Arbitrary-precision floating-point numbers represented using

|

scientific notation.

A Scientific number is an arbitrary-precision floating-point number
|
||
|
|
represented using scientific notation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A scientific number with coefficient c and base10Exponent e
|
||
|
|
corresponds to the Fractional number: fromInteger c * 10 ^^ e
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Its primary use-case is to serve as the target of parsing floating
|
||
|
|
point numbers. Since the textual representation of floating point
|
||
|
|
numbers use scientific notation they can be efficiently parsed to a
|
||
|
|
Scientific number.
