libmath-prime-util-gmp-perl - 0.52-2+b3 main

Math::Prime::Util::GMP contains a set of utilities related to prime numbers,
using GMP. This includes primality tests, getting primes in a range, and
factoring.
.
While it certainly can be used directly, the main purpose of this module is
for Math::Prime::Util. That module will automatically load this if it is
installed, greatly speeding up many of its operations on big numbers.
.
Inputs and outputs for big numbers are via strings, so you do not need to use
a bigint package in your program. However if you do use bigints, inputs will
be converted internally so there is no need to convert before a call. Output
results are returned as either Perl scalars (for native-size) or strings (for
bigints). Math::Prime::Util tries to reconvert all strings back into the
callers bigint type if possible, which makes it more convenient for
calculations.
