mruby-bigint

mruby-bigint is an mrbgem that provides multi-precision integer (BigInt) support for mruby. It allows you to work with integers that are larger than the standard Integer type can handle.

This extension uses fgmp, which is a public domain implementation of a subset of the GNU gmp library by Mark Henderson markh@wimsey.bc.ca. But it's heavily modified to fit with mruby. You can get the original source code from https://github.com/deischi/fgmp.git. You can read the original README for fgmp in README-fgmp.md.

If you want to create your own Multi-precision Integer GEM, see examples/mrbgems/mruby-YOUR-bigint/TODO-HINT.md.

Features

• Basic arithmetic operations: +, -, *, /, %
• Power operation: **
• Modular exponentiation
• Bitwise operations: &, |, ^, <<, >>
• Comparison: <=>
• Conversion to and from strings: to_s, String#to_i (with base)
• Square root
• Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) (available if MRB_USE_RATIONAL is defined)

Usage

Here are some simple examples of how to use mruby-bigint:

# Creating BigInts
a = BigInt(12345678901234567890)
b = "98765432109876543210".to_i(10) # Specify base 10 for string conversion

# Arithmetic operations
c = a + b
puts c.to_s # Output: 111111111011111111100

d = a * 2
puts d.to_s # Output: 24691357802469135780

# Comparison
puts a <=> b # Output: -1

fgmp Dependency

mruby-bigint depends on fgmp. For more information about fgmp, please see README-fgmp.md.
