# This module is currently Py2.3 compatible and should be kept that way
# unless a major compelling advantage arises.  IOW, 2.3 compatibility is
# strongly preferred, but not guaranteed.

# Also, this module should be kept in sync with the latest updates of
# the IBM specification as it evolves.  Those updates will be treated
# as bug fixes (deviation from the spec is a compatibility, usability
# bug) and will be backported.  At this point the spec is stabilizing
# and the updates are becoming fewer, smaller, and less significant.

"""
This is a Py2.3 implementation of decimal floating point arithmetic based on
the General Decimal Arithmetic Specification:

    www2.hursley.ibm.com/decimal/decarith.html

and IEEE standard 854-1987:

    www.cs.berkeley.edu/~ejr/projects/754/private/drafts/854-1987/dir.html

Decimal floating point has finite precision with arbitrarily large bounds.

The purpose of this module is to support arithmetic using familiar
"schoolhouse" rules and to avoid some of the tricky representation
issues associated with binary floating point.  The package is especially
useful for financial applications or for contexts where users have
expectations that are at odds with binary floating point (for instance,
in binary floating point, 1.00 % 0.1 gives 0.09999999999999995 instead
of the expected Decimal("0.00") returned by decimal floating point).

Here are some examples of using the decimal module:

>>> from decimal import *
>>> setcontext(ExtendedContext)
>>> Decimal(0)
Decimal("0")
>>> Decimal("1")
Decimal("1")
>>> Decimal("-.0123")
Decimal("-0.0123")
>>> Decimal(123456)
Decimal("123456")
>>> Decimal("123.45e12345678901234567890")
Decimal("1.2345E+12345678901234567892")
>>> Decimal("1.33") + Decimal("1.27")
Decimal("2.60")
>>> Decimal("12.34") + Decimal("3.87") - Decimal("18.41")
Decimal("-2.20")
>>> dig = Decimal(1)
>>> print dig / Decimal(3)
0.333333333
>>> getcontext().prec = 18
>>> print dig / Decimal(3)
0.333333333333333333
>>> print dig.sqrt()
1
>>> print Decimal(3).sqrt()
1.73205080756887729
>>> print Decimal(3) ** 123
4.85192780976896427E+58
>>> inf = Decimal(1) / Decimal(0)
>>> print inf
Infinity
>>> neginf = Decimal(-1) / Decimal(0)
>>> print neginf
-Infinity
>>> print neginf + inf
NaN
>>> print neginf * inf

        # these tests are passed do we go on to actually compute x**y.

        # express y as a rational m/n, with m and n relatively prime
        # and n>0.  Then for x**y to be exactly representable (at
        # *any* precision), xc must be the nth power of a positive
        # integer and xe must be divisible by n.  If m is negative
        # then additionally xc must be a power of either 2 or 5, hence
        # a power of 2**n or 5**n.
        #
        # There's a limit to how small |y| can be: if y=m/n as above
        # then:
        #
        #  (1) if xc != 1 then for the result to be representable we
        #      need xc**(1/n) >= 2, and hence also xc**|y| >= 2.  So
        #      if |y| <= 1/nbits(xc) then xc < 2**nbits(xc) <=
        #      2**(1/|y|), hence xc**|y| < 2 and the result is not
        #      representable.
        #
        #  (2) if xe != 0, |xe|*(1/n) >= 1, so |xe|*|y| >= 1.  Hence if
        #      |y| < 1/|xe| then the result is not representable.

        # Note that since x is not equal to 1, at least one of (1) and

        # 10**-ye iff len(str(|yc|*nbits(xc)) <= -ye.

        # so if it's representable then xc**y < 10**p, and y <
        # p/log10(xc).  Hence if y*log10(xc) >= p then the result is

        With two arguments, compute a**b.  If a is negative then b
        must be integral.  The result will be inexact unless b is
        integral and the result is finite and can be expressed exactly
        in 'precision' digits.

        With three arguments, compute (a**b) % modulo.  For the
        three argument form, the following restrictions on the
        arguments hold:

         - all three arguments must be integral
         - b must be nonnegative
         - at least one of a or b must be nonzero
         - modulo must be nonzero and have at most 'precision' digits

        The result of pow(a, b, modulo) is identical to the result
        that would be obtained by computing (a**b) % modulo with
        unbounded precision, but is computed more efficiently.  It is
        always exact.
