/*`To define a 50 decimal digit type using `cpp_dec_float`,
you must pass two template parameters to `boost::multiprecision::number`.

It may be more legible to use a two-staged type definition such as this:

``
typedef boost::multiprecision::cpp_dec_float<50> mp_backend;
typedef boost::multiprecision::number<mp_backend, boost::multiprecision::et_off> cpp_dec_float_50_noet;
``

Here, we first define `mp_backend` as `cpp_dec_float` with 50 digits.
The second step passes this backend to `boost::multiprecision::number`
with `boost::multiprecision::et_off`, an enumerated type.

  typedef boost::multiprecision::number<boost::multiprecision::cpp_dec_float<50>, boost::multiprecision::et_off>
  cpp_dec_float_50_noet;

You can reduce typing with a `using` directive `using namespace boost::multiprecision;`
if desired, as shown below.

using namespace boost::multiprecision;


/*`Now `cpp_dec_float_50_noet` or `cpp_dec_float_50_et`
can be used as a direct replacement for built-in types like `double` etc.
