ARF_PREC_EXACT
Synopsis
#include <flint/arf.h>ARF_PREC_EXACTsourceA precision (WORD_MAX) meaning that no rounding takes place. It may only be passed to operations whose exact result is a dyadic number, such as addition, multiplication and conversion from integers, and only when that result fits in memory: adding 1 and 2^{-10^{12}} exactly needs 10^{12} bits. If in doubt, use a large finite precision and check the inexact flag instead.
