OptionalInteger-class

OptionalList-class

OptionalCharacter-class

Class unions in the style of <code>OptionalFunction</code>
 from package methods, whose purpose is to allow slots
 <code>dim</code>, <code>dimnames</code>, and <code>names</code> of virtual class
 <code>flint</code> to be <code>NULL</code> or a vector of suitable
 type.
<code>OptionalInteger</code>, <code>OptionalList</code>, and
 <code>OptionalCharacter</code> are the unions of <code>NULL</code> and
 <code>integer</code>, <code>list</code>, and <code>character</code>, respectively.

An R interface to 'FLINT' <https://flintlib.org/>, a C library for
number theory. 'FLINT' extends GNU 'MPFR' <https://www.mpfr.org/>
and GNU 'MP' <https://gmplib.org/> with support for operations on
standard rings (the integers, the integers modulo n, finite fields,
the rational, p-adic, real, and complex numbers) as well as matrices
and polynomials over rings. 'FLINT' implements midpoint-radius
interval arithmetic, also known as ball arithmetic, in the real and
complex numbers, enabling computation in arbitrary precision with
rigorous propagation of rounding errors; see Johansson (2017)
<doi:10.1109/TC.2017.2690633>. Finally, 'FLINT' provides ball
arithmetic implementations of many special mathematical functions,
with high coverage of reference works such as the NIST Digital
Library of Mathematical Functions <https://dlmf.nist.gov/>. The R
interface defines S4 classes, generic functions, and methods for
representation and basic operations as well as plain R functions
mirroring and vectorizing entry points in the C library.
