biginteger

Will System.Numerics.BigInteger be immutable? Should it be?

The .net framework 4 is apparently going to include a BigInteger class. However, I can't seem to find out whether or not it will be immutable. I also can't seem to decide whether or not that would be a good thing. Immutability has a ton of benefits, especially for something as "value-like" as a big-int. On the other hand, the basic oper...

Handling "Big" Integers in C#

How do I handle big integers in C#? I have a function that will give me the product of divisors: private static int GetDivisorProduct(int N, int product) { for (int i = 1; i < N; i++) { if (N % i == 0) { Console.WriteLine(i.ToString()); product *= i; ...

Why is BIGInteger in JAVA not responding for higher powers?

Hi, When I try to find the value of BigInteger data type for 2 to power 23,000, I am not able to see the value. Upto 2 to power 22000, I could display the biginteger value . I am on XP. Any solution/suggestion? Sastry ...

Really Big Numbers and Objective-C

I've been toying around with some Project Euler problems and naturally am running into a lot that require the handling of bigger than long long type numbers. I am committed to using Cocoa and Objective-C (I need to stay sharp for work) but can't find an elegant way (read: library) to handle these really big numbers. I'd love to use GMP...

Bigint (bigbit) library.

I'm looking for a c++ class/library that provides 1024 bit and bigger integers and bit operations like: - bit shifting, - bitwise OR/AND, - position first zero bit speed is crucial, so it would have to be implemented with some SIMD assembly. ...

OR-multiplication on big integers.

Multiplication of two n-bit numbers A and B can be understood as a sum of shifts: (A << i1) + (A << i2) + ... where i1, i2, ... are numbers of bits that are set to 1 in B. Now lets replace PLUS with OR to get new operation I actually need: (A << i1) | (A << i2) | ... This operation is quite similar to regular multiplication for ...

Working with Java's BigInteger probable primes

I want to print all the prime numbers between two numbers. This is my code: package sphere; import java.math.BigInteger; import java.io.*; class PrimeTest2 { public static void main(String args[]) throws java.lang.Exception { BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); String s = r.read...

Java BigInteger, cut off last digit

Fairly easy, if the BigInteger number is 543 I want it to cut off the last digit so that it is 54. Two easy ways to do this can be : Use strings, get substring and create new biginteger with the new value. Use BigIntegers divide method with number 10. ( 543 / 10 = 54.3 => 54 ) The thing is I will be performing this a lot of times wi...

Arbitrary-precision arithmetic Explanation

I'm trying to learn C and have come across the inability to work with REALLY big numbers (i.e., 100 digits, 1000 digits, etc.). I am aware that there exist libraries to do this, but I want to attempt to implement it myself. I just want to know if anyone has or can provide a very detailed, dumbed down explanation of arbitrary-precision a...

What's better multiplication by 2 or adding the number to itself ? BIGnums

I need some help deciding what is better performance wise. I'm working with bigints (more then 5 million digits) and most of the computation (if not all) is in the part of doubling the current bigint. So i wanted to know is it better to multiply every cell (part of the bigint) by 2 then mod it and you know the rest. Or is it better just...

modPow slow in Visual J#?

Needing a quick way to build an ActiveX control out of some Java code, I tried out Visual J# Express. Ran into a limitation, though, when I found that BigInteger.modPow is really slow, and since my Java code verifies a number of DSA signatures, operations that normal would take a few milliseconds were taking seconds. Was wondering if a...

BigInteger.valueOf() for very big numbers?

What would be the best way to convert a 50-digit String to a BigInteger in Java? It doesn't have a valueOf(String) method, and I can't convert to Long because it's too small. ...

Delphi: using BigInts from a database

I´m using Delphi 7 with devart dbExpress to connect to SQLServer. The problem is that when I add a bigInt field to a ClientQuery it comes as TFMTBCDField. And the TFMTBCDField don´t have a method to get the 64 bit value. I can use the Field.AsVariant or the StrToInt64(Field.AsString) to pick this 64 bits value. Is there a better way t...
