/*`[h5 Using Boost.Multiprecision `cpp_float` for numerical calculations with high precision.]
|
|
|
|
The Boost.Multiprecision library can be used for computations requiring precision
|
|
exceeding that of standard built-in types such as float, double
|
|
and long double. For extended-precision calculations, Boost.Multiprecision
|
|
supplies a template data type called cpp_dec_float. The number of decimal
|
|
digits of precision is fixed at compile-time via template parameter.
|
|
|
|
To use these floating-point types and constants, we need some includes:
