NAME

Math::Sidef - Perl interface to Sidef's mathematical library.

SYNOPSIS

  use 5.018;
  use Math::Sidef qw(factor composite prime ipow);

  say prime(1e7);       # 10^7-th prime number
  say composite(1e7);   # 10^7-th composite number

  # Prime factorization of 2^128 + 1
  say join ' * ', factor(ipow(2, 128) + 1);

  # Iterate over prime numbers in range 50..100
  Math::Sidef::each_prime(50, 100, sub {
     say $_[0];
  });

DESCRIPTION

Math::Sidef provides an easy interface to the numerical built-in system of Sidef.

It supports all the numerical functions provided by:

The returned numerical values are returned as Math::AnyNum objects.

IMPORT

Any function can be imported, using the following syntax:

    use Math::Sidef qw(function_name);

Additionally, for importing all the functions, use:

    use Math::Sidef qw(:all);

It's also possible to import only functions for specific uses:

    :number        export Number functions, with Number() constructor
    :gauss         export Gauss functions, with Gauss() constructor
    :quadratic     export Quadratic functions, with Quadratic() constructor
    :quaternion    export Quaternion functions, with Quaternion() constructor
    :mod           export Mod functions, with Mod() constructor
    :poly          export Poly functions, with Poly() constructor
    :fraction      export Fraction functions, with Fraction() constructor

Example:

    use Math::Sidef qw(:gauss :quadratic);

    say pow(Gauss(3,4), 10);
    say powmod(Quadratic(3, 4, 100), 10, 97);

The list of functions available for importing, can be listed with:

    CORE::say join ", ", sort @Math::Sidef::EXPORT_OK;

while the methods for a specific group (e.g.: quadratic), can be listed with:

    CORE::say join ", ", sort @{$Math::Sidef::EXPORT_TAGS{quadratic}};
