It has a +rich set of number classes: + + - Integers (with unlimited precision), + - Rational numbers, + - Floating-point numbers: + Short float, + Single float, + Double float, + Long float (with unlimited precision), + - Complex numbers, + - Modular integers (integers modulo a fixed integer), + - Univariate polynomials. + +The subtypes of the complex numbers among these are exactly the types +of numbers known to the Common Lisp language. Therefore CLN can be used +for Common Lisp implementations, giving `CLN' another meaning: it +becomes an abbreviation of "Common Lisp Numbers". + +WWW: http://clisp.cons.org/~haible/packages-cln.html |
