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).

Example:

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

pure this(T : const(char)[])(T s);

Construct a BigInt from a decimal or hexadecimal string.

The number must be in the form of a D decimal or hex literal:

It may have a leading + or - sign; followed by "0x" if hexadecimal.

Underscores are permitted.

BUG: Should throw a IllegalArgumentException/ConvError if invalid character found

const pure nothrow long toLong();

Returns the value of this BigInt as a long,

or +- long.max if outside the representable range.

const pure nothrow int toInt();

Returns the value of this BigInt as an int,

or +- int.max if outside the representable range.

const pure nothrow @property size_t uintLength();

Number of significant uints which are used in storing this number.

The absolute value of this BigInt is always < 2^^(32*uintLength)

const pure nothrow @property size_t ulongLength();

Number of significant ulongs which are used in storing this number.

The absolute value of this BigInt is always < 2^^(64*ulongLength)

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

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

The output format is controlled via formatString:
