 div operations per term

# But it is faster to compute exp(1) and then raising it to the
    # given power, esp. if $x is really big and an integer because:

#  * The numerator is always 1, making the computation faster
    #  * the series converges faster in the case of x == 1
    #  * We can also easily check when we have reached our limit: when the
    #    term to be added is smaller than "1E$scale", we can stop - f.i.
    #    scale == 5, and we have 1/40320, then we stop since 1/40320 < 1E-5.
    #  * we can compute the *exact* result by simulating bigrat math:

#  1   1    gcd(3, 4) = 1    1*24 + 1*6    5
    #  - + -                  = ---------- =  --
    #  6   24                      6*24       24

# We do not compute the gcd() here, but simple do:
    #  1   1    1*24 + 1*6   30
    #  - + -  = --------- =  --
    #  6   24       6*24     144

# In general:
    #  a   c    a*d + c*b         and note that c is always 1 and d = (b*f)
    #  - + -  = ---------
    #  b   d       b*d

# This leads to:         which can be reduced by b to:
    #  a   1     a*b*f + b    a*f + 1
    #  - + -   = --------- =  -------
    #  b   b*f     b*b*f        b*f

# The first terms in the series are:

# 1     1    1    1    1    1     1     1     13700
    # -- + -- + -- + -- + -- + --- + --- + ---- = -----
    # 1     1    2    6   24   120   720   5040   5040

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Math::BigFloat provides support for arbitrary precision floating point.
Overloading is also provided for Perl operators.

All operators (including basic math operations) are overloaded if you
declare your big floating point numbers as

$x = Math::BigFloat -> new('12_3.456_789_123_456_789E-2');

Operations with overloaded operators preserve the arguments, which is
exactly what you expect.

=head2 Input

Input values to these routines may be any scalar number or string that looks
like a number and represents a floating point number.

=over

=item *

Leading and trailing whitespace is ignored.

=item *

Leading and trailing zeros are ignored.

=item *

If the string has a "0x" prefix, it is interpreted as a hexadecimal number.

=item *

If the string has a "0b" prefix, it is interpreted as a binary number.

=item *

For hexadecimal and binary numbers, the exponent must be separated from the
significand (mantissa) by the letter "p" or "P", not "e" or "E" as with decimal
numbers.

=item *

One underline is allowed between any two digits, including hexadecimal and
binary digits.

=item *

If the string can not be interpreted, NaN is returned.

=back

Octal numbers are typically prefixed by "0", but since leading zeros are
stripped, these methods can not automatically recognize octal numbers, so use
the constructor from_oct() to interpret octal strings.

Some examples of valid string input

Input string                Resulting value
    123                         123

    0b1.1001p-4                 9.765625e-2

=head2 Output

Output values are usually Math::BigFloat objects.

Boolean operators C<is_zero()>, C<is_one()>, C<is_inf()>, etc. return true or
false.

Comparison operators C<bcmp()> and C<bacmp()>) return -1, 0, 1, or
undef.

=head1 METHODS

Math::BigFloat supports all methods that Math::BigInt supports, except it
calculates non-integer results when possible. Please see L<Math::BigInt> for a
full description of each method. Below are just the most important differences:

=head2 Configuration methods

=over

=item accuracy()

$x->accuracy(5);           # local for $x
    CLASS->accuracy(5);        # global for all members of CLASS
                               # Note: This also applies to new()!

$A = $x->accuracy();       # read out accuracy that affects $x
    $A = CLASS->accuracy();    # read out global accuracy

Set or get the global or local accuracy, aka how many significant digits the
results have. If you set a global accuracy, then this also applies to new()!

Warning! The accuracy I<sticks>, e.g. once you created a number under the
influence of C<< CLASS->accuracy($A) >>, all results from math operations with
that number will also be rounded.

In most cases, you should probably round the results explicitly using one of
L<Math::BigInt/round()>, L<Math::BigInt/bround()> or L<Math::BigInt/bfround()>
or by passing the desired accuracy to the math operation as additional
parameter:

my $x = Math::BigInt->new(30000);
    my $y = Math::BigInt->new(7);
    print scalar $x->copy()->bdiv($y, 2);           # print 4300
    print scalar $x->copy()->bdiv($y)->bround(2);   # print 4300

=item precision()

$x->precision(-2);        # local for $x, round at the second
                              # digit right of the dot
    $x->precision(2);         # ditto, round at the second digit
                              # left of the dot

CLASS->precision(5);      # Global for all members of CLASS
                              # This also applies to new()!
    CLASS->precision(-5);     # ditto

$P = CLASS->precision();  # read out global precision
    $P = $x->precision();     # read out precision that affects $x

Note: You probably want to use L</accuracy()> instead. With L</accuracy()> you
set the number of digits each result should have, with L</precision()> you
set the place where to round!

=back

=head2 Constructor methods

=over

=item from_hex()

$x -> from_hex("0x1.921fb54442d18p+1");
    $x = Math::BigFloat -> from_hex("0x1.921fb54442d18p+1");

Interpret input as a hexadecimal string.A prefix ("0x", "x", ignoring case) is
optional. A single underscore character ("_") may be placed between any two
digits. If the input is invalid, a NaN is returned. The exponent is in base 2
using decimal digits.

If called as an instance method, the value is assigned to the invocand.

=item from_oct()

$x -> from_oct("1.3267p-4");
    $x = Math::BigFloat -> from_oct("1.3267p-4");

Interpret input as an octal string. A single underscore character ("_") may be
placed between any two digits. If the input is invalid, a NaN is returned. The
exponent is in base 2 using decimal digits.

If called as an instance method, the value is assigned to the invocand.

=item from_bin()

$x -> from_bin("0b1.1001p-4");
    $x = Math::BigFloat -> from_bin("0b1.1001p-4");

Interpret input as a hexadecimal string. A prefix ("0b" or "b", ignoring case)
is optional. A single underscore character ("_") may be placed between any two
digits. If the input is invalid, a NaN is returned. The exponent is in base 2
using decimal digits.

If called as an instance method, the value is assigned to the invocand.

=item bpi()

print Math::BigFloat->bpi(100), "\n";

Calculate PI to N digits (including the 3 before the dot). The result is
rounded according to the current rounding mode, which defaults to "even".

This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007).

=back

=head2 Arithmetic methods

=over

=item bmuladd()

$x->bmuladd($y,$z);

Multiply $x by $y, and then add $z to the result.

This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007).

=item bdiv()

$q = $x->bdiv($y);
    ($q, $r) = $x->bdiv($y);

In scalar context, divides $x by $y and returns the result to the given or
default accuracy/precision. In list context, does floored division
(F-division), returning an integer $q and a remainder $r so that $x = $q * $y +
$r. The remainer (modulo) is equal to what is returned by C<$x->bmod($y)>.

=item bmod()

$x->bmod($y);

Returns $x modulo $y. When $x is finite, and $y is finite and non-zero, the
result is identical to the remainder after floored division (F-division). If,
in addition, both $x and $y are integers, the result is identical to the result
from Perl's % operator.

=item bexp()

$x->bexp($accuracy);            # calculate e ** X

Calculates the expression C<e ** $x> where C<e> is Euler's number.

This method was added in v1.82 of Math::BigInt (April 2007).

=item bnok()

$x->bnok($y);   # x over y (binomial coefficient n over k)

Calculates the binomial coefficient n over k, also called the "choose"
function. The result is equivalent to:

( n )      n!
    | - |  = -------
    ( k )    k!(n-k)!

This method was added in v1.84 of Math::BigInt (April 2007).

=item bsin()

my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(1);
    print $x->bsin(100), "\n";

Calculate the sinus of $x, modifying $x in place.

This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007).

=item bcos()

my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(1);
    print $x->bcos(100), "\n";

Calculate the cosinus of $x, modifying $x in place.

This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007).

=item batan()

my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(1);
    print $x->batan(100), "\n";

Calculate the arcus tanges of $x, modifying $x in place. See also L</batan2()>.

This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007).

=item batan2()

my $y = Math::BigFloat->new(2);
    my $x = Math::BigFloat->new(3);
    print $y->batan2($x), "\n";

Calculate the arcus tanges of C<$y> divided by C<$x>, modifying $y in place.
See also L</batan()>.

This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007).

=item as_float()

This method is called when Math::BigFloat encounters an object it doesn't know
how to handle. For instance, assume $x is a Math::BigFloat, or subclass
thereof, and $y is defined, but not a Math::BigFloat, or subclass thereof. If
you do

$x -> badd($y);

$y needs to be converted into an object that $x can deal with. This is done by
first checking if $y is something that $x might be upgraded to. If that is the
case, no further attempts are made. The next is to see if $y supports the
method C<as_float()>. The method C<as_float()> is expected to return either an
object that has the same class as $x, a subclass thereof, or a string that
C<ref($x)-E<gt>new()> can parse to create an object.

In Math::BigFloat, C<as_float()> has the same effect as C<copy()>.
