Hi all...
I am trying to create something which allows me to calculate numbers to any precision (VB.NET/2005). I was wondering:
1. Whether I should make it a Class or a Structure
2. How to implement basic arithmetic operations (algorithms for Multiplication, Division, and Exponentiation of any base)
3. If such a thing for VB.NET already exists.
4. Whether something like this would be efficient enough for programs like graphing software.
String arithmetic does not count, since it takes up too much space and is inefficient; instead, I am looking for an array of Bytes, for example.
Thank you!
