Am I missing something or is there no "smart" number class.
Well, NSDecimalNumber is what I call very very smart ;)
By smart I mean one that can actually do math even of the type [num1 plus:
num2] or [num1 inc] or the like. It seems vital for many applications
No, not really. In case you are about to do heavy math, you should use
plain C anyway for speed.
I'm surprised it doesn't leap off my cocoa browser!
If NSDecimalNumber did not leap off, blame CocoaBrowser, and consider
using something reasonable, like MarhsmallowLibrarian. Or the
ProjectBuilder itself, at worst: once it acquires indexes (yeah, it is a
BIG howler that framework indexes are not available as soon as the
appropriate framework is added to project!!!), it works reasonably well.
No offence to CocoaBrowser meant of course, it is just that I've
downloaded it for a friend of mine, and found that it DOES NOT HAVE A
FULLTEXT SEARCH?!? Well the browser part is nice enough (though cutting
out just one method description is very very bad: showing the complete
document and just scrolling it to the desired desc would be infinitely
better, since the context is important too), BUT without searching it
looks like a completely unuseable toy. Even the old NeXT HeaderViewer
could fulltext search (albeit DigitalLibrarian was much better). Well if a
majority of Cocoa developers use the thing, I can understand why such a
number of trivial questions occurs in cocoadev!
If I've overlooked something (like that the thing has a fulltext search
after all, and an option to show the complete document as God -- and, much
more importantly, its writer -- meant), I do humbly apologize: truth is
that I haven't played with it too long. Matter of factly, this entire
message is just a result of a mild shock from those five minutes I did ;)
