Summary: Numbers represented using scientific notation
"Data.Scientific" provides the number type 'Scientific'. Scientific numbers are
arbitrary precision and space efficient. They are represented using
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation scientific notation>.
The implementation uses a coefficient 'c :: 'Integer'' and a base-10 exponent
'e :: 'Int''. A scientific number corresponds to the 'Fractional' number:
''fromInteger' c * 10 '^^' e'.

Note that since we're using an 'Int' to represent the exponent these numbers
aren't truly arbitrary precision. I intend to change the type of the exponent
to 'Integer' in a future release.

The main application of 'Scientific' is to be used as the target of parsing
arbitrary precision numbers coming from an untrusted source. The advantages
over using 'Rational' for this are that:

* A 'Scientific' is more efficient to construct. Rational numbers need to be
constructed using '%' which has to compute the 'gcd' of the 'numerator' and
'denominator'.

* 'Scientific' is safe against numbers with huge exponents. For example:
'1e1000000000 :: 'Rational'' will fill up all space and crash your program.
Scientific works as expected:

>>> read "1e1000000000" :: Scientific 1.0e1000000000

* Also, the space usage of converting scientific numbers with huge exponents to
''Integral's' (like: 'Int') or ''RealFloat's' (like: 'Double' or 'Float') will
always be bounded by the target type.

Changelog

* Wed Oct 21 2026 Peter Simons <psimons@suse.com>
  - Update scientific to version 0.3.10.0.
    0.3.10.0
    * Fix run-time crash (introduced in 0.3.9.0) in Eq and Ord when
    comparing values with (opposite) extreme exponents.
    Versions prior 0.3.9.0 instead reported invalid results.
    * Document that 'normalize' may wrap around (overflow) the exponent.
    Therefore current 'toDecimalDigits' doesn't work correctly,
    and in turn values of 'Scientific' with exponents close to
    maxBound cannot be printed reliably.
    This is limitation has been there for at least a decade
    (it is present in scientific-0.3.4.4, the oldest scientific
    buildable with GHC-8.0).
    The toDecimalDigits issue cannot be fixed without at least changing
    its type signature (e.g. use Integer for a scientific exponent),
    thus postponed until next major release.
* Sun Sep 27 2026 Peter Simons <psimons@suse.com>
  - Update scientific to version 0.3.9.0.
    0.3.9.0
    * Reimplement most internal functions which used to normalize inputs
    to not unnecessarily normalize them.
    * Speedup 'normalize' and 'toDecimalDigits'. Now both are practically
    linear in the coefficient size.
    Thanks to Andrzej Rybczak for reporting these issues.
