BigFloat
.. BigFloat(x)
Create an arbitrary precision floating point number. ``x`` may be
an ``Integer``, a ``Float64`` or a ``BigInt``. The
usual mathematical operators are defined for this type, and results
are promoted to a ``BigFloat``.
Note that because decimal literals are converted to floating point numbers
when parsed, ``BigFloat(2.1)`` may not yield what you expect. You may instead
prefer to initialize constants from strings via :func:`parse`, or using the
``big`` string literal.
