loop towards 2.02 in 0.02 steps
1.92
1.94
1.96
1.98
2.00
2.02

2.0 - 0.02 = 1.98

2.0 * 0.02 = 0.04

2.0 / 0.02 = 100.00

abs(-1.9) = 1.9

10.25 ^ 2.0 = 105.0625

square(123.25) = 11.10180165558725877924429226916325

NB you can only raise to integer powers.

get it from my website.

thank, some feedback!!

I've found a better library with all the brl.math functions and many more which allows 100 digit percision!

Its working wonderfully, but a fair bit still to wrap!
