8.143. Math::BigInt
Allows use of arbitrary length integers, in which the following apply to all methods, except as noted:
-
The object $i remains unchanged.
-
Big integer strings (bints) have the form /^\s*[+-]?[\d\s]+$/.
-
All methods except bcmp return a big integer string or strings.
-
Embedded whitespace is ignored.
-
Output values are always in the canonical form: /^[+-]\d+$/.
-
The return value NaN results when an input argument is not a number, or when a divide by zero is attempted.
| new |
$i = Math::BigInt->new(string)
Creates a new object, $i.
| babs |
$i->babs
Returns absolute value of $i.
| badd |
$i->badd(bint)
Returns sum of bint and $i.
| bcmp |
$i->bcmp(bint)
Compares $i to bint. The bcmp method returns -1, 0, or 1 depending on whether $f is less than, equal to, or greater than the number string given as an argument. If the number string is undefined or null, undef is returned.
| bdiv |
$i->bdiv(bint)
Returns $i divided by bint. In list context, returns a two-element array containing the quotient of the division and the remainder; in scalar context, returns only the quotient.
| bgcd |
$i->bgcd(bint)
Returns greatest common divisor of $i and bint.
| bmod |
$i->bmod(bint)
Returns $i modulus bint.
| bmul |
$i->bmul(bint)
Returns $i multiplied by bint.
| bneg |
$i->bneg
Returns negative of $i.
| bnorm |
$i->bnorm
Returns normalization of $i.
| bsub |
$i->bsub(bint)
Returns $i minus bint.
