NAME
       Math::BigInt::FastCalc - Math::BigInt::Calc with some XS
       for more speed

SYNOPSIS
       Provides support for big integer calculations. Not
       intended to be used by other modules. Other modules which
       sport the same functions can also be used to support
       Math::BigInt, like Math::BigInt::GMP or
       Math::BigInt::Pari.

DESCRIPTION
       In order to allow for multiple big integer libraries,
       Math::BigInt was rewritten to use library modules for core
       math routines. Any module which follows the same API as
       this can be used instead by using the following:

               use Math::BigInt lib => 'libname';

       'libname' is either the long name ('Math::BigInt::Pari'),
       or only the short version like 'Pari'. To use this
       library:

               use Math::BigInt lib => 'FastCalc';

       Note that from Math::BigInt v1.76 onwards, FastCalc will
       be loaded automatically, if possible.

STORAGE
       FastCalc works exactly like Calc, in stores the numbers in
       decimal form, chopped into parts.

METHODS
       The following functions are now implemented in
       FastCalc.xs:

               _is_odd         _is_even        _is_one         _is_zero
               _is_two         _is_ten
               _zero           _one            _two            _ten
               _acmp           _len            _num
               _inc            _dec
               __strip_zeros   _copy
