std.bigint

struct BigInt;

A struct representing an arbitrary precision integer.

All arithmetic operations are supported, except unsigned shift right (>>>). Bitwise operations (|, &, ^, ~) are supported, and behave as if BigInt was an infinite length 2's complement number.

BigInt implements value semantics using copy-on-write. This means that assignment is cheap, but operations such as x++ will cause heap allocation. (But note that for most bigint operations, heap allocation is inevitable anyway.)

Examples:

BigInt a = "9588669891916142";
BigInt b = "7452469135154800";
auto c = a * b;
writeln(c); // BigInt("71459266416693160362545788781600")
auto d = b * a;
writeln(d); // BigInt("71459266416693160362545788781600")
writeln(d); // c
d = c * BigInt("794628672112");
writeln(d); // BigInt("56783581982794522489042432639320434378739200")
auto e = c + d;
writeln(e); // BigInt("56783581982865981755459125799682980167520800")
auto f = d + c;
writeln(f); // e
auto g = f - c;
writeln(g); // d
g = f - d;
writeln(g); // c
e = 12345678;
g = c + e;
auto h = g / b;
auto i = g % b;
writeln(h); // a
writeln(i); // e
BigInt j = "-0x9A56_57f4_7B83_AB78";
BigInt k = j;
j ^^= 11;
writeln(k^^11); // j

if (isSomeString!Range);

Construct a BigInt from a decimal or hexadecimal string. The number must be in the form of a decimal or hex literal. It may have a leading + or - sign, followed by 0x or 0X if hexadecimal. Underscores are permitted in any location after the 0x and/or the sign of the number.

Throws:

std.conv.ConvException if the string doesn't represent a valid number

This binary operator returns a narrower, built-in integer type where applicable, according to the following table.

BigInt	%	uint	→	long
BigInt	%	long	→	long
BigInt	%	ulong	→	BigInt
BigInt	%	other type	→	int

Examples:

auto  x  = BigInt("1_000_000_500");

ulong ul = 2_000_000UL;
int   i  = 500_000;
short s  = 30_000;

assert(is(typeof(x % l)  == long)   && x % l  == 500L);
assert(is(typeof(x % ul) == BigInt) && x % ul == BigInt(500));

BigInt z = 123 - x;
writeln(z); // BigInt("23")

// Dividing a built-in integer type by BigInt always results in
// something that fits in a built-in type, so the built-in type is
// returned, not BigInt.
assert(is(typeof(1000 / x) == int));
writeln(1000 / x); // 10

const pure nothrow @nogc T opCast(T)()
if (is(Unqual!T == BigInt));

Implements casting to/from qualified BigInt's.

Warning Casting to/from const or immutable may break type system guarantees. Use with care.

const pure nothrow @nogc @safe long toLong();

Returns:

The value of this BigInt as a long, or long.max/long.min if outside the representable range.

Examples:

long l = b.toLong();
writeln(l); // 12345

const pure nothrow @nogc @safe int toInt();

Returns:

The value of this BigInt as an int, or int.max/int.min if outside the representable range.

Examples:

auto big = BigInt("5_000_000");
auto i = big.toInt();
writeln(i); // 5_000_000

// Numbers that are too big to fit into an int will be clamped to int.max.

i = tooBig.toInt();
writeln(i); // int.max

const pure nothrow @nogc @property @safe size_t uintLength();

const void toString(scope void delegate(const(char)[]) sink, string formatString);

const void toString(scope void delegate(const(char)[]) sink, ref const FormatSpec!char f);

Convert the BigInt to string, passing it to the given sink.

Parameters:

void delegate(const(char)[]) sink	A delegate for accepting possibly piecewise segments of the formatted string.
string formatString	A format string specifying the output format. Available output formats: "d" Decimal "o" Octal "x" Hexadecimal, lower case "X" Hexadecimal, upper case "s" Default formatting (same as "d") null Default formatting (same as "d")

Examples:

toString is rarely directly invoked; the usual way of using it is via std.format.format:

import std.format : format;

auto x = BigInt("1_000_000");
x *= 12345;

writeln(format("%d", x)); // "12345000000"
writeln(format("%x", x)); // "2_dfd1c040"
writeln(format("%X", x)); // "2_DFD1C040"
writeln(format("%o", x)); // "133764340100"

const nothrow @safe size_t toHash();

Returns:

A unique hash of the BigInt's value suitable for use in a hash table.

Examples:

toHash is rarely directly invoked; it is implicitly used when BigInt is used as the key of an associative array.

string[BigInt] aa;
aa[BigInt(123)] = "abc";
aa[BigInt(456)] = "def";

writeln(aa[BigInt(123)]); // "abc"
writeln(aa[BigInt(456)]); // "def"

Parameters:

T	the type to view the underlying representation as
size_t n	The nth number to retrieve. Must be less than ulongLength or uintLength with respect to T.
