Apr 04, 2018 Dismiss Join GitHub today. GitHub is home to over 40 million developers working together to host and review code, manage projects, and build software together. I am trying to implement Big Number in c with strings. First I am doing operator overloading for '+' operator, addition for digit length 3 is coming correct but for less than 3 is giving garbage value after result.
Javascript's native Number type is a double: a 64-bit floating point number. This implies certain limitations in the range of values it can support: it can only hold integers smaller than +/- 2^53 without losing precision, and it can only go up to +/- 2^1024 total. Sometimes, you need more power than that, which means a bignum library.
Bignum - a JS library for extra-large numbers. Javascript's native Number type is a double: a 64-bit floating point number. This implies certain limitations in the range of values it can support: it can only hold integers smaller than +/- 2^53 without losing precision, and it can only go up to +/.
Currently, the library consists of one class, named Z after the common name for the integers. Z can hold arbitrary-sized integers with perfect precision. Soon I plan to add a Q class for ratios, then likely a C class for complex numbers, and finally might look into either an algebraic number class or a limited (but arbitrarily-high) precision floating-point class.

While I have done decent amounts of work to make this library fast and efficient, I'm sure there's plenty more to do. Pull Requests that can improve speed without drastically killing readability are much appreciated!

Bignum objects hold integers outside the range of Fixnum. Bignum objects are created automatically when integer calculations would otherwise overflow a Fixnum.When a calculation involving Bignum objects returns a result that will fit in a Fixnum, the result is automatically converted. For the purposes of the bitwise operations and , a Bignum is treated as if it were. For question 4, use explicit operator bool const if C11 is allowed, otherwise google 'Safe-Bool-Idiom'. Also, you might find my df.operators library useful (again if C11 is an option, otherwise check out Boost.Operators) – Daniel Frey Apr 12 '13 at 23:51.
Arbitrary-size Integers - the Z class
The Z class is used for any integer-based calculations.
The Z constructor can be called without
new
, like var x = Z(5);
, so it doesn't intrude too much visually. It accepts numbers, strings, or arrays of digits - the latter two can be accompanied with the base they should be interpreted in as a second argument, like Z('1a2', 16)
, or else they'll be assumed to be base 10. It also accepts another Z and produces a clone of it, though this is not the idiomatic way to clone a Z (instead, use Z#clone(), Z#lift(), or Z#adopt(), as appropriate).All of the basic mathematical operations exist on Z:
- .add(n) - addition
- .sub(n) - subtraction
- .mul(n) - multiplication
- .div(n) - (integer) division
- .mod(n, positive?) - modulus. If the positiveAllowed argument is set to the string
'positive'
, this will only return the positive modulus. (Otherwise,Z(-12).mod(10)
will return -2, same as-12 % 10
in normal JS math.) - .divmod(n, positive?) - both div and mod at the same time (returns an array). The positive argument is the same as in mod().
- .pow(exp) - exponentiation
- .square() - squaring (slightly faster than
x.mul(x)
- automatically used when you dox.pow(2)
) - .powmod(exp, mod) - exponentiation with a modulus (much faster than calling .pow().mod())
Note that all of these operations (all the operations, actually) can take any 'Z-like' as their argument - Z instances, obviously, but also numbers, string, and arrays of digits. Anything that can be passed to the Z constructor can be used directly as an argument to a Z method.
The basic comparison operations are also defined:
- .eq(n) - equality
- .ne(n) - non-equality
- .lt(n) - less than
- .le(n) - less than or equal
- .gt(n) - greater than
- .ge(n) - greater than or equal
Using auto tune pro. There are several ways to create a new Z out of an existing value:
- Z(n, base?) - takes a JS number, string, array, or Z. If you pass a Z, the return value is a clone of the argument.
- Z.of(n) - just calls the constructor. Useful for passing to Array#map, for example, because it ignores any additional arguments. (Passing the constructor to Array#map, like
[1,2,3].map(Z)
, may fail badly as the map() function passes the current index as the second argument, and the constructor will attempt to interpret that as the base argument. Instead, call[1,2,3].map(Z.of)
.) - .clone() - returns a clone of the number.
- .adopt(n) - mutates the number in-place to be a clone of the argument
- Z.lift(n) - if the argument is a Z, just returns it (no cloning). Otherwise, returns a fresh Z constructed from the argument.
Finally, several utility functions exist:
- .sign - An attribute, not a function, containing -1, 0, or 1, if the number is negative, zero, or positive, respectively. This can be directly set, as well.
- .negate() - Negates the number. (Faster than calling
x.mul(-1)
, clearer and more chainable than callingx.sign *= -1;
.) - .isPos() - True if the number is positive (
x.sign
returns 1), false otherwise. - .isNeg() - True if the number is negative, false otherwise.
- .isZero() - True if the number is zero, false otherwise.
- .toNum() - If the number fits in the JS precise integer bounds, returns the value as a JS number. Otherwise returns false.
- .digitsInBase(base?) - Returns an array containing the digits of the number interpreted in the given base, most significant digit first. If no base is given, uses the number's default base (which defaults to 10 unless it was set in the constructor, or manually adjusted by setting
x.base
). - .toString(base?) - Returns the number in string form in the given base. Again, if the base isn't given, uses the number's default base. Unlike digitsInBase(), toString() requires 2 <= base <= 36, so it can reasonably print it.
A Z can also be used directly in expressions with strings or JS numbers - it'll autoconvert itself into the appropriate type. (Possible issue - when concatenated with a string, it appears to trigger .valueOf() first, which means it'll concat 'NaN' rather than a string version of the number when the number is large enough. I might just need to remove the .valueOf() entirely.)
Important note: All of the Z instance methods that return a Z do so by mutating the this argument directly, and returning it. That is, in
var y = x.mul(3);
not only is y set to x*3, but x itself is now triple what it used to. To avoid this, use the static variants of the methods. (This behavior is absolutely required for high performance, where creating new objects in every operation is unacceptably slow.)Using the Z methods statically
Every method defined on a Z instance also exists on the Z class object, taking an additional first argument. For example, instead of
x.mul(y)
, you can call Z.mul(x,y)
. Even .sign
has a static variant in Z.sign(n)
.The static variants work the same as their instance variants, except that they don't mutate any of their arguments. This is usually accomplished by just cloning the first argument, so most of the static variants imply an extra object creation over their instance variant.
The static variants are often most convenient for just constructing a large number directly, like
Z.pow(3, 1000)
(rather than Z(3).pow(1000)
, which I find slightly clumsier to read and write). [ xenial ] [ bionic ] [ disco ] [ eoan ] [ focal ]
