curprev 13:2513:25, 16 June 2025 Kavuldra talk contribs 24,288 bytes −5 fixed-precision arithmetic should not be linked to fixed-point arithmetic, because standard floating-point arithmetic also has a fixed number of significant digits, so is also fixed-precision. undo Tags: Reverted Visual edit

curprev 00:2100:21, 14 April 2024 Vincent Lefèvre talk contribs 24,218 bytes +400 Undid revision 1218770171 by DaveHerb (talk) I don't see a limitation in the reference. BTW, in practice, there may be large limitations in software, such as in GMP, which uses a 32-bit type for the size of a mpz_t (thus, on a 64-bit machine, the limitation comes from the choice of this type rather the memory of the machine). undo Tag: Undo

curprev 19:0119:01, 13 April 2024 DaveHerb talk contribs 23,818 bytes −400 Java's BigInteger does not meet the criteria of this article. BigInteger ist limited to 2^Integer.MAX_VALUE (see http). This does not meet the requirements from this very article (at the beginning): "In computer science, arbitrary-precision arithmetic, also called bignum arithmetic, multiple-precision arithmetic, or sometimes infinite-precision arithmetic, indicates that calculations are performed on numbers whose digits of precision are limited only by the available memory of the host system." undo Tags: Reverted references removed Visual edit
