Multiple-precision Reals

mpfr Type

class gmpy2.mpfr(n=0, /, precision=0)
class gmpy2.mpfr(n, /, precision, context)
class gmpy2.mpfr(s, /, precision=0, base=0)
class gmpy2.mpfr(s, /, precision, base, context)

Return a floating-point number after converting a numeric value n or a string s made of digits in the given base.

A string can be with fraction-part (with a period as a separator) and/or exponent-part with an exponent marker ‘e’ or ‘E’ for bases up to 10, else ‘@’ in any base. In bases 2 and 16, the exponent prefix can also be ‘p’ or ‘P’, in which case the exponent indicates a multiplication by a power of 2 instead of the base. The value of an exponent is always written in base 10. The fractional-part digits are parsed the same as the mpz type constructor does and both the whole number and exponent-part optionally can be preceded by ‘+’ or ‘-’. Every input, accepted by the float type constructor or the float.fromhex method is also accepted.

If a precision greater than or equal to 2 is specified, then it is used. A precision of 0 (the default) implies the precision of either the specified context or the current context is used. A precision of 1 minimizes the loss of precision by following these rules:

  1. If n is a radix-2 floating-point number, then the full precision of n is retained.

  2. If n is an integer, then the precision is the bit length of the integer.

__format__(fmt, /)

Return a Python string by formatting self using the format string ‘fmt’.

The format specification adopts the same general form as Python’s Format Specification Mini-Language. All of Python’s format types are supported, with the exception of ‘n’. Format types ‘a’ and ‘A’ (use uppercase digits) allow to represent floating-point number as a C99-style hexadecimal string. Format type ‘b’ allows format number in binary.

Five rounding modes are supported, as for context.round:

  • ‘U’: rounding towards plus infinity

  • ‘D’: rounding towards minus infinity

  • ‘Y’: rounding away from zero

  • ‘Z’: rounding towards zero

  • ‘N’: rounding to nearest

The rounding option must be set right before the presentation type. If it’s not specified, the context’s rounding mode is used.

The default format is like str(self) output, as altered by the other format modifiers.

as_integer_ratio()

Return the exact rational equivalent of an mpfr. Value is a tuple for compatibility with Python’s float.as_integer_ratio.

as_mantissa_exp()

Return the mantissa and exponent of an mpfr.

as_simple_fraction(precision=0)

Return a simple rational approximation to self. The result will be accurate to ‘precision’ bits. If ‘precision’ is 0, the precision of ‘self’ will be used.

conjugate()

Return the conjugate of self (which is just a new reference to self since self is not a complex number).

digits(base=10, prec=0, /)

Returns up to ‘prec’ digits in the given base. If ‘prec’ is 0, as many digits that are available are returned. No more digits than available given self’s precision are returned. ‘base’ must be between 2 and 62, inclusive. The result is a three element tuple containing the mantissa, the exponent, and the number of bits of precision.

is_finite()

Return True if self is an actual number (i.e. non NaN or Infinity). If self is an mpc, return True if both self.real and self.imag are finite.

is_infinite()

Return True if self is +Infinity or -Infinity. If self is an mpc, return True if either self.real or self.imag is infinite. Otherwise return False.

is_integer()

Return True if self is an integer; False otherwise.

is_nan()

Return True if self is NaN (Not-A-Number) else False.

is_regular()

Return True if self is not zero, NaN, or Infinity; False otherwise.

is_signed()

Return True if the sign bit of self is set.

is_zero()

Return True if self is equal to 0. If self is an mpc, return True if both self.real and self.imag are equal to 0.
