NAME

Arithmetic::PaperAndPencil - simulating paper and pencil techniques for basic arithmetic operations

SYNOPSIS

use Arithmetic::PaperAndPencil;

my Arithmetic::PaperAndPencil $paper-sheet .= new;
my Arithmetic::PaperAndPencil::Number $x .= new(value => '355000000');
my Arithmetic::PaperAndPencil::Number $y .= new(value => '113');

$paper-sheet.division(dividend => $x, divisor => $y);
my Str $html = $paper-sheet.html(lang => 'fr', silent => False, level => 3);
'division.html'.IO.spurt($html);

$paper-sheet .= new; # emptying previous content
my Arithmetic::PaperAndPencil::Number $dead .= new(value => 'DEAD', radix => 16);
my Arithmetic::PaperAndPencil::Number $beef .= new(value => 'BEEF', radix => 16);

$paper-sheet.addition($dead, $beef);
$html = $paper-sheet.html(lang => 'fr', silent => False, level => 3);
'addition.html'.IO.spurt($html);

The first HTML file ends with

 355000000|113

DESCRIPTION

Arithmetic::PaperAndPencil is a module which allows simulating the paper and pencil techniques for basic arithmetic operations on integers: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but also square root extraction and conversion from a radix to another.

PATCHES WELCOME

When rendering an operation as HTML, the module displays spoken French sentences. If you know the equivalent sentences in another language, you can contact me to add the other language to the distribution, or you can even send me a patch. Thank you in advance.
