Math Library supporting arbitrary precision computation in any natural number base

A demo of the calculations is provided in src/rpn.c, which implements an rpn calculator that can add or subtract. It can be built with

gcc -g -Iinc src/rpn.c -o rpn

then, the resulting rpn executable can be run. On each input line you can enter a number, +, or -. To exit, enter quit.

Testing is provided in src/test.c. It is the target for the makefile. To build the tests, run

make debug

and run the resulting apml_test executable.

The library is implemented as a single-header C file. This means that there are no source files to add to your project if you want to use this.

#include "apml.h"

Then, you should be able to access all the definitions from the file.

This is not a full listing of all the functions implemented, only the basic ones you really need to get started.

• apml_t represents a pointer to the number object. It's implemented as a typedef to a pointer to the struct that represents the number. As it's a pointer, you will need to allocate memory, potentially like apml_t num = malloc(sizeof(*num)).
• apml_init() can be used to initialize an apml_t object. Provide the apml_t object and the base, and the function will initialize the apml_t
• apml_realloc() can be used to allocate more memory for an apml_t object. The amount of memory is given as number of new entries, not the number of bytes.
• apml_add_im() can be used to add two numbers. The result will be stored in the first number you pass to it.
• apml_sub_im() is similar to apml_add_im(), except that it performs subtraction rather than addition.
