# 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

  this(Range)(Range `s`)
  if (isBidirectionalRange!Range && isSomeChar!(ElementType!Range) && !isInfinite!Range && !isNarrowString!Range);
  pure this(Range)(Range `s`)
  if (isNarrowString!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:

    Range `s` | a finite bidirectional range of any character type

    Throws:
    std.conv.ConvException if the string doesn't represent a valid number
  this(Range)(bool `isNegative`, Range `magnitude`)
  if (isInputRange!Range && isUnsigned!(ElementType!Range) && (hasLength!Range || isForwardRange!Range) && !isInfinite!Range);
    Construct a BigInt from a sign and a magnitude.
    The magnitude is an input range of unsigned integers that satisfies either std.range.primitives.hasLength or std.range.primitives.isForwardRange. The first (leftmost) element of the magnitude is considered the most significant.
    Parameters:

    bool `isNegative` | true for negative, false for non-negative (ignored when magnitude is zero)
    Range `magnitude` | a finite range of unsigned integers

    Examples:

        ubyte[] magnitude = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
        auto b1 = BigInt(false, magnitude);
        writeln(cast(long)b1); // 0x01_02_03_04_05_06L
        auto b2 = BigInt(true, magnitude);

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

        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));

  if (isFloatingPoint!T);
    Implements BigInt equality test with other BigInt's and built-in numeric types.
    Examples:

        // Note that when comparing a BigInt to a float or double the
        // full precision of the BigInt is always considered, unlike
        // when comparing an int to a float or a long to a double.
        assert(BigInt(123456789) != cast(float) 123456789);

  const pure nothrow @nogc @safe T `opCast`(T : bool)();

        // cast(double)BigInt("0x1abc_def1_2345_6000_0000_0000_0000_0000")

        writeln(-0x1.3456_78ab_cdefp+108L);

    Examples:
    Rounding when casting to floating point

        // BigInts whose values cannot be exactly represented as float/double/real
        // are rounded when cast to float/double/real. When cast to float or
        // double or 64-bit real the rounding is strictly defined. When cast
        // to extended-precision real the rounding rules vary by environment.

        // BigInts that fall somewhere between two non-infinite floats/doubles
        // are rounded to the closer value when cast to float/double.

        // BigInts that fall exactly between two non-infinite floats/doubles
        // are rounded away from zero when cast to float/double. (Note that
        // in most environments this is NOT the same rounding rule rule used
        // when casting int/long to float/double.)
        writeln(0x1.aaa_ab0p+28f); // cast(float)BigInt(0x1aaa_aaf0)

        const int w = 200;

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

    Examples:

        auto x = BigInt("0x1abc_de80_0000_0000_0000_0000_0000_0000");
        BigInt y = x - 1;

  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:

        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`();

  const void `toString`(scope void delegate(const(char)[]) `sink`, string `formatString`);
  const void `toString`(scope void delegate(const(char)[]) `sink`, ref scope const FormatSpec!char `f`);
    Convert the BigInt to string, passing it to the given sink.
    Parameters:

    Writer `sink` | An OutputRange 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 pure nothrow @nogc @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"

  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:

    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.

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

        auto a = BigInt("1000");

pure nothrow @safe string `toDecimalString`(const(BigInt) `x`);
  Parameters:

  const(BigInt) `x` | The BigInt to convert to a decimal string.

  Returns:
  A string that represents the BigInt as a decimal number.
  Examples:

      auto x = BigInt("123");
      x *= 1000;
      x += 456;

      auto xstr = x.toDecimalString();
      writeln(xstr); // "123456"

@safe string `toHex`(const(BigInt) `x`);
  Parameters:

  const(BigInt) `x` | The BigInt to convert to a hexadecimal string.

  Returns:
  A string that represents the BigInt as a hexadecimal (base 16) number in upper case.
  Examples:

      auto x = BigInt("123");
      x *= 1000;
      x += 456;

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

Unsigned!T `absUnsign`(T)(T `x`)
if (isIntegral!T);
  Returns the absolute value of x converted to the corresponding unsigned type.
  Parameters:

  T `x` | The integral value to return the absolute value of.

  Returns:
  The absolute value of x.
  Examples:

      writeln((-1).absUnsign); // 1
      writeln(1.absUnsign); // 1

pure nothrow @safe void `divMod`(const BigInt `dividend`, const BigInt `divisor`, out BigInt `quotient`, out BigInt `remainder`);
  Finds the quotient and remainder for the given dividend and divisor in one operation.
  Parameters:

  BigInt `dividend` | the BigInt to divide
  BigInt `divisor` | the BigInt to divide the dividend by
  BigInt `quotient` | is set to the result of the division
  BigInt `remainder` | is set to the remainder of the division

  Examples:

      auto a = BigInt(123);
      auto b = BigInt(25);
      BigInt q, r;

      divMod(a, b, q, r);

      writeln(q); // 4
      writeln(r); // 23
      writeln(q * b + r); // a

pure nothrow @safe BigInt `powmod`(BigInt `base`, BigInt `exponent`, BigInt `modulus`);
  Fast power modulus calculation for BigInt operands.
  Parameters:

  BigInt `base` | the BigInt is basic operands.
  BigInt `exponent` | the BigInt is power exponent of base.
  BigInt `modulus` | the BigInt is modules to be modular of base ^ exponent.

  Returns:
  The power modulus value of (base ^ exponent) % modulus.
  Examples:
  for powmod

      BigInt base = BigInt("123456789012345678901234567890");
      BigInt exponent = BigInt("1234567890123456789012345678901234567");
      BigInt modulus = BigInt("1234567");

      BigInt result = powmod(base, exponent, modulus);
      writeln(result); // 359079
