bc.number

n = bc.number (n)

Create a new big number based on n, where n can be a string if needed, to represent a large number.

eg.

a = bc.number ("1234.45534535345345434")
b = bc.number (5678)

If you are planning to use decimal places, you should call bc.digits first, otherwise the number may not be stored to the number of decimal places you wanted.

eg.

bc.digits (20)
a = bc.number ("1234.45534535345345434")
