Module Big_int

The type of big integers.

The big integer 0.

The big integer 1.

Unary negation.

Absolute value.

Addition.

Successor (add 1).

Addition of a small integer to a big integer.

Subtraction.

Predecessor (subtract 1).

Multiplication of two big integers.

Multiplication of a big integer by a small integer

Return the square of the given big integer

sqrt_big_int a returns the integer square root of a, that is, the largest big integer r such that r * r <= a. Raise Invalid_argument if a is negative.

Euclidean division of two big integers. The first part of the result is the quotient, the second part is the remainder. Writing (q,r) = quomod_big_int a b, we have a = q * b + r and 0 <= r < |b|. Raise Division_by_zero if the divisor is zero.

Euclidean quotient of two big integers. This is the first result q of quomod_big_int (see above).

Euclidean modulus of two big integers. This is the second result r of quomod_big_int (see above).

Greatest common divisor of two big integers.

Exponentiation functions. Return the big integer representing the first argument a raised to the power b (the second argument). Depending on the function, a and b can be either small integers or big integers. Raise Invalid_argument if b is negative.

Return 0 if the given big integer is zero, 1 if it is positive, and -1 if it is negative.

compare_big_int a b returns 0 if a and b are equal, 1 if a is greater than b, and -1 if a is smaller than b.

Usual boolean comparisons between two big integers.

Return the greater of its two arguments.

Return the smaller of its two arguments.

Return the number of machine words used to store the given big integer.

Return the number of significant bits in the absolute value of the given big integer. num_bits_big_int a returns 0 if a is 0; otherwise it returns a positive integer n such that 2^(n-1) <= |a| < 2^n.

• since 4.03.0

Return the string representation of the given big integer, in decimal (base 10).

Convert a string to a big integer, in decimal. The string consists of an optional - or + sign, followed by one or several decimal digits.

Convert a string to a big integer, in decimal. The string consists of an optional - or + sign, followed by one or several decimal digits. Other the function returns None.

• since 4.05

Convert a small integer to a big integer.

Test whether the given big integer is small enough to be representable as a small integer (type int) without loss of precision. On a 32-bit platform, is_int_big_int a returns true if and only if a is between 2³⁰ and 2³⁰-1. On a 64-bit platform, is_int_big_int a returns true if and only if a is between -2⁶² and 2⁶²-1.

Convert a big integer to a small integer (type int). Raises Failure "int_of_big_int" if the big integer is not representable as a small integer.

Convert a big integer to a small integer (type int). Return None if the big integer is not representable as a small integer.

• since 4.05

Convert a 32-bit integer to a big integer.

Convert a native integer to a big integer.

Convert a 64-bit integer to a big integer.

Convert a big integer to a 32-bit integer. Raises Failure if the big integer is outside the range [-2³¹, 2³¹-1].

Convert a big integer to a 32-bit integer. Return None if the big integer is outside the range [-2³¹, 2³¹-1].

• since 4.05

Convert a big integer to a native integer. Raises Failure if the big integer is outside the range [Nativeint.min_int, Nativeint.max_int].

Convert a big integer to a native integer. Return None if the big integer is outside the range [Nativeint.min_int, Nativeint.max_int];

• since 4.05

Convert a big integer to a 64-bit integer. Raises Failure if the big integer is outside the range [-2⁶³, 2⁶³-1].

Convert a big integer to a 64-bit integer. Return None if the big integer is outside the range [-2⁶³, 2⁶³-1].

• since 4.05

Returns a floating-point number approximating the given big integer.

Bitwise logical 'and'. The arguments must be positive or zero.

Bitwise logical 'or'. The arguments must be positive or zero.

Bitwise logical 'exclusive or'. The arguments must be positive or zero.

shift_left_big_int b n returns b shifted left by n bits. Equivalent to multiplication by 2^n.

shift_right_big_int b n returns b shifted right by n bits. Equivalent to division by 2^n with the result being rounded towards minus infinity.

shift_right_towards_zero_big_int b n returns b shifted right by n bits. The shift is performed on the absolute value of b, and the result has the same sign as b. Equivalent to division by 2^n with the result being rounded towards zero.

extract_big_int bi ofs n returns a nonnegative number corresponding to bits ofs to ofs + n - 1 of the binary representation of bi. If bi is negative, a two's complement representation is used.
