::: Yeah, there isn't an official library. The forum and the wiki are it. Laszlo is the goto person for math related things in autohotkey. I have added a link to it on the [http://www.autohotkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Script_Listing#Math_.26_Calculators wiki] as well.
::I would suggest then that if Laszlo's library is available at a standard place, then the AHK example could just refer to the library and show its use in solving the problem rather than quote the library on RC, as, for AHK at least, that would then make Laszlo's bignum library a "standard library"? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 06:06, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
Late answer... I agree that external libraries should be allowed, and it make little sense to require ''a single, overwhelming, library of varied modules that is endorsed by its home site''. In some cases, the language does not have a single home page, simply because it's an international standard. In Fortran, there are at least 3 well known multiprecision libraries (by [https://maths-people.anu.edu.au/~brent/pub/pub043.html Brent], [http://crd-legacy.lbl.gov/~dhbailey/mpdist/ Bailey] and [http://myweb.lmu.edu/dmsmith/fmlib.html Smith]). Should we dismiss all of them because it is required to have only one ''overwhelming'' library? As Michael Mol commented above several years ago, that means we would need another more general task, and duplicate code. The task looks currently too rigid to me. For the record, I have added a solution using Smith's FM, and I may add solutions with the other two later.
