=head1 NAME
bigint - Transparent BigInteger support for Perl
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use bigint;
$x = 2 + 4.5,"\n"; # BigInt 6
print 2 ** 512,"\n"; # really is what you think it is
print inf + 42,"\n"; # inf
print NaN * 7,"\n"; # NaN
print hex("0x1234567890123490"),"\n"; # Perl v5.10.0 or later
{
no bigint;
print 2 ** 256,"\n"; # a normal Perl scalar now
}
# Import into current package:
use bigint qw/hex oct/;
print hex("0x1234567890123490"),"\n";
print oct("01234567890123490"),"\n";
=head1 DESCRIPTION
All operators (including basic math operations) except the range operator C<..>
are overloaded. Integer constants are created as proper BigInts.
Floating point constants are truncated to integer. All parts and results of
expressions are also truncated.
Unlike L<integer>, this pragma creates integer constants that are only
limited in their size by the available memory and CPU time.
=head2 use integer vs. use bigint
There is one small difference between C<use integer> and C<use bigint>: the
former will not affect assignments to variables and the return value of
some functions. C<bigint> truncates these results to integer too:
# perl -Minteger -wle 'print 3.2'
3.2
# perl -Minteger -wle 'print 3.2 + 0'
3
# perl -Mbigint -wle 'print 3.2'
3
# perl -Mbigint -wle 'print 3.2 + 0'
3
# perl -Mbigint -wle 'print exp(1) + 0'
2
# perl -Mbigint -wle 'print exp(1)'
2
# perl -Minteger -wle 'print exp(1)'
2.71828182845905
# perl -Minteger -wle 'print exp(1) + 0'
2
In practice this makes seldom a difference as B<parts and results> of
expressions will be truncated anyway, but this can, for instance, affect the
return value of subroutines:
sub three_integer { use integer; return 3.2; }
sub three_bigint { use bigint; return 3.2; }
print three_integer(), " ", three_bigint(),"\n"; # prints "3.2 3"
=head2 Options
bigint recognizes some options that can be passed while loading it via use.
The options can (currently) be either a single letter form, or the long form.
The following options exist:
=over 2
=item a or accuracy
This sets the accuracy for all math operations. The argument must be greater
than or equal to zero. See Math::BigInt's bround() function for details.
perl -Mbigint=a,2 -le 'print 12345+1'
Note that setting precision and accuracy at the same time is not possible.
=item p or precision
This sets the precision for all math operations. The argument can be any
integer. Negative values mean a fixed number of digits after the dot, and
are <B>ignored</B> since all operations happen in integer space.
A positive value rounds to this digit left from the dot. 0 or 1 mean round to
integer and are ignore like negative values.
See Math::BigInt's bfround() function for details.
perl -Mbignum=p,5 -le 'print 123456789+123'
Note that setting precision and accuracy at the same time is not possible.
=item t or trace
This enables a trace mode and is primarily for debugging bigint or
Math::BigInt.
=item hex
Override the built-in hex() method with a version that can handle big
integers. This overrides it by exporting it to the current package. Under
Perl v5.10.0 and higher, this is not so necessary, as hex() is lexically
overridden in the current scope whenever the bigint pragma is active.
=item oct
Override the built-in oct() method with a version that can handle big
integers. This overrides it by exporting it to the current package. Under
Perl v5.10.0 and higher, this is not so necessary, as oct() is lexically
overridden in the current scope whenever the bigint pragma is active.
=item l, lib, try or only
Load a different math lib, see L<Math Library>.
perl -Mbigint=lib,GMP -e 'print 2 ** 512'
perl -Mbigint=try,GMP -e 'print 2 ** 512'
perl -Mbigint=only,GMP -e 'print 2 ** 512'
Currently there is no way to specify more than one library on the command
line. This means the following does not work:
perl -Mbignum=l,GMP,Pari -e 'print 2 ** 512'
This will be hopefully fixed soon ;)
=item v or version
This prints out the name and version of all modules used and then exits.
perl -Mbigint=v
=back
=head2 Math Library
Math with the numbers is done (by default) by a module called
Math::BigInt::Calc. This is equivalent to saying:
use bigint lib => 'Calc';
You can change this by using:
use bignum lib => 'GMP';
The following would first try to find Math::BigInt::Foo, then
Math::BigInt::Bar, and when this also fails, revert to Math::BigInt::Calc:
use bigint lib => 'Foo,Math::BigInt::Bar';
Using C<lib> warns if none of the specified libraries can be found and
L<Math::BigInt> did fall back to one of the default libraries.
To suppress this warning, use C<try> instead:
use bignum try => 'GMP';
If you want the code to die instead of falling back, use C<only> instead:
use bignum only => 'GMP';
Please see respective module documentation for further details.
=head2 Internal Format
The numbers are stored as objects, and their internals might change at anytime,
especially between math operations. The objects also might belong to different
classes, like Math::BigInt, or Math::BigInt::Lite. Mixing them together, even
with normal scalars is not extraordinary, but normal and expected.
You should not depend on the internal format, all accesses must go through
accessor methods. E.g. looking at $x->{sign} is not a good idea since there
is no guaranty that the object in question has such a hash key, nor is a hash
underneath at all.
=head2 Sign
The sign is either '+', '-', 'NaN', '+inf' or '-inf'.
You can access it with the sign() method.
A sign of 'NaN' is used to represent the result when input arguments are not
numbers or as a result of 0/0. '+inf' and '-inf' represent plus respectively
minus infinity. You will get '+inf' when dividing a positive number by 0, and
'-inf' when dividing any negative number by 0.
=head2 Method calls
Since all numbers are now objects, you can use all functions that are part of
the BigInt API. You can only use the bxxx() notation, and not the fxxx()
notation, though.
But a warning is in order. When using the following to make a copy of a number,
only a shallow copy will be made.
$x = 9; $y = $x;
$x = $y = 7;
Using the copy or the original with overloaded math is okay, e.g. the
following work:
$x = 9; $y = $x;
print $x + 1, " ", $y,"\n"; # prints 10 9
but calling any method that modifies the number directly will result in
B<both> the original and the copy being destroyed:
$x = 9; $y = $x;
print $x->badd(1), " ", $y,"\n"; # prints 10 10
$x = 9; $y = $x;
print $x->binc(1), " ", $y,"\n"; # prints 10 10
$x = 9; $y = $x;
print $x->bmul(2), " ", $y,"\n"; # prints 18 18
Using methods that do not modify, but test that the contents works:
$x = 9; $y = $x;
$z = 9 if $x->is_zero(); # works fine
See the documentation about the copy constructor and C<=> in overload, as
well as the documentation in BigInt for further details.
=head2 Methods
=over 2
=item inf()
A shortcut to return Math::BigInt->binf(). Useful because Perl does not always
handle bareword C<inf> properly.
=item NaN()
A shortcut to return Math::BigInt->bnan(). Useful because Perl does not always
handle bareword C<NaN> properly.
=item e
# perl -Mbigint=e -wle 'print e'
Returns Euler's number C<e>, aka exp(1). Note that under bigint, this is
truncated to an integer, and hence simple '2'.
=item PI
# perl -Mbigint=PI -wle 'print PI'
Returns PI. Note that under bigint, this is truncated to an integer, and hence
simple '3'.
=item bexp()
bexp($power,$accuracy);
Returns Euler's number C<e> raised to the appropriate power, to
the wanted accuracy.
Note that under bigint, the result is truncated to an integer.
Example:
# perl -Mbigint=bexp -wle 'print bexp(1,80)'
=item bpi()
bpi($accuracy);
Returns PI to the wanted accuracy. Note that under bigint, this is truncated
to an integer, and hence simple '3'.
Example:
# perl -Mbigint=bpi -wle 'print bpi(80)'
=item upgrade()
Return the class that numbers are upgraded to, is in fact returning
C<$Math::BigInt::upgrade>.
=item in_effect()
use bigint;
print "in effect\n" if bigint::in_effect; # true
{
no bigint;
print "in effect\n" if bigint::in_effect; # false
}
Returns true or false if C<bigint> is in effect in the current scope.
This method only works on Perl v5.9.4 or later.
=back
=head1 CAVEATS
=over 2
=item Operator vs literal overloading
C<bigint> works by overloading handling of integer and floating point
literals, converting them to L<Math::BigInt> objects.
This means that arithmetic involving only string values or string
literals will be performed using Perl's built-in operators.
For example:
use bignum;
my $x = "900000000000000009";
my $y = "900000000000000007";
print $x - $y;
will output C<0> on default 32-bit builds, since C<bigint> never sees
the string literals. To ensure the expression is all treated as
C<Math::BigInt> objects, use a literal number in the expression:
print +(0+$x) - $y;
=item ranges
Perl does not allow overloading of ranges, so you can neither safely use
ranges with bigint endpoints, nor is the iterator variable a bigint.
use 5.010;
for my $i (12..13) {
for my $j (20..21) {
say $i ** $j; # produces a floating-point number,
# not a big integer
}
}
=item in_effect()
This method only works on Perl v5.9.4 or later.
=item hex()/oct()
C<bigint> overrides these routines with versions that can also handle
big integer values. Under Perl prior to version v5.9.4, however, this
will not happen unless you specifically ask for it with the two
import tags "hex" and "oct" - and then it will be global and cannot be
disabled inside a scope with "no bigint":
use bigint qw/hex oct/;
print hex("0x1234567890123456");
{
no bigint;
print hex("0x1234567890123456");
}
The second call to hex() will warn about a non-portable constant.
Compare this to:
use bigint;
# will warn only under Perl older than v5.9.4
print hex("0x1234567890123456");
=back
=head1 MODULES USED
C<bigint> is just a thin wrapper around various modules of the Math::BigInt
family. Think of it as the head of the family, who runs the shop, and orders
the others to do the work.
The following modules are currently used by bigint:
Math::BigInt::Lite (for speed, and only if it is loadable)
Math::BigInt
=head1 EXAMPLES
Some cool command line examples to impress the Python crowd ;) You might want
to compare them to the results under -Mbignum or -Mbigrat:
perl -Mbigint -le 'print sqrt(33)'
perl -Mbigint -le 'print 2*255'
perl -Mbigint -le 'print 4.5+2*255'
perl -Mbigint -le 'print 3/7 + 5/7 + 8/3'
perl -Mbigint -le 'print 123->is_odd()'
perl -Mbigint -le 'print log(2)'
perl -Mbigint -le 'print 2 ** 0.5'
perl -Mbigint=a,65 -le 'print 2 ** 0.2'
perl -Mbignum=a,65,l,GMP -le 'print 7 ** 7777'
