public class BigInteger extends Number implements Comparable<BigInteger>
Semantics of arithmetic operations exactly mimic those of Java's integer
arithmetic operators, as defined in The Java Language Specification.
For example, division by zero throws an ArithmeticException
, and
division of a negative by a positive yields a negative (or zero) remainder.
All of the details in the Spec concerning overflow are ignored, as
BigIntegers are made as large as necessary to accommodate the results of an
operation.
Semantics of shift operations extend those of Java's shift operators
to allow for negative shift distances. A right-shift with a negative
shift distance results in a left shift, and vice-versa. The unsigned
right shift operator (>>>
) is omitted, as this operation makes
little sense in combination with the "infinite word size" abstraction
provided by this class.
Semantics of bitwise logical operations exactly mimic those of Java's
bitwise integer operators. The binary operators (and
,
or
, xor
) implicitly perform sign extension on the shorter
of the two operands prior to performing the operation.
Comparison operations perform signed integer comparisons, analogous to those performed by Java's relational and equality operators.
Modular arithmetic operations are provided to compute residues, perform
exponentiation, and compute multiplicative inverses. These methods always
return a non-negative result, between 0
and (modulus - 1)
,
inclusive.
Bit operations operate on a single bit of the two's-complement representation of their operand. If necessary, the operand is sign- extended so that it contains the designated bit. None of the single-bit operations can produce a BigInteger with a different sign from the BigInteger being operated on, as they affect only a single bit, and the "infinite word size" abstraction provided by this class ensures that there are infinitely many "virtual sign bits" preceding each BigInteger.
For the sake of brevity and clarity, pseudo-code is used throughout the
descriptions of BigInteger methods. The pseudo-code expression
(i + j)
is shorthand for "a BigInteger whose value is
that of the BigInteger i
plus that of the BigInteger j
."
The pseudo-code expression (i == j)
is shorthand for
"true
if and only if the BigInteger i
represents the same
value as the BigInteger j
." Other pseudo-code expressions are
interpreted similarly.
All methods and constructors in this class throw
NullPointerException
when passed
a null object reference for any input parameter.
BigInteger must support values in the range
-2Integer.MAX_VALUE
(exclusive) to
+2Integer.MAX_VALUE
(exclusive)
and may support values outside of that range.
The range of probable prime values is limited and may be less than
the full supported positive range of BigInteger
.
The range must be at least 1 to 2500000000.
ArithmeticException

the result is out of the supported range of
-2Integer.MAX_VALUE
