# Inside overload, the first arg is always an object. If the original code had
# it reversed (like $x = 2 * $y), then the third parameter is true.
# In some cases (like add, $x = $x + 2 is the same as $x = 2 + $x) this makes
# no difference, but in some cases it does.

# For overloaded ops with only one argument we simple use $_[0]->copy() to
# preserve the argument.

# Thus inheritance of overload operators becomes possible and transparent for
# our subclasses without the need to repeat the entire overload section there.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Math::BigInt;

  # or make it faster with huge numbers: install (optional)
  # Math::BigInt::GMP and always use (it falls back to
  # pure Perl if the GMP library is not installed):
  # (See also the L<MATH LIBRARY> section!)

  # to warn if Math::BigInt::GMP cannot be found, use
  use Math::BigInt lib => 'GMP';

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Math::BigInt provides support for arbitrary precision integers. Overloading is
also provided for Perl operators.

=head2 Input

Input values to these routines may be any scalar number or string that looks
like a number and represents an integer. Anything that is accepted by Perl as a
literal numeric constant should be accepted by this module, except that finite
non-integers return NaN.

=over

=item *

Leading and trailing whitespace is ignored.

=item *

Leading zeros are ignored, except for floating point numbers with a binary
exponent, in which case the number is interpreted as an octal floating point
number. For example, "01.4p+0" gives 1.5, "00.4p+0" gives 0.5, but "0.4p+0"
gives a NaN. And while "0377" gives 255, "0377p0" gives 255.

=item *

If the string has a "0x" or "0X" prefix, it is interpreted as a hexadecimal
number.

=item *

If the string has a "0o" or "0O" prefix, it is interpreted as an octal number. A
floating point literal with a "0" prefix is also interpreted as an octal number.

=item *

If the string has a "0b" or "0B" prefix, it is interpreted as a binary number.

=item *

Underline characters are allowed in the same way as they are allowed in literal
numerical constants.

=item *

If the string can not be interpreted, or does not represent a finite integer,
NaN is returned.

=item *

For hexadecimal, octal, and binary floating point numbers, the exponent must be
separated from the significand (mantissa) by the letter "p" or "P", not "e" or
"E" as with decimal numbers.

Input given as scalar numbers might lose precision. Quote your input to ensure
that no digits are lost:

    $x = Math::BigInt->new( 56789012345678901234 );   # bad
    $x = Math::BigInt->new('56789012345678901234');   # good

Currently, C<Math::BigInt->new()> (no input argument) and
C<Math::BigInt->new("")> return 0. This might change in the future, so always
use the following explicit forms to get a zero:

    $zero = Math::BigInt->bzero();

=head2 Output

Output values are usually Math::BigInt objects.

Boolean operators C<is_zero()>, C<is_one()>, C<is_inf()>, etc. return true or
false.

Comparison operators C<bcmp()> and C<bacmp()>) return -1, 0, 1, or
undef.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 Configuration methods

Each of the methods below (except config(), accuracy() and precision()) accepts
three additional parameters. These arguments C<$A>, C<$P> and C<$R> are
C<accuracy>, C<precision> and C<round_mode>. Please see the section about
L</ACCURACY and PRECISION> for more information.

Setting a class variable effects all object instance that are created
afterwards.

=over

=item accuracy()

    Math::BigInt->accuracy(5);      # set class accuracy
    $x->accuracy(5);                # set instance accuracy

    $A = Math::BigInt->accuracy();  # get class accuracy
    $A = $x->accuracy();            # get instance accuracy

Set or get the accuracy, i.e., the number of significant digits. The accuracy
must be an integer. If the accuracy is set to C<undef>, no rounding is done.

Alternatively, one can round the results explicitly using one of L</round()>,
L</bround()> or L</bfround()> or by passing the desired accuracy to the method
as an additional parameter:

    my $x = Math::BigInt->new(30000);
    my $y = Math::BigInt->new(7);
    print scalar $x->copy()->bdiv($y, 2);               # prints 4300
    print scalar $x->copy()->bdiv($y)->bround(2);       # prints 4300

Please see the section about L</ACCURACY and PRECISION> for further details.

    $y = Math::BigInt->new(1234567);    # $y is not rounded
    Math::BigInt->accuracy(4);          # set class accuracy to 4
    $x = Math::BigInt->new(1234567);    # $x is rounded automatically
    print "$x $y";                      # prints "1235000 1234567"

    print $x->accuracy();       # prints "4"
    print $y->accuracy();       # also prints "4", since
                                #   class accuracy is 4

    Math::BigInt->accuracy(5);  # set class accuracy to 5
    print $x->accuracy();       # prints "4", since instance
                                #   accuracy is 4
    print $y->accuracy();       # prints "5", since no instance
                                #   accuracy, and class accuracy is 5

Note: Each class has it's own globals separated from Math::BigInt, but it is
possible to subclass Math::BigInt and make the globals of the subclass aliases
to the ones from Math::BigInt.

=item precision()

    Math::BigInt->precision(-2);     # set class precision
    $x->precision(-2);               # set instance precision

    $P = Math::BigInt->precision();  # get class precision
    $P = $x->precision();            # get instance precision

Set or get the precision, i.e., the place to round relative to the decimal
point. The precision must be a integer. Setting the precision to $P means that
each number is rounded up or down, depending on the rounding mode, to the
nearest multiple of 10**$P. If the precision is set to C<undef>, no rounding is
done.

You might want to use L</accuracy()> instead. With L</accuracy()> you set the
number of digits each result should have, with L</precision()> you set the
place where to round.

Please see the section about L</ACCURACY and PRECISION> for further details.

    $y = Math::BigInt->new(1234567);    # $y is not rounded
    Math::BigInt->precision(4);         # set class precision to 4
    $x = Math::BigInt->new(1234567);    # $x is rounded automatically
    print $x;                           # prints "1230000"

Note: Each class has its own globals separated from Math::BigInt, but it is
possible to subclass Math::BigInt and make the globals of the subclass aliases
to the ones from Math::BigInt.

=item div_scale()

Set/get the fallback accuracy. This is the accuracy used when neither accuracy
nor precision is set explicitly. It is used when a computation might otherwise
attempt to return an infinite number of digits.

=item round_mode()

Set/get the rounding mode.

=item upgrade()

Set/get the class for upgrading. When a computation might result in a
non-integer, the operands are upgraded to this class. This is used for instance
by L<bignum>. The default is C<undef>, i.e., no upgrading.

    # with no upgrading
    $x = Math::BigInt->new(12);
    $y = Math::BigInt->new(5);
    print $x / $y, "\n";                # 2 as a Math::BigInt

    # with upgrading to Math::BigFloat
    Math::BigInt -> upgrade("Math::BigFloat");
    print $x / $y, "\n";                # 2.4 as a Math::BigFloat

    # with upgrading to Math::BigRat (after loading Math::BigRat)
    Math::BigInt -> upgrade("Math::BigRat");
    print $x / $y, "\n";                # 12/5 as a Math::BigRat

=item downgrade()

Set/get the class for downgrading. The default is C<undef>, i.e., no
downgrading. Downgrading is not done by Math::BigInt.

=item modify()

    $x->modify('bpowd');

This method returns 0 if the object can be modified with the given operation,
or 1 if not.

This is used for instance by L<Math::BigInt::Constant>.

=head2 Constructor methods

=over

=item new()

    $x = Math::BigInt->new($str,$A,$P,$R);

Creates a new Math::BigInt object from a scalar or another Math::BigInt object.
The input is accepted as decimal, hexadecimal (with leading '0x'), octal (with
leading ('0o') or binary (with leading '0b').

See L</Input> for more info on accepted input formats.

=item from_dec()

    $x = Math::BigInt->from_dec("314159");    # input is decimal

Interpret input as a decimal. It is equivalent to new(), but does not accept
anything but strings representing finite, decimal numbers.

=item from_hex()

    $x = Math::BigInt->from_hex("0xcafe");    # input is hexadecimal

Interpret input as a hexadecimal string. A "0x" or "x" prefix is optional. A
single underscore character may be placed right after the prefix, if present,
or between any two digits. If the input is invalid, a NaN is returned.

=item from_oct()

    $x = Math::BigInt->from_oct("0775");      # input is octal

Interpret the input as an octal string and return the corresponding value. A
"0" (zero) prefix is optional. A single underscore character may be placed
right after the prefix, if present, or between any two digits. If the input is
invalid, a NaN is returned.

=item from_bin()

    $x = Math::BigInt->from_bin("0b10011");   # input is binary

Interpret the input as a binary string. A "0b" or "b" prefix is optional. A
single underscore character may be placed right after the prefix, if present,
or between any two digits. If the input is invalid, a NaN is returned.

=item from_bytes()

    $x = Math::BigInt->from_bytes("\xf3\x6b");  # $x = 62315

Interpret the input as a byte string, assuming big endian byte order. The
output is always a non-negative, finite integer.

In some special cases, from_bytes() matches the conversion done by unpack():

    $b = "\x4e";                             # one char byte string
    $x = Math::BigInt->from_bytes($b);       # = 78
    $y = unpack "C", $b;                     # ditto, but scalar

    $b = "\xf3\x6b";                         # two char byte string
    $x = Math::BigInt->from_bytes($b);       # = 62315
    $y = unpack "S>", $b;                    # ditto, but scalar

    $b = "\x2d\xe0\x49\xad";                 # four char byte string
    $x = Math::BigInt->from_bytes($b);       # = 769673645
    $y = unpack "L>", $b;                    # ditto, but scalar

    $b = "\x2d\xe0\x49\xad\x2d\xe0\x49\xad"; # eight char byte string
    $x = Math::BigInt->from_bytes($b);       # = 3305723134637787565
    $y = unpack "Q>", $b;                    # ditto, but scalar

=item from_base()

Given a string, a base, and an optional collation sequence, interpret the
string as a number in the given base. The collation sequence describes the
value of each character in the string.

If a collation sequence is not given, a default collation sequence is used. If
the base is less than or equal to 36, the collation sequence is the string
consisting of the 36 characters "0" to "9" and "A" to "Z". In this case, the
letter case in the input is ignored. If the base is greater than 36, and
smaller than or equal to 62, the collation sequence is the string consisting of
the 62 characters "0" to "9", "A" to "Z", and "a" to "z". A base larger than 62
requires the collation sequence to be specified explicitly.

These examples show standard binary, octal, and hexadecimal conversion. All
cases return 250.

    $x = Math::BigInt->from_base("11111010", 2);
    $x = Math::BigInt->from_base("372", 8);
    $x = Math::BigInt->from_base("fa", 16);

When the base is less than or equal to 36, and no collation sequence is given,
the letter case is ignored, so both of these also return 250:

    $x = Math::BigInt->from_base("6Y", 16);
    $x = Math::BigInt->from_base("6y", 16);

When the base greater than 36, and no collation sequence is given, the default
collation sequence contains both uppercase and lowercase letters, so
the letter case in the input is not ignored:

    $x = Math::BigInt->from_base("6S", 37);         # $x is 250
    $x = Math::BigInt->from_base("6s", 37);         # $x is 276
    $x = Math::BigInt->from_base("121", 3);         # $x is 16
    $x = Math::BigInt->from_base("XYZ", 36);        # $x is 44027
    $x = Math::BigInt->from_base("Why", 42);        # $x is 58314

The collation sequence can be any set of unique characters. These two cases
are equivalent

    $x = Math::BigInt->from_base("100", 2, "01");   # $x is 4
    $x = Math::BigInt->from_base("|--", 2, "-|");   # $x is 4

=item from_base_num()

Returns a new Math::BigInt object given an array of values and a base. This
method is equivalent to C<from_base()>, but works on numbers in an array rather
than characters in a string. Unlike C<from_base()>, all input values may be
arbitrarily large.

    $x = Math::BigInt->from_base_num([1, 1, 0, 1], 2)     # $x is 13
    $x = Math::BigInt->from_base_num([3, 125, 39], 128)   # $x is 65191

=item bzero()

    $x = Math::BigInt->bzero();
    $x->bzero();

Returns a new Math::BigInt object representing zero. If used as an instance
method, assigns the value to the invocand.

=item bone()

    $x = Math::BigInt->bone();          # +1
    $x = Math::BigInt->bone("+");       # +1
    $x = Math::BigInt->bone("-");       # -1
    $x->bone();                         # +1
    $x->bone("+");                      # +1
    $x->bone('-');                      # -1

Creates a new Math::BigInt object representing one. The optional argument is
either '-' or '+', indicating whether you want plus one or minus one. If used
as an instance method, assigns the value to the invocand.

=item binf()

    $x = Math::BigInt->binf($sign);

Creates a new Math::BigInt object representing infinity. The optional argument
is either '-' or '+', indicating whether you want infinity or minus infinity.
If used as an instance method, assigns the value to the invocand.

    $x->binf();
    $x->binf('-');

=item bnan()

    $x = Math::BigInt->bnan();

Creates a new Math::BigInt object representing NaN (Not A Number). If used as
an instance method, assigns the value to the invocand.

    $x->bnan();

=item bpi()

    $x = Math::BigInt->bpi(100);        # 3
    $x->bpi(100);                       # 3

Creates a new Math::BigInt object representing PI. If used as an instance
method, assigns the value to the invocand. With Math::BigInt this always
returns 3.

If upgrading is in effect, returns PI, rounded to N digits with the current
rounding mode:

    use Math::BigFloat;
    use Math::BigInt upgrade => "Math::BigFloat";
    print Math::BigInt->bpi(3), "\n";           # 3.14
    print Math::BigInt->bpi(100), "\n";         # 3.1415....

=item copy()

    $x->copy();         # make a true copy of $x (unlike $y = $x)

=item as_int()

=item as_number()

These methods are called when Math::BigInt encounters an object it doesn't know
how to handle. For instance, assume $x is a Math::BigInt, or subclass thereof,
and $y is defined, but not a Math::BigInt, or subclass thereof. If you do

    $x -> badd($y);

$y needs to be converted into an object that $x can deal with. This is done by
first checking if $y is something that $x might be upgraded to. If that is the
case, no further attempts are made. The next is to see if $y supports the
method C<as_int()>. If it does, C<as_int()> is called, but if it doesn't, the
next thing is to see if $y supports the method C<as_number()>. If it does,
C<as_number()> is called. The method C<as_int()> (and C<as_number()>) is
expected to return either an object that has the same class as $x, a subclass
thereof, or a string that C<ref($x)-E<gt>new()> can parse to create an object.

C<as_number()> is an alias to C<as_int()>. C<as_number> was introduced in
v1.22, while C<as_int()> was introduced in v1.68.

In Math::BigInt, C<as_int()> has the same effect as C<copy()>.

=item as_float()

Return the argument as a Math::BigFloat object.

=item as_rat()

Return the argument as a Math::BigRat object.

=item babs()

    $x->babs();

Set the number to its absolute value, e.g. change the sign from '-' to '+'

=item bnorm()

    $x->bnorm();                        # normalize (no-op)

=item bmuladd()

    $x->bmuladd($y,$z);

Multiply $x by $y, and then add $z to the result,

This method was added in v1.87 of Math::BigInt (June 2007).

=item bdiv()

    $x->bdiv($y);               # divide, set $x to quotient

Divides $x by $y by doing floored division (F-division), where the quotient is
the floored (rounded towards negative infinity) quotient of the two operands.
In list context, returns the quotient and the remainder. The remainder is
either zero or has the same sign as the second operand. In scalar context, only
the quotient is returned.

The quotient is always the greatest integer less than or equal to the
real-valued quotient of the two operands, and the remainder (when it is
non-zero) always has the same sign as the second operand; so, for example,

      1 /  4  => ( 0,  1)
      1 / -4  => (-1, -3)
     -3 /  4  => (-1,  1)
     -3 / -4  => ( 0, -3)
    -11 /  2  => (-5,  1)
     11 / -2  => (-5, -1)

The behavior of the overloaded operator % agrees with the behavior of Perl's
built-in % operator (as documented in the perlop manpage), and the equation

    $x == ($x / $y) * $y + ($x % $y)

holds true for any finite $x and finite, non-zero $y.

Perl's "use integer" might change the behaviour of % and / for scalars. This is
because under 'use integer' Perl does what the underlying C library thinks is
right, and this varies. However, "use integer" does not change the way things
are done with Math::BigInt objects.

=item btdiv()

    $x->btdiv($y);              # divide, set $x to quotient

Divides $x by $y by doing truncated division (T-division), where quotient is
the truncated (rouneded towards zero) quotient of the two operands. In list
context, returns the quotient and the remainder. The remainder is either zero
or has the same sign as the first operand. In scalar context, only the quotient
is returned.

=item bmod()

    $x->bmod($y);               # modulus (x % y)

Returns $x modulo $y, i.e., the remainder after floored division (F-division).
This method is like Perl's % operator. See L</bdiv()>.

=item btmod()

    $x->btmod($y);              # modulus

Returns the remainer after truncated division (T-division). See L</btdiv()>.

=item bmodinv()

    $x->bmodinv($mod);          # modular multiplicative inverse

Returns the multiplicative inverse of C<$x> modulo C<$mod>. If

    $y = $x -> copy() -> bmodinv($mod)

then C<$y> is the number closest to zero, and with the same sign as C<$mod>,
satisfying

    ($x * $y) % $mod = 1 % $mod

If C<$x> and C<$y> are non-zero, they must be relative primes, i.e.,
C<bgcd($y, $mod)==1>. 'C<NaN>' is returned when no modular multiplicative
inverse exists.

=item bmodpow()

    $num->bmodpow($exp,$mod);           # modular exponentiation
                                        # ($num**$exp % $mod)

Returns the value of C<$num> taken to the power C<$exp> in the modulus
C<$mod> using binary exponentiation.  C<bmodpow> is far superior to
writing

    $num ** $exp % $mod

because it is much faster - it reduces internal variables into
the modulus whenever possible, so it operates on smaller numbers.

C<bmodpow> also supports negative exponents.

    bmodpow($num, -1, $mod)

is exactly equivalent to

    bmodinv($num, $mod)

=item bpow()

    $x->bpow($y);               # power of arguments (x ** y)

C<bpow()> (and the rounding functions) now modifies the first argument and
returns it, unlike the old code which left it alone and only returned the
result. This is to be consistent with C<badd()> etc. The first three modifies
$x, the last one won't:

    print bpow($x,$i),"\n";         # modify $x
    print $x->bpow($i),"\n";        # ditto
    print $x **= $i,"\n";           # the same
    print $x ** $i,"\n";            # leave $x alone

The form C<$x **= $y> is faster than C<$x = $x ** $y;>, though.

=item blog()

    $x->blog($base, $accuracy);         # logarithm of x to the base $base

If C<$base> is not defined, Euler's number (e) is used:

    print $x->blog(undef, 100);         # log(x) to 100 digits

=item bexp()

    $x->bexp($accuracy);                # calculate e ** X

Calculates the expression C<e ** $x> where C<e> is Euler's number.

This method was added in v1.82 of Math::BigInt (April 2007).

See also L</blog()>.

=item bnok()

    $x->bnok($y);               # x over y (binomial coefficient n over k)

Calculates the binomial coefficient n over k, also called the "choose"
function, which is

    ( n )       n!
    |   |  = --------
    ( k )    k!(n-k)!

when n and k are non-negative. This method implements the full Kronenburg
extension (Kronenburg, M.J. "The Binomial Coefficient for Negative Arguments."
18 May 2011. http://arxiv.org/abs/1105.3689/) illustrated by the following
pseudo-code:

    if n >= 0 and k >= 0:
        return binomial(n, k)
    if k >= 0:
        return (-1)^k*binomial(-n+k-1, k)
    if k <= n:
        return (-1)^(n-k)*binomial(-k-1, n-k)
    else
        return 0

The behaviour is identical to the behaviour of the Maple and Mathematica
function for negative integers n, k.

=item buparrow()

=item uparrow()

    $a -> buparrow($n, $b);         # modifies $a
    $x = $a -> uparrow($n, $b);     # does not modify $a

This method implements Knuth's up-arrow notation, where $n is a non-negative
integer representing the number of up-arrows. $n = 0 gives multiplication, $n =
1 gives exponentiation, $n = 2 gives tetration, $n = 3 gives hexation etc. The
following illustrates the relation between the first values of $n.

See L<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth%27s_up-arrow_notation>.

=item backermann()

=item ackermann()

    $m -> backermann($n);           # modifies $a
    $x = $m -> ackermann($n);       # does not modify $a

This method implements the Ackermann function:

    $F = $n->bfib();            # a single Fibonacci number
    @F = $n->bfib();            # a list of Fibonacci numbers

In scalar context, returns a single Fibonacci number. In list context, returns
a list of Fibonacci numbers. The invocand is the last element in the output.

The Fibonacci sequence is defined by

    F(0) = 0
    F(1) = 1
    F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2)

In list context, F(0) and F(n) is the first and last number in the output,
respectively. For example, if $n is 12, then C<< @F = $n->bfib() >> returns the
following values, F(0) to F(12):

    0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144

The sequence can also be extended to negative index n using the re-arranged
recurrence relation

    F(n-2) = F(n) - F(n-1)

giving the bidirectional sequence

       n  -7  -6  -5  -4  -3  -2  -1   0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7

In scalar context, returns a single Lucas number. In list context, returns a
list of Lucas numbers. The invocand is the last element in the output.

The Lucas sequence is defined by

    L(0) = 2
    L(1) = 1
    L(n) = L(n-1) + L(n-2)

In list context, L(0) and L(n) is the first and last number in the output,
respectively. For example, if $n is 12, then C<< @L = $n->blucas() >> returns
the following values, L(0) to L(12):

    2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, 123, 199, 322

The sequence can also be extended to negative index n using the re-arranged
recurrence relation

    L(n-2) = L(n) - L(n-1)

giving the bidirectional sequence

       n  -7  -6  -5  -4  -3  -2  -1   0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7
    L(n)  29 -18  11  -7   4  -3   1   2   1   3   4   7  11  18  29

=item blsft()

    $x->blsft($n);              # left shift $n places in base 2
    $x->blsft($n, $b);          # left shift $n places in base $b

The following probably doesn't do what you expect:

    $c = Math::BigInt->new(123);
    print $c->length(),"\n";                # prints 30

It prints both the number of digits in the number and in the fraction part

C<eparts()> corresponds to the output from C<bestr()>. In Math::BigInt, if the
significand can not be represented as an integer, upgrading is performed or NaN
is returned.

=item dparts()

Returns the integer part and the fraction part. If the fraction part can not be
represented as an integer, upgrading is performed or NaN is returned. The
output of C<dparts()> corresponds to the output from C<bdstr()>.

=item fparts()

=head1 ACCURACY and PRECISION

Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat have full support for accuracy and precision
based rounding, both automatically after every operation, as well as manually.

This section describes the accuracy/precision handling in Math::BigInt and
Math::BigFloat as it used to be and as it is now, complete with an explanation
of all terms and abbreviations.

Not yet implemented things (but with correct description) are marked with '!',
things that need to be answered are marked with '?'.

In the next paragraph follows a short description of terms used here (because
these may differ from terms used by others people or documentation).

During the rest of this document, the shortcuts A (for accuracy), P (for
precision), F (fallback) and R (rounding mode) are be used.

=head2 Precision P

Precision is a fixed number of digits before (positive) or after (negative) the
decimal point. For example, 123.45 has a precision of -2. 0 means an integer
like 123 (or 120). A precision of 2 means at least two digits to the left of
the decimal point are zero, so 123 with P = 1 becomes 120. Note that numbers
with zeros before the decimal point may have different precisions, because 1200
can have P = 0, 1 or 2 (depending on what the initial value was). It could also
have p < 0, when the digits after the decimal point are zero.

The string output (of floating point numbers) is padded with zeros:

    Initial value    P      A       Result          String

    1234.01          0              1234            1234

    1234.01          5              1234.01         1234.01000

For Math::BigInt objects, no padding occurs.

=head2 Accuracy A

Number of significant digits. Leading zeros are not counted. A number may have
an accuracy greater than the non-zero digits when there are zeros in it or
trailing zeros. For example, 123.456 has A of 6, 10203 has 5, 123.0506 has 7,
123.45000 has 8 and 0.000123 has 3.

The string output (of floating point numbers) is padded with zeros:

    Initial value    P      A       Result          String
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    1234.01                 3       1230            1230
    1234.01                 6       1234.01         1234.01
    1234.1                  8       1234.1          1234.1000

For Math::BigInt objects, no padding occurs.

=head2 Fallback F

When both A and P are undefined, this is used as a fallback accuracy when
dividing numbers.

=head2 Rounding mode R

When rounding a number, different 'styles' or 'kinds' of rounding are possible.
(Note that random rounding, as in Math::Round, is not implemented.)

=head3 Directed rounding

These round modes always round in the same direction.

=over

=item 'trunc'

Round towards zero. Remove all digits following the rounding place, i.e.,
replace them with zeros. Thus, 987.65 rounded to tens (P=1) becomes 980, and
rounded to the fourth significant digit becomes 987.6 (A=4). 123.456 rounded to
the second place after the decimal point (P=-2) becomes 123.46. This
corresponds to the IEEE 754 rounding mode 'roundTowardZero'.

=back

=head3 Rounding to nearest

These rounding modes round to the nearest digit. They differ in how they
determine which way to round in the ambiguous case when there is a tie.

=over

=item 'even'

Round towards the nearest even digit, e.g., when rounding to nearest integer,
-5.5 becomes -6, 4.5 becomes 4, but 4.501 becomes 5. This corresponds to the
IEEE 754 rounding mode 'roundTiesToEven'.

=item 'odd'

Round towards the nearest odd digit, e.g., when rounding to nearest integer,
4.5 becomes 5, -5.5 becomes -5, but 5.501 becomes 6. This corresponds to the
IEEE 754 rounding mode 'roundTiesToOdd'.

=item '+inf'

Round towards plus infinity, i.e., always round up. E.g., when rounding to the
nearest integer, 4.5 becomes 5, -5.5 becomes -5, and 4.501 also becomes 5. This
corresponds to the IEEE 754 rounding mode 'roundTiesToPositive'.

=item '-inf'

Round towards minus infinity, i.e., always round down. E.g., when rounding to
the nearest integer, 4.5 becomes 4, -5.5 becomes -6, but 4.501 becomes 5. This
corresponds to the IEEE 754 rounding mode 'roundTiesToNegative'.

=item 'zero'

Round towards zero, i.e., round positive numbers down and negative numbers up.
E.g., when rounding to the nearest integer, 4.5 becomes 4, -5.5 becomes -5, but
4.501 becomes 5. This corresponds to the IEEE 754 rounding mode
'roundTiesToZero'.

=item 'common'

Round away from zero, i.e., round to the number with the largest absolute
value. E.g., when rounding to the nearest integer, -1.5 becomes -2, 1.5 becomes
2 and 1.49 becomes 1. This corresponds to the IEEE 754 rounding mode
'roundTiesToAway'.

=back

The handling of A & P in MBI/MBF (the old core code shipped with Perl versions
<= 5.7.2) is like this:

=over

=item Precision

  * bfround($p) is able to round to $p number of digits after the decimal
    point
  * otherwise P is unused

=item Accuracy (significant digits)

  * bround($a) rounds to $a significant digits
  * only bdiv() and bsqrt() take A as (optional) parameter
    + other operations simply create the same number (bneg etc), or
      more (bmul) of digits
    + rounding/truncating is only done when explicitly calling one
      of bround or bfround, and never for Math::BigInt (not implemented)
  * bsqrt() simply hands its accuracy argument over to bdiv.
  * the documentation and the comment in the code indicate two
    different ways on how bdiv() determines the maximum number
    of digits it should calculate, and the actual code does yet
    another thing
    POD:
      max($Math::BigFloat::div_scale,length(dividend)+length(divisor))
    Comment:
      result has at most max(scale, length(dividend), length(divisor)) digits
    Actual code:
      scale = max(scale, length(dividend)-1,length(divisor)-1);
      scale += length(divisor) - length(dividend);
    So for lx = 3, ly = 9, scale = 10, scale will actually be 16 (10
    So for lx = 3, ly = 9, scale = 10, scale will actually be 16
    (10+9-3). Actually, the 'difference' added to the scale is cal-
    culated from the number of "significant digits" in dividend and
    divisor, which is derived by looking at the length of the man-
    tissa. Which is wrong, since it includes the + sign (oops) and
    actually gets 2 for '+100' and 4 for '+101'. Oops again. Thus
    124/3 with div_scale=1 will get you '41.3' based on the strange
    assumption that 124 has 3 significant digits, while 120/7 will
    get you '17', not '17.1' since 120 is thought to have 2 signif-
    icant digits. The rounding after the division then uses the
    remainder and $y to determine whether it must round up or down.
 ?  I have no idea which is the right way. That's why I used a slightly more
 ?  simple scheme and tweaked the few failing testcases to match it.

=back

This is how it works now:

=over

=item Setting/Accessing

  * You can set the A global via Math::BigInt->accuracy() or
    Math::BigFloat->accuracy() or whatever class you are using.
  * You can also set P globally by using Math::SomeClass->precision()
    likewise.
  * Globals are classwide, and not inherited by subclasses.
  * to undefine A, use Math::SomeClass->accuracy(undef);
  * to undefine P, use Math::SomeClass->precision(undef);
  * Setting Math::SomeClass->accuracy() clears automatically
    Math::SomeClass->precision(), and vice versa.
  * To be valid, A must be > 0, P can have any value.
  * If P is negative, this means round to the P'th place to the right of the
    decimal point; positive values mean to the left of the decimal point.
    P of 0 means round to integer.
  * to find out the current global A, use Math::SomeClass->accuracy()
  * to find out the current global P, use Math::SomeClass->precision()
  * use $x->accuracy() respective $x->precision() for the local
    setting of $x.
  * Please note that $x->accuracy() respective $x->precision()
    return eventually defined global A or P, when $x's A or P is not
    set.

=item Creating numbers

  * When you create a number, you can give the desired A or P via:
    $x = Math::BigInt->new($number,$A,$P);
  * Only one of A or P can be defined, otherwise the result is NaN
  * If no A or P is give ($x = Math::BigInt->new($number) form), then the
    globals (if set) will be used. Thus changing the global defaults later on
    will not change the A or P of previously created numbers (i.e., A and P of
    $x will be what was in effect when $x was created)
  * If given undef for A and P, NO rounding will occur, and the globals will
    NOT be used. This is used by subclasses to create numbers without
    suffering rounding in the parent. Thus a subclass is able to have its own
    globals enforced upon creation of a number by using
    $x = Math::BigInt->new($number,undef,undef):

        use Math::BigInt::SomeSubclass;
        use Math::BigInt;

        Math::BigInt->accuracy(2);
        Math::BigInt::SomeSubclass->accuracy(3);
        $x = Math::BigInt::SomeSubclass->new(1234);

    $x is now 1230, and not 1200. A subclass might choose to implement
    this otherwise, e.g. falling back to the parent's A and P.

=item Usage

  * If A or P are enabled/defined, they are used to round the result of each
    operation according to the rules below
  * Negative P is ignored in Math::BigInt, since Math::BigInt objects never
    have digits after the decimal point
  * Math::BigFloat uses Math::BigInt internally, but setting A or P inside
    Math::BigInt as globals does not tamper with the parts of a Math::BigFloat.
    A flag is used to mark all Math::BigFloat numbers as 'never round'.

=item Precedence

  * It only makes sense that a number has only one of A or P at a time.
    If you set either A or P on one object, or globally, the other one will
    be automatically cleared.
  * If two objects are involved in an operation, and one of them has A in
    effect, and the other P, this results in an error (NaN).
  * A takes precedence over P (Hint: A comes before P).
    If neither of them is defined, nothing is used, i.e. the result will have
    as many digits as it can (with an exception for bdiv/bsqrt) and will not
    be rounded.
  * There is another setting for bdiv() (and thus for bsqrt()). If neither of
    A or P is defined, bdiv() will use a fallback (F) of $div_scale digits.
    If either the dividend's or the divisor's mantissa has more digits than
    the value of F, the higher value will be used instead of F.
    This is to limit the digits (A) of the result (just consider what would
    happen with unlimited A and P in the case of 1/3 :-)
  * bdiv will calculate (at least) 4 more digits than required (determined by
    A, P or F), and, if F is not used, round the result
    (this will still fail in the case of a result like 0.12345000000001 with A
    or P of 5, but this can not be helped - or can it?)
  * Thus you can have the math done by on Math::Big* class in two modi:
    + never round (this is the default):
      This is done by setting A and P to undef. No math operation
      will round the result, with bdiv() and bsqrt() as exceptions to guard
      against overflows. You must explicitly call bround(), bfround() or
      round() (the latter with parameters).
      Note: Once you have rounded a number, the settings will 'stick' on it
      and 'infect' all other numbers engaged in math operations with it, since
      local settings have the highest precedence. So, to get SaferRound[tm],
      use a copy() before rounding like this:

        $x = Math::BigFloat->new(12.34);
        $y = Math::BigFloat->new(98.76);
        $z = $x * $y;                           # 1218.6984
        print $x->copy()->bround(3);            # 12.3 (but A is now 3!)
        $z = $x * $y;                           # still 1218.6984, without
                                                # copy would have been 1210!

    + round after each op:
      After each single operation (except for testing like is_zero()), the
      method round() is called and the result is rounded appropriately. By
      setting proper values for A and P, you can have all-the-same-A or
      all-the-same-P modes. For example, Math::Currency might set A to undef,
      and P to -2, globally.

 ?Maybe an extra option that forbids local A & P settings would be in order,
 ?so that intermediate rounding does not 'poison' further math?

=item Overriding globals

  * you will be able to give A, P and R as an argument to all the calculation
    routines; the second parameter is A, the third one is P, and the fourth is
    R (shift right by one for binary operations like badd). P is used only if
    the first parameter (A) is undefined. These three parameters override the
    globals in the order detailed as follows, i.e. the first defined value
    wins:
    (local: per object, global: global default, parameter: argument to sub)
      + parameter A
      + parameter P
      + local A (if defined on both of the operands: smaller one is taken)
      + local P (if defined on both of the operands: bigger one is taken)
      + global A
      + global P
      + global F
  * bsqrt() will hand its arguments to bdiv(), as it used to, only now for two
    arguments (A and P) instead of one

=item Local settings

  * You can set A or P locally by using $x->accuracy() or
    $x->precision()
    and thus force different A and P for different objects/numbers.
  * Setting A or P this way immediately rounds $x to the new value.
  * $x->accuracy() clears $x->precision(), and vice versa.

=item Rounding

  * the rounding routines will use the respective global or local settings.
    bround() is for accuracy rounding, while bfround() is for precision
  * the two rounding functions take as the second parameter one of the
    following rounding modes (R):
    'even', 'odd', '+inf', '-inf', 'zero', 'trunc', 'common'
  * you can set/get the global R by using Math::SomeClass->round_mode()
    or by setting $Math::SomeClass::round_mode
  * after each operation, $result->round() is called, and the result may
    eventually be rounded (that is, if A or P were set either locally,
    globally or as parameter to the operation)
  * to manually round a number, call $x->round($A,$P,$round_mode);
    this will round the number by using the appropriate rounding function
    and then normalize it.
  * rounding modifies the local settings of the number:

        $x = Math::BigFloat->new(123.456);
        $x->accuracy(5);
        $x->bround(4);

    Here 4 takes precedence over 5, so 123.5 is the result and $x->accuracy()
    will be 4 from now on.

=item Default values

  * R: 'even'
  * F: 40
  * A: undef
  * P: undef

=item Remarks

  * The defaults are set up so that the new code gives the same results as
    the old code (except in a few cases on bdiv):
    + Both A and P are undefined and thus will not be used for rounding
      after each operation.
    + round() is thus a no-op, unless given extra parameters A and P

=back

=head1 Infinity and Not a Number

While Math::BigInt has extensive handling of inf and NaN, certain quirks
remain.

=over

=item oct()/hex()

These perl routines currently (as of Perl v.5.8.6) cannot handle passed inf.

    te@linux:~> perl -wle 'print 2 ** 3333'
    Inf
    te@linux:~> perl -wle 'print 2 ** 3333 == 2 ** 3333'
    1
    te@linux:~> perl -wle 'print oct(2 ** 3333)'
    0
    te@linux:~> perl -wle 'print hex(2 ** 3333)'
    Illegal hexadecimal digit 'I' ignored at -e line 1.
    0

The same problems occur if you pass them Math::BigInt->binf() objects. Since
overloading these routines is not possible, this cannot be fixed from
Math::BigInt.

=back

=head1 INTERNALS

You should neither care about nor depend on the internal representation; it
might change without notice. Use B<ONLY> method calls like C<< $x->sign(); >>
instead relying on the internal representation.

=head2 MATH LIBRARY

The mathematical computations are performed by a backend library. It is not
required to specify which backend library to use, but some backend libraries
are much faster than the default library.

=head3 The default library

The default library is L<Math::BigInt::Calc>, which is implemented in pure Perl
and hence does not require a compiler.

=head3 Specifying a library

The simple case

    use Math::BigInt;

is equivalent to saying

    use Math::BigInt try => 'Calc';

You can use a different backend library with, e.g.,

    use Math::BigInt try => 'GMP';

which attempts to load the L<Math::BigInt::GMP> library, and falls back to the
default library if the specified library can't be loaded.

Multiple libraries can be specified by separating them by a comma, e.g.,

    use Math::BigInt try => 'GMP,Pari';

If you request a specific set of libraries and do not allow fallback to the
default library, specify them using "only",

    use Math::BigInt only => 'GMP,Pari';

If you prefer a specific set of libraries, but want to see a warning if the
fallback library is used, specify them using "lib",

    use Math::BigInt lib => 'GMP,Pari';

The following first tries to find Math::BigInt::Foo, then Math::BigInt::Bar, and
if this also fails, reverts to Math::BigInt::Calc:

    use Math::BigInt try => 'Foo,Math::BigInt::Bar';

=head3 Which library to use?

B<Note>: General purpose packages should not be explicit about the library to
use; let the script author decide which is best.

L<Math::BigInt::GMP>, L<Math::BigInt::Pari>, and L<Math::BigInt::GMPz> are in
cases involving big numbers much faster than L<Math::BigInt::Calc>. However
these libraries are slower when dealing with very small numbers (less than about
20 digits) and when converting very large numbers to decimal (for instance for
printing, rounding, calculating their length in decimal etc.).

So please select carefully what library you want to use.

Different low-level libraries use different formats to store the numbers, so
mixing them won't work. You should not depend on the number having a specific
internal format.

See the respective math library module documentation for further details.

=head3 Loading multiple libraries

The first library that is successfully loaded is the one that will be used. Any
further attempts at loading a different module will be ignored. This is to avoid
the situation where module A requires math library X, and module B requires math
library Y, causing modules A and B to be incompatible. For example,

    use Math::BigInt;                   # loads default "Calc"
    use Math::BigFloat only => "GMP";   # ignores "GMP"

=head2 SIGN

The sign is either '+', '-', 'NaN', '+inf' or '-inf'.

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 get '+inf' when dividing a positive number by 0, and '-inf'
when dividing any negative number by 0.

=head1 EXAMPLES

  use Math::BigInt;

  sub bigint { Math::BigInt->new(shift); }

  $x = Math::BigInt->bstr("1234")       # string "1234"
  $x = "$x";                            # same as bstr()
  $x = Math::BigInt->bneg("1234");      # Math::BigInt "-1234"
  $x = Math::BigInt->babs("-12345");    # Math::BigInt "12345"
  $x = Math::BigInt->bnorm("-0.00");    # Math::BigInt "0"
  $x = bigint(1) + bigint(2);           # Math::BigInt "3"
  $x = bigint(1) + "2";                 # ditto ("2" becomes a Math::BigInt)
  $x = bigint(1);                       # Math::BigInt "1"
  $x = $x + 5 / 2;                      # Math::BigInt "3"
  $x = $x ** 3;                         # Math::BigInt "27"
  $x *= 2;                              # Math::BigInt "54"
  $x = Math::BigInt->new(0);            # Math::BigInt "0"
  $x--;                                 # Math::BigInt "-1"
  $x = Math::BigInt->badd(4,5)          # Math::BigInt "9"
  print $x->bsstr();                    # 9e+0

Examples for rounding:

  use Math::BigFloat;
  use Test::More;

  $x = Math::BigFloat->new(123.4567);
  $y = Math::BigFloat->new(123.456789);
  Math::BigFloat->accuracy(4);          # no more A than 4

  is ($x->copy()->bround(),123.4);      # even rounding
  print $x->copy()->bround(),"\n";      # 123.4
  Math::BigFloat->round_mode('odd');    # round to odd
  print $x->copy()->bround(),"\n";      # 123.5
  Math::BigFloat->accuracy(5);          # no more A than 5
  Math::BigFloat->round_mode('odd');    # round to odd
  print $x->copy()->bround(),"\n";      # 123.46
  $y = $x->copy()->bround(4),"\n";      # A = 4: 123.4
  print "$y, ",$y->accuracy(),"\n";     # 123.4, 4

  Math::BigFloat->accuracy(undef);      # A not important now
  Math::BigFloat->precision(2);         # P important
  print $x->copy()->bnorm(),"\n";       # 123.46
  print $x->copy()->bround(),"\n";      # 123.46

Examples for converting:

  my $x = Math::BigInt->new('0b1'.'01' x 123);
  print "bin: ",$x->as_bin()," hex:",$x->as_hex()," dec: ",$x,"\n";

=head1 NUMERIC LITERALS

After C<use Math::BigInt ':constant'> all numeric literals in the given scope
are converted to C<Math::BigInt> objects. This conversion happens at compile
time. Every non-integer is convert to a NaN.

For example,

    perl -MMath::BigInt=:constant -le 'print 2**150'

prints the exact value of C<2**150>. Note that without conversion of constants
to objects the expression C<2**150> is calculated using Perl scalars, which
leads to an inaccurate result.

Please note that strings are not affected, so that

    use Math::BigInt qw/:constant/;

    $x = "1234567890123456789012345678901234567890"
            + "123456789123456789";

does give you what you expect. You need an explicit Math::BigInt->new() around
at least one of the operands. You should also quote large constants to prevent
loss of precision:

    use Math::BigInt;

    $x = Math::BigInt->new("1234567889123456789123456789123456789");

Without the quotes Perl first converts the large number to a floating point
constant at compile time, and then converts the result to a Math::BigInt object
at run time, which results in an inaccurate result.

=head2 Hexadecimal, octal, and binary floating point literals

Perl (and this module) accepts hexadecimal, octal, and binary floating point
literals, but use them with care with Perl versions before v5.32.0, because some
versions of Perl silently give the wrong result. Below are some examples of
different ways to write the number decimal 314.

Hexadecimal floating point literals:

    0x1.3ap+8         0X1.3AP+8
    0x1.3ap8          0X1.3AP8
    0x13a0p-4         0X13A0P-4

Octal floating point literals (with "0" prefix):

    01.164p+8         01.164P+8
    01.164p8          01.164P8
    011640p-4         011640P-4

Octal floating point literals (with "0o" prefix) (requires v5.34.0):

    0o1.164p+8        0O1.164P+8
    0o1.164p8         0O1.164P8
    0o11640p-4        0O11640P-4

Binary floating point literals:

    0b1.0011101p+8    0B1.0011101P+8
    0b1.0011101p8     0B1.0011101P8
    0b10011101000p-2  0B10011101000P-2

=head1 PERFORMANCE

Using the form $x += $y; etc over $x = $x + $y is faster, since a copy of $x
must be made in the second case. For long numbers, the copy can eat up to 20%
of the work (in the case of addition/subtraction, less for
multiplication/division). If $y is very small compared to $x, the form $x += $y
is MUCH faster than $x = $x + $y since making the copy of $x takes more time
then the actual addition.

With a technique called copy-on-write, the cost of copying with overload could
be minimized or even completely avoided. A test implementation of COW did show
performance gains for overloaded math, but introduced a performance loss due to
a constant overhead for all other operations. So Math::BigInt does currently
not COW.

The rewritten version of this module (vs. v0.01) is slower on certain
operations, like C<new()>, C<bstr()> and C<numify()>. The reason are that it
does now more work and handles much more cases. The time spent in these
operations is usually gained in the other math operations so that code on the
average should get (much) faster. If they don't, please contact the author.

Some operations may be slower for small numbers, but are significantly faster
for big numbers. Other operations are now constant (O(1), like C<bneg()>,
C<babs()> etc), instead of O(N) and thus nearly always take much less time.
These optimizations were done on purpose.

If you find the Calc module to slow, try to install any of the replacement
modules and see if they help you.

=head2 Alternative math libraries

You can use an alternative library to drive Math::BigInt. See the section
L</MATH LIBRARY> for more information.

=head1 SUBCLASSING

=head2 Subclassing Math::BigInt

The basic design of Math::BigInt allows simple subclasses with very little
work, as long as a few simple rules are followed:

=over

=item *

The public API must remain consistent, i.e. if a sub-class is overloading
addition, the sub-class must use the same name, in this case badd(). The reason
for this is that Math::BigInt is optimized to call the object methods directly.

=item *

The private object hash keys like C<< $x->{sign} >> may not be changed, but
additional keys can be added, like C<< $x->{_custom} >>.

=item *

Accessor functions are available for all existing object hash keys and should
be used instead of directly accessing the internal hash keys. The reason for
this is that Math::BigInt itself has a pluggable interface which permits it to
support different storage methods.

=back

More complex sub-classes may have to replicate more of the logic internal of
Math::BigInt if they need to change more basic behaviors. A subclass that needs
to merely change the output only needs to overload C<bstr()>.

All other object methods and overloaded functions can be directly inherited
from the parent class.

At the very minimum, any subclass needs to provide its own C<new()> and can
store additional hash keys in the object. There are also some package globals
that must be defined, e.g.:

    # Globals
    $accuracy = undef;
    $precision = -2;       # round to 2 decimal places
    $round_mode = 'even';
    $div_scale = 40;

Additionally, you might want to provide the following two globals to allow
auto-upgrading and auto-downgrading to work correctly:

    $upgrade = undef;
    $downgrade = undef;

This allows Math::BigInt to correctly retrieve package globals from the
subclass, like C<$SubClass::precision>. See t/Math/BigInt/Subclass.pm or
t/Math/BigFloat/SubClass.pm completely functional subclass examples.

Don't forget to

    use overload;

in your subclass to automatically inherit the overloading from the parent. If
you like, you can change part of the overloading, look at Math::String for an
example.

=head1 UPGRADING

When used like this:

    use Math::BigInt upgrade => 'Foo::Bar';

certain operations 'upgrade' their calculation and thus the result to the class
Foo::Bar. Usually this is used in conjunction with Math::BigFloat:

    use Math::BigInt upgrade => 'Math::BigFloat';

As a shortcut, you can use the module L<bignum>:

    use bignum;

Also good for one-liners:

    perl -Mbignum -le 'print 2 ** 255'

This makes it possible to mix arguments of different classes (as in 2.5 + 2) as
well es preserve accuracy (as in sqrt(3)).

Beware: This feature is not fully implemented yet.

=head2 Auto-upgrade

The following methods upgrade themselves unconditionally; that is if upgrade is
in effect, they always hands up their work:

    div bsqrt blog bexp bpi bsin bcos batan batan2

All other methods upgrade themselves only when one (or all) of their arguments
are of the class mentioned in $upgrade.

=head1 EXPORTS

C<Math::BigInt> exports nothing by default, but can export the following
methods:

    bgcd
    blcm

=head1 CAVEATS

Some things might not work as you expect them. Below is documented what is
known to be troublesome:

=over

=item Comparing numbers as strings

Both C<bstr()> and C<bsstr()> as well as stringify via overload drop the
leading '+'. This is to be consistent with Perl and to make C<cmp> (especially
with overloading) to work as you expect. It also solves problems with
C<Test.pm> and L<Test::More>, which stringify arguments before comparing them.

Mark Biggar said, when asked about to drop the '+' altogether, or make only
C<cmp> work:

    I agree (with the first alternative), don't add the '+' on positive
    numbers.  It's not as important anymore with the new internal form
    for numbers.  It made doing things like abs and neg easier, but
    those have to be done differently now anyway.

So, the following examples now works as expected:

    use Test::More tests => 1;
    use Math::BigInt;

    my $x = Math::BigInt -> new(3*3);
    my $y = Math::BigInt -> new(3*3);

    is($x,3*3, 'multiplication');
    print "$x eq 9" if $x eq $y;
    print "$x eq 9" if $x eq '9';
    print "$x eq 9" if $x eq 3*3;

Additionally, the following still works:

    print "$x == 9" if $x == $y;
    print "$x == 9" if $x == 9;
    print "$x == 9" if $x == 3*3;

There is now a C<bsstr()> method to get the string in scientific notation aka
C<1e+2> instead of C<100>. Be advised that overloaded 'eq' always uses bstr()
for comparison, but Perl represents some numbers as 100 and others as 1e+308.
If in doubt, convert both arguments to Math::BigInt before comparing them as
strings:

    use Test::More tests => 3;
    use Math::BigInt;

    $x = Math::BigInt->new('1e56');
    $y = 1e56;
    is($x,$y);                     # fails
    is($x->bsstr(), $y);           # okay
    $y = Math::BigInt->new($y);
    is($x, $y);                    # okay

Alternatively, simply use C<< <=> >> for comparisons, this always gets it
right. There is not yet a way to get a number automatically represented as a
string that matches exactly the way Perl represents it.

See also the section about L<Infinity and Not a Number> for problems in
comparing NaNs.

=item int()

C<int()> returns (at least for Perl v5.7.1 and up) another Math::BigInt, not a
Perl scalar:

    $x = Math::BigInt->new(123);
    $y = int($x);                           # 123 as a Math::BigInt
    $x = Math::BigFloat->new(123.45);
    $y = int($x);                           # 123 as a Math::BigFloat

If you want a real Perl scalar, use C<numify()>:

    $y = $x->numify();                      # 123 as a scalar

This is seldom necessary, though, because this is done automatically, like when
you access an array:

    $z = $array[$x];                        # does work automatically

=item Modifying and =

Beware of:

    $x = Math::BigFloat->new(5);
    $y = $x;

This makes a second reference to the B<same> object and stores it in $y. Thus
anything that modifies $x (except overloaded operators) also modifies $y, and
vice versa. Or in other words, C<=> is only safe if you modify your
Math::BigInt objects only via overloaded math. As soon as you use a method call
it breaks:

    $x->bmul(2);
    print "$x, $y\n";       # prints '10, 10'

If you want a true copy of $x, use:

    $y = $x->copy();

You can also chain the calls like this, this first makes a copy and then
multiply it by 2:

    $y = $x->copy()->bmul(2);

See also the documentation for overload.pm regarding C<=>.

=item Overloading -$x

The following:

    $x = -$x;

is slower than

    $x->bneg();

since overload calls C<sub($x,0,1);> instead of C<neg($x)>. The first variant
needs to preserve $x since it does not know that it later gets overwritten.
This makes a copy of $x and takes O(N), but $x->bneg() is O(1).

=item Mixing different object types

With overloaded operators, it is the first (dominating) operand that determines
which method is called. Here are some examples showing what actually gets
called in various cases.

    use Math::BigInt;
    use Math::BigFloat;

    $mbf  = Math::BigFloat->new(5);
    $mbi2 = Math::BigInt->new(5);
    $mbi  = Math::BigInt->new(2);
                                    # what actually gets called:
    $float = $mbf + $mbi;           # $mbf->badd($mbi)
    $float = $mbf / $mbi;           # $mbf->bdiv($mbi)
    $integer = $mbi + $mbf;         # $mbi->badd($mbf)
    $integer = $mbi2 / $mbi;        # $mbi2->bdiv($mbi)
    $integer = $mbi2 / $mbf;        # $mbi2->bdiv($mbf)

For instance, Math::BigInt->bdiv() always returns a Math::BigInt, regardless of
whether the second operant is a Math::BigFloat. To get a Math::BigFloat you
either need to call the operation manually, make sure each operand already is a
Math::BigFloat, or cast to that type via Math::BigFloat->new():

    $float = Math::BigFloat->new($mbi2) / $mbi;     # = 2.5

Beware of casting the entire expression, as this would cast the
result, at which point it is too late:

    $float = Math::BigFloat->new($mbi2 / $mbi);     # = 2

Beware also of the order of more complicated expressions like:

    $integer = ($mbi2 + $mbi) / $mbf;               # int / float => int
    $integer = $mbi2 / Math::BigFloat->new($mbi);   # ditto

If in doubt, break the expression into simpler terms, or cast all operands
to the desired resulting type.

Scalar values are a bit different, since:

    $float = 2 + $mbf;
    $float = $mbf + 2;

both result in the proper type due to the way the overloaded math works.

This section also applies to other overloaded math packages, like Math::String.

One solution to you problem might be autoupgrading|upgrading. See the
pragmas L<bignum>, L<bigint> and L<bigrat> for an easy way to do this.
