This is because it directly modifies the number's exponent by addition or subtraction, rather than performing ordinary multiplication or division on the entire number. I suspect that it's also faster than ordinary multiplication and division, which could be useful in long-running programs, but I haven't tested that. <0|ΙΈ|0> -Joe- |
