fp Plugin ... Using my own fp multi-precision engine, fp Plugin for Real Studio adds three new data types, BigInteger, BigFloat, and BigComplex.
Except for available memory, there is no limitation on the size of a BigInteger.
BigFloat is a multi-precision floating point number. You can set both the internal precision and the decimal output precision for BigFloat, with no limitation except for available memory. BigComplex is composed of two BigFloats.
fp Plugin itself allows you to construct programs which can handle the three new data types much like doubles and
What's New
Version 5.1:
Corrects a bug in fpLnFactorial which limited precision, and gives a better output precision to fpBigFactorial.
Not only is it one of the most useful plugins for ReadStudio, and I expect Xcode, if you need numbers with a lot of digits, but just as important for me was that the modification of code from his previous plugin (Extended) was smooth as can be for me. That it is free is a statement about the professional character of the man.
I'm really happy that finally a plugin with these great features appears. Nothing to say about it, for me it's a worthful thing at all. No time yet to test it intensely, but what I see it works as it should. Again: many thanks for this and keep continuing your great work.
[Version 3.1]

fp Plugin itself allows you to construct programs which can handle the three new data types much like doubles and integers are handled. To a large extent the new data types can be freely used with the +, -, *, and / operators, and can be used in comparisons. And most of REALbasic's functions have been overloaded to take the new data types, where it makes sense to do so. Version 2.0 adds Euler's Constant and the Bessel functions for both integer and non-integer orders. Version 2.5 adds the Beta Function, the Incomplete Beta Function, the Error Functions, the Exponential Integral, the Fresnel Integrals, and the Confluent Hypergeometric Function.
I am releasing fp Plugin as freeware with an easy-to-meet license. It is unconditionally available for any use, but is without warranty.
