Bigdecimal

Hi
I require "bigdecimal"
but i dont have 3.1.to_d !!
Is .to_digits an alias for .to_d ?

Bigdec is extremely slow. Is there another solution?

Thx Berg

Besides being an enjoyable language to use, Ruby has actual
documentation; here's an example:

"slow" compared to what? "solution" for what problem?

Hi
ri: BigDecimal extends the native Numeric class to provide ... #to_d

So do "I" have to extend/include it? require seems not to be enough, to_d
doesnt work.
( does require only load the file, or executes it already ?)

speed: 15times slower than float-operations with same numbers.

Solution for getting better precision than float...
Thx Berg

again: read . the . documentation

Hello Hassan
perhaps you could tell me which paragraph in
http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.3.0/libdoc/bigdecimal/rdoc/BigDecimal.html#method-i-to_digits
contains the information what to do if 3.1.to_d isnt working? (no such
method... after requiring)

Thx Berg
