1. RE: bignum v0.8
Kat -
If you get the chance, adding a log() and power() functions would be
very useful. During the last contest, my ill-fated entry used the log()
function to create a hash function that provided unique hashes for each
pattern, except where the precision of the log()function smooched things
together. With the higher precision log() and power() functions, I
would be able to recover the pattern from the hash value.
This wouldn't have helped my chance of winning, of course. I had to
resort to so many tricks to try to keep up with the winning Euphoria
speed freaks that I actually introduced an error on entries with
non-alphabetical characters. Such is life when you get in a hurry!
Thanks for the bignum work. Looks like it could be very useful!
