ln3 Method - SetSize

Description

Set the size of a large number.  The size of a large number is the number of digits used to represent the current value.  It is not the size of the array used to represent the multi-precision digits.  The array size is fixed for a particular installation.

 

See the GetSize method for more details about the size of a large number.

void SetSize( size_t size )

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
size	size_t	The size of the large number.  The size is the number of multi-precision digits used to represent the value in the large number.  A size of zero indicates a value of zero.

The various Set* functions should probably return a reference to *this.   This would allow the above to be written more compactly:

ln X; ... X.SetDigit( 0, 12 ).SetSize( 1 );
