30 own methods · 7 forms written with extensions, listed under their method
the source: base/number/stzNumBuffer.ring(opens in a new tab) · All classes · The area reference: Numeric & optimization
Under each method, its extensions (Q CS XT Z ZZ IB W U): bold and ticked, it exists; struck, it does not. The extensions and what they mean
Examples: 0 come from the library's tests; 12 were composed from each method's signature and run for this page, on a fresh object, for example o1 = new stzNumBuffer([ 2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7, 9 ]). 18 methods have none yet. Examples run on 2026-10-03 12:54 inside the library at commit 0e72e2e2c.
Method
Explanation, as the source carries it
init
(no comment in the source: the name reads as a sentence) initno extension
Handle
the handle, and the honest burdenno extension
Haro has no destructors, so this is not optional for a large buffer. 3 examples runno extension
IsFreed
(no comment in the source: the name reads as a sentence) is freedno extension
composed example
o1 = new stzNumBuffer([ 2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7, 9 ]) ? o1.IsFreed() #--> 0composed from the signature, run for this page
Resize
Same as Free: Haro has no destructors, so this is not optional for a large buffer.no extension

reductions: a scalar out, nothing marshalled --------------------- Summed with NEUMAIER COMPENSATION. A naive total loses the low bits of every addend once it grows large relative to them -- add 1e16 and then a thousand 1.0s and the naive answer is still 1e16. This carries the lost part along. 1 examples runno extension
