.\" way too many mistakes in technical documents.

.SH "NAME"
Math::BigInt::Calc \- Pure Perl module to support Math::BigInt
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
This library provides support for big integer calculations. It is not
intended to be used by other modules. Other modules which support the same
\&\s-1API \s0(see below) can also be used to support Math::BigInt, like
Math::BigInt::GMP and Math::BigInt::Pari.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
In this library, the numbers are represented in base B = 10**N, where N is
the largest possible value that does not cause overflow in the intermediate
computations. The base B elements are stored in an array, with the least
significant element stored in array element zero. There are no leading zero
elements, except a single zero element when the number is zero.
.PP
For instance, if B = 10000, the number 1234567890 is represented internally
as [3456, 7890, 12].
.SH "THE Math::BigInt API"
.IX Header "THE Math::BigInt API"
In order to allow for multiple big integer libraries, Math::BigInt was
rewritten to use a plug-in library for core math routines. Any module which
conforms to the \s-1API\s0 can be used by Math::BigInt by using this in your program:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& use Math::BigInt lib => \*(Aqlibname\*(Aq;
.Ve
.PP
\&'libname' is either the long name, like 'Math::BigInt::Pari', or only the short
version, like 'Pari'.
.SS "General Notes"
.IX Subsection "General Notes"
A library only needs to deal with unsigned big integers. Testing of input
parameter validity is done by the caller, so there is no need to worry about
underflow (e.g., in \f(CW\*(C`_sub()\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`_dec()\*(C'\fR) nor about division by zero (e.g.,
in \f(CW\*(C`_div()\*(C'\fR) or similar cases.
.PP
For some methods, the first parameter can be modified. That includes the
possibility that you return a reference to a completely different object
instead. Although keeping the reference and just changing its contents is
preferred over creating and returning a different reference.
.PP
Return values are always objects, strings, Perl scalars, or true/false for
comparison routines.
.SS "\s-1API\s0 version 1"
.IX Subsection "API version 1"
The following methods must be defined in order to support the use by
Math::BigInt v1.70 or later.
.PP
\fI\s-1API\s0 version\fR
.IX Subsection "API version"
.IP "\fI\fIapi_version()\fI\fR" 4
.IX Item "api_version()"

Math::BigInt v1.83.
.PP

.IX Subsection "Constructors"
.IP "\fI_new(\s-1STR\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_new(STR)"

.PP
\fIMathematical functions\fR
.IX Subsection "Mathematical functions"
.PP
Each of these methods may modify the first input argument, except \fI\fI_bgcd()\fI\fR,
which shall not modify any input argument, and \fI\fI_sub()\fI\fR which may modify the
second input argument.
.IP "\fI_add(\s-1OBJ1, OBJ2\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_add(OBJ1, OBJ2)"
Returns the result of adding \s-1OBJ2\s0 to \s-1OBJ1.\s0
.IP "\fI_mul(\s-1OBJ1, OBJ2\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_mul(OBJ1, OBJ2)"

.PD 0
.IP "\fI_sub(\s-1OBJ1, OBJ2\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_sub(OBJ1, OBJ2)"
.PD
Returns the result of subtracting \s-1OBJ2\s0 by \s-1OBJ1.\s0 If \f(CW\*(C`flag\*(C'\fR is false or omitted,
\&\s-1OBJ1\s0 might be modified. If \f(CW\*(C`flag\*(C'\fR is true, \s-1OBJ2\s0 might be modified.
.IP "\fI_dec(\s-1OBJ\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_dec(OBJ)"
Decrement \s-1OBJ\s0 by one.
.IP "\fI_inc(\s-1OBJ\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_inc(OBJ)"
Increment \s-1OBJ\s0 by one.
.IP "\fI_mod(\s-1OBJ1, OBJ2\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_mod(OBJ1, OBJ2)"
Return \s-1OBJ1\s0 modulo \s-1OBJ2,\s0 i.e., the remainder after dividing \s-1OBJ1\s0 by \s-1OBJ2.\s0
.IP "\fI_sqrt(\s-1OBJ\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_sqrt(OBJ)"
Return the square root of the object, truncated to integer.
.IP "\fI_root(\s-1OBJ, N\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_root(OBJ, N)"
Return Nth root of the object, truncated to int. N is >= 3.
.IP "\fI_fac(\s-1OBJ\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_fac(OBJ)"
Return factorial of object (1*2*3*4*...).
.IP "\fI_pow(\s-1OBJ1, OBJ2\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_pow(OBJ1, OBJ2)"
Return \s-1OBJ1\s0 to the power of \s-1OBJ2.\s0 By convention, 0**0 = 1.
.IP "\fI_modinv(\s-1OBJ1, OBJ2\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_modinv(OBJ1, OBJ2)"
Return modular multiplicative inverse, i.e., return \s-1OBJ3\s0 so that
.Sp
.Vb 1
\& (OBJ3 * OBJ1) % OBJ2 = 1 % OBJ2
.Ve
.Sp
The result is returned as two arguments. If the modular multiplicative
inverse does not exist, both arguments are undefined. Otherwise, the
arguments are a number (object) and its sign (\*(L"+\*(R" or \*(L"\-\*(R").
.Sp
The output value, with its sign, must either be a positive value in the
range 1,2,...,OBJ2\-1 or the same value subtracted \s-1OBJ2.\s0 For instance, if the
input arguments are objects representing the numbers 7 and 5, the method
must either return an object representing the number 3 and a \*(L"+\*(R" sign, since
(3*7) % 5 = 1 % 5, or an object representing the number 2 and \*(L"\-\*(R" sign,
since (\-2*7) % 5 = 1 % 5.
.IP "\fI_modpow(\s-1OBJ1, OBJ2, OBJ3\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_modpow(OBJ1, OBJ2, OBJ3)"
Return modular exponentiation, (\s-1OBJ1\s0 ** \s-1OBJ2\s0) % \s-1OBJ3.\s0
.IP "\fI_rsft(\s-1OBJ, N, B\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_rsft(OBJ, N, B)"
Shift object N digits right in base B and return the resulting object. This is
equivalent to performing integer division by B**N and discarding the remainder,
except that it might be much faster, depending on how the number is represented
internally.
.Sp
For instance, if the object \f(CW$obj\fR represents the hexadecimal number 0xabcde,
then \f(CW\*(C`_rsft($obj, 2, 16)\*(C'\fR returns an object representing the number 0xabc. The
\&\*(L"remainer\*(R", 0xde, is discarded and not returned.
.IP "\fI_lsft(\s-1OBJ, N, B\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_lsft(OBJ, N, B)"
Shift the object N digits left in base B. This is equivalent to multiplying by
B**N, except that it might be much faster, depending on how the number is
represented internally.
.IP "\fI_log_int(\s-1OBJ, B\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_log_int(OBJ, B)"
Return integer log of \s-1OBJ\s0 to base \s-1BASE.\s0 This method has two output arguments,
the \s-1OBJECT\s0 and a \s-1STATUS.\s0 The \s-1STATUS\s0 is Perl scalar; it is 1 if \s-1OBJ\s0 is the exact
result, 0 if the result was truncted to give \s-1OBJ,\s0 and undef if it is unknown
whether \s-1OBJ\s0 is the exact result.
.IP "\fI_gcd(\s-1OBJ1, OBJ2\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_gcd(OBJ1, OBJ2)"
Return the greatest common divisor of \s-1OBJ1\s0 and \s-1OBJ2.\s0

.IP "\fI_and(\s-1OBJ1, OBJ2\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_and(OBJ1, OBJ2)"
Return bitwise and. If necessary, the smallest number is padded with leading
zeros.
.IP "\fI_or(\s-1OBJ1, OBJ2\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_or(OBJ1, OBJ2)"
Return bitwise or. If necessary, the smallest number is padded with leading
zeros.
.IP "\fI_xor(\s-1OBJ1, OBJ2\s0)\fR" 4

Return bitwise exclusive or. If necessary, the smallest number is padded
with leading zeros.
.PP
\fIBoolean operators\fR
.IX Subsection "Boolean operators"

Returns a true value if \s-1OBJ\s0 is ten, and false value otherwise.
.IP "\fI_is_even(\s-1OBJ\s0)\fR" 4

.IP "\fI_is_odd(\s-1OBJ\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_is_odd(OBJ)"

.IP "\fI_acmp(\s-1OBJ1, OBJ2\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_acmp(OBJ1, OBJ2)"
Compare \s-1OBJ1\s0 and \s-1OBJ2\s0 and return \-1, 0, or 1, if \s-1OBJ1\s0 is less than, equal
to, or larger than \s-1OBJ2,\s0 respectively.
.PP
\fIString conversion\fR
.IX Subsection "String conversion"
.IP "\fI_str(\s-1OBJ\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_str(OBJ)"
Return a string representing the object. The returned string should have no
leading zeros, i.e., it should match \f(CW\*(C`^(0|[1\-9]\ed*)$\*(C'\fR.
.IP "\fI_as_bin(\s-1OBJ\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_as_bin(OBJ)"

.IP "\fI_as_oct(\s-1OBJ\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_as_oct(OBJ)"
Return the octal string representation of the number. The string must have
a '0x' prefix.
.Sp
Note: This method was required from Math::BigInt version 1.78, but the required
\&\s-1API\s0 version number was not incremented, so there are older libraries that
support \s-1API\s0 version 1, but do not support \f(CW\*(C`_as_oct()\*(C'\fR.

Return the number of trailing decimal zeros. The output is a Perl scalar.
.IP "\fI_digit(\s-1OBJ, N\s0)\fR" 4
.IX Item "_digit(OBJ, N)"
Return the Nth digit as a Perl scalar. N is a Perl scalar, where zero refers to
the rightmost (least significant) digit, and negative values count from the
left (most significant digit). If \f(CW$obj\fR represents the number 123, then
\&\fI_digit($obj, 0)\fR is 3 and \fI_digit(123, \-1)\fR is 1.
.IP "\fI_check(\s-1OBJ\s0)\fR" 4

If you want to port your own favourite c\-lib for big numbers to the
Math::BigInt interface, you can take any of the already existing modules as
a rough guideline. You should really wrap up the latest BigInt and BigFloat
testsuites with your module, and replace in them any of the following:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& use Math::BigInt;
.Ve
.PP
by this:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& use Math::BigInt lib => \*(Aqyourlib\*(Aq;

This way you ensure that your library really works 100% within Math::BigInt.
