  <body>&lt;p&gt;Currently, the full numeric tower is far from being implemented : only fixnums are available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Technically, a fixnum is in range min_long/4 &amp;lt;= fixnum &amp;lt; max_long/4, where min_long and max_long are respectively the smallest and biggest long integer on a given architecture. Thus, on a machine where sizeof(long) == 8 (64 bits), -2^62^ &amp;lt;= fixnum &amp;lt; 2^62^.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Operations currently implemented on fixnums are : +, -, *, &amp;lt;, &amp;gt;, &amp;lt;=, &amp;gt;=, is, isnt, pr, prn.&lt;/p&gt;</body>
