# std.bigint

Arbitrary-precision ('bignum') arithmetic.
Performance is optimized for numbers below ~1000 decimal digits. For X86 machines, highly optimised assembly routines are used.
The following algorithms are currently implemented:

- Karatsuba multiplication
- Squaring is optimized independently of multiplication
- Divide-and-conquer division
- Binary exponentiation

For very large numbers, consider using the GMP library instead.

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 (isBidirectionalRange!Range && isSomeChar!(ElementType!Range) && !isInfinite!Range && !isSomeString!Range);
  pure this(Range)(Range `s`)
  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.
    Parameters:

        auto y = BigInt("456");
        BigInt z = x * y;
        writeln(z); // BigInt("56088")

  const pure nothrow auto `opBinary`(string op, T)(T `y`)
  if (op == "%" && isIntegral!T);
    Implements a narrowing remainder operation with built-in integer types.
    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:

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

        writeln(y); // BigInt("223")

        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

        writeln(x); // x
        assert(x != y);
        writeln(x); // y + 5

    Implements casting to bool.
    Examples:

        // Non-zero values are regarded as true
        auto x = BigInt("1");

        assert(x);
        assert(y);

        // Zero value is regarded as false
        auto z = BigInt("0");
        assert(!z);

    Implements casting to integer types.
    Throws:
    std.conv.ConvOverflowException if the number exceeds the target type's range.
    Examples:

        import std.exception : assertThrown;

        writeln(BigInt("0").to!int); // 0

        writeln(BigInt("0").to!ubyte); // 0
        writeln(BigInt("255").to!ubyte); // 255
        assertThrown!ConvOverflowException(BigInt("256").to!ubyte);

  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.

    Examples:

        const(BigInt) x = BigInt("123");
        BigInt y = cast() x;    // cast away const
        writeln(y); // x

  const pure nothrow @nogc int `opCmp`(ref const BigInt `y`);
  const pure nothrow @nogc int `opCmp`(T)(T `y`)
  if (isIntegral!T);

        int z = 50;
        const int w = 200;

        assert(y < x);

        assert(z > y);
        assert(x < w);

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

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

        auto b = BigInt("12345");
        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.
        auto tooBig = BigInt("5_000_000_000");
        i = tooBig.toInt();
        writeln(i); // int.max

  const pure nothrow @nogc @property @safe size_t `uintLength`();
    Number of significant uints which are used in storing this number. The absolute value of this BigInt is always < 232*`uintLength`
  const pure nothrow @nogc @property @safe size_t `ulongLength`();
    Number of significant ulongs which are used in storing this number. The absolute value of this BigInt is always < 264*`ulongLength`
  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"

  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"

  const T `getDigit`(T = ulong)(size_t `n`)
  if (is(T == ulong) || is(T == uint));
    Gets the nth number in the underlying representation that makes up the whole BigInt.
    Parameters:

    size_t `n` | The nth number to retrieve. Must be less than ulongLength or uintLength with respect to T.

    Returns:
    The nth ulong in the representation of this BigInt.
    Examples:

        auto b = BigInt("2_000_000_000_000_000_000_000_000_000");
        writeln(b.ulongLength()); // 2
        writeln(b.getDigit(0)); // 4584946418820579328
        writeln(b.getDigit(1)); // 108420217

        writeln(b.uintLength()); // 3
        writeln(b.getDigit!uint(0)); // 3489660928
        writeln(b.getDigit!uint(1)); // 1067516025
        writeln(b.getDigit!uint(2)); // 108420217

      x *= 1000;
      x += 456;

      auto xstr = x.toHex();
      writeln(xstr); // "1E240"

Unsigned!T `absUnsign`(T)(T `x`)
