The primary class supported by the Real library is real. Arithmetic operators and many math library functions that are defined for floating types (float and double) in C++ are defined for Reals. In most contexts all that is necessary to replace ordinary floating point computations by infinite precision computations is to include the header file real.h and declare variables to have type Real rather than float or double. Values of type Real should be thought of as exact real numbers.
