##
Overview

A `BigInt` can represent arbitrarily large integers.

It is implemented under the hood with GMP.

NOTE To use `BigInt`, you must explicitly import it with `require "big"`

##
Included Modules

- Comparable(Float)
- Comparable(BigInt)
- Comparable(UInt128 | UInt16 | UInt32 | UInt64 | UInt8)
- Comparable(Int128 | Int16 | Int32 | Int64 | Int8)

Raises `ArgumentError` if the string doesn't denote a valid integer.

    require "big"

    BigInt.new("123456789123456789123456789123456789") # => 123456789123456789123456789123456789

Returns a read-only `Slice` of the limbs that make up this integer, which is effectively `abs.digits(2 ** N)` where `N` is the number of bits in `LibGMP::MpLimb`, except that an empty `Slice` is returned for zero.

This assumes GMP wasn't built with its experimental nails support: https://gmplib.org/manual/Low_002dlevel-Functions

num must be finite.

def self.new(num : BigInt) : self #

Returns num. Useful for generic code that does `T.new(...)` with `T` being a `Number`.

def **(other : Int) : BigInt #
Description copied from struct Int

Returns the value of raising `self` to the power of exponent.

Raises `ArgumentError` if exponent is negative: if this is needed, either use a float base or a float exponent.

Raises `OverflowError` in case of overflow.

Description copied from struct Int

Returns the result of shifting this number's bits count positions to the left.

- If count is greater than the number of bits of this integer, returns 0
- If count is negative, a right shift is performed

    8000 << 1  # => 16000
    8000 << 2  # => 32000

def <=>(other : Float::Primitive) : Int32 | Nil #
def >>(other : Int) : BigInt #
Description copied from struct Int

Returns the result of shifting this number's bits count positions to the right. Also known as arithmetic right shift.

- If count is greater than the number of bits of this integer, returns 0
- If count is negative, a left shift is performed

    8000 >> 1  # => 4000
    8000 >> 2  # => 2000

def bit(bit : Int) : Int32 #
def bit_length : Int32 #
Description copied from struct Int

Returns the number of bits of this int value.

“The number of bits” means that the bit position of the highest bit which is different to the sign bit. (The bit position of the bit 2**n is n+1.) If there is no such bit (zero or minus one), zero is returned.

I.e. This method returns `ceil(log2(self < 0 ? -self : self + 1))`.

    0.bit_length # => 0
    1.bit_length # => 1
    2.bit_length # => 2
    3.bit_length # => 2
    4.bit_length # => 3

    0b1.bit_length   # => 1
    0b10.bit_length  # => 2
    0b11.bit_length  # => 2

Description copied from struct Int

Returns the digits of a number in a given base. The digits are returned as an array with the least significant digit as the first array element.

    12345.digits      # => [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
    12345.digits(7)   # => [4, 6, 6, 0, 5]
    12345.digits(100) # => [45, 23, 1]

    -12345.digits(7) # => ArgumentError

def divisible_by?(number : BigInt) : Bool #
def divisible_by?(number : Int) : Bool #
def divmod(number : Int) : Tuple(BigInt, BigInt) #
def factorial : BigInt #
def gcd(other : BigInt) : BigInt #

Returns the greatest common divisor of `self` and other.

def gcd(other : Int) : Int #

Returns the greatest common divisor of `self` and other.

def lcm(other : BigInt) : BigInt #

Returns the least common multiple of `self` and other.

def lcm(other : Int) : BigInt #

Returns the least common multiple of `self` and other.

def popcount : Int #
Description copied from struct Int

Counts `1`-bits in the binary representation of this integer.

    5.popcount   # => 2
    -15.popcount # => 29

def remainder(other : Int) : BigInt #
Description copied from struct Int

Returns `self` remainder other.

This uses truncated division.

See `Int#tdiv` for more details.

def tdiv(other : Int) : BigInt #
Description copied from struct Int

Divides `self` by other using truncated division.

In truncated division, given two integers x and y:

- `q = x.tdiv(y)` is rounded toward zero
- `r = x.remainder(y)` has the sign of the first argument
- `x == q*y + r`

For example:

     x     y     x / y     x % y
     5     3       1         2
    -5     3      -1        -2
     5    -3      -1         2
    -5    -3       1        -2

Raises if other is `0`, or if other is `-1` and `self` is signed and is the minimum value for that integer type.

def to_big_d : BigDecimal #

def to_s(io : IO, base : Int = 10, *, precision : Int = 1, upcase : Bool = false) : Nil #
Description copied from struct Int

Appends a string representation of this integer to the given io.

base specifies the radix of the written string, and must be either 62 or a number between 2 and 36. By default, digits above 9 are represented by ASCII lowercase letters (`a` for 10, `b` for 11, etc.), but uppercase letters may be used if upcase is `true`, unless base 62 is used. In that case, lowercase letters are used for 10 to 35, and uppercase ones for 36 to 61, and upcase must be `false`.

precision specifies the minimum number of digits in the written string. If there are fewer digits than this number, the string is left-padded by zeros. If `self` and precision are both zero, returns an empty string.
