Overview

Package big implements multi-precision arithmetic (big numbers). The following numeric types are supported:

  • Int signed integers
  • Rat rational numbers

Methods are typically of the form:

func (z *Int) Op(x, y *Int) *Int	(similar for *Rat)

and implement operations z = x Op y with the result as receiver; if it is one of the operands it may be overwritten (and its memory reused). To enable chaining of operations, the result is also returned. Methods returning a result other than *Int or *Rat take one of the operands as the receiver.

Types

type Int

type Int struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

An Int represents a signed multi-precision integer. The zero value for an Int represents the value 0.

func NewInt(x int64) *Int

NewInt allocates and returns a new Int set to x.

func (*Int) Abs

func (z *Int) Abs(x *Int) *Int

Abs sets z to |x| (the absolute value of x) and returns z.

func (z *Int) Add(x, y *Int) *Int

Add sets z to the sum x+y and returns z.

func (*Int) And

func (z *Int) And(x, y *Int) *Int

func (*Int) AndNot

func (z *Int) AndNot(x, y *Int) *Int

AndNot sets z = x &^ y and returns z.

func (*Int) Binomial

func (z *Int) Binomial(n, k int64) *Int

Binomial sets z to the binomial coefficient of (n, k) and returns z.

func (*Int) Bit

func (x *Int) Bit(i int) uint

Bit returns the value of the i'th bit of x. That is, it returns (x>>i)&1. The bit index i must be >= 0.

func (*Int) BitLen

func (x *Int) BitLen() int

BitLen returns the length of the absolute value of x in bits. The bit length of 0 is 0.

func (*Int) Bits

func (x *Int) Bits() []Word

Bits provides raw (unchecked but fast) access to x by returning its absolute value as a little-endian Word slice. The result and x share the same underlying array. Bits is intended to support implementation of missing low-level Int functionality outside this package; it should be avoided otherwise.

Bytes returns the absolute value of x as a big-endian byte slice.

func (*Int) Cmp

func (x *Int) Cmp(y *Int) (r int)

-1 if x <  y
 0 if x == y
+1 if x >  y

func (*Int) Div

func (z *Int) Div(x, y *Int) *Int

Div sets z to the quotient x/y for y != 0 and returns z. If y == 0, a division-by-zero run-time panic occurs. Div implements Euclidean division (unlike Go); see DivMod for more details.

(See Raymond T. Boute, “The Euclidean definition of the functions div and mod”. ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems (TOPLAS), 14(2):127-144, New York, NY, USA, 4/1992. ACM press.) See QuoRem for T-division and modulus (like Go).

Format is a support routine for fmt.Formatter. It accepts the formats 'b' (binary), 'o' (octal), 'd' (decimal), 'x' (lowercase hexadecimal), and 'X' (uppercase hexadecimal). Also supported are the full suite of package fmt's format verbs for integral types, including '+', '-', and ' ' for sign control, '#' for leading zero in octal and for hexadecimal, a leading "0x" or "0X" for "%#x" and "%#X" respectively, specification of minimum digits precision, output field width, space or zero padding, and left or right justification.

Example
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"math/big"
)

func main() {
	// The Scan function is rarely used directly;
	// the fmt package recognizes it as an implementation of fmt.Scanner.
	i := new(big.Int)
	_, err := fmt.Sscan("18446744073709551617", i)

SetInt64 sets z to x and returns z.

func (*Int) SetString

func (z *Int) SetString(s string, base int) (*Int, bool)

SetString sets z to the value of s, interpreted in the given base, and returns z and a boolean indicating success. If SetString fails, the value of z is undefined but the returned value is nil.

The base argument must be 0 or a value from 2 through MaxBase. If the base is 0, the string prefix determines the actual conversion base. A prefix of “0x” or “0X” selects base 16; the “0” prefix selects base 8, and a “0b” or “0B” prefix selects base 2. Otherwise the selected base is 10.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math/big"
)

func main() {
	i := new(big.Int)
