package bigint;
#
# This library is no longer being maintained, and is included for backward
# compatibility with Perl 4 programs which may require it.
#
# In particular, this should not be used as an example of modern Perl
# programming techniques.
#
# Suggested alternative:  Math::BigInt
#
# arbitrary size integer math package
#
# by Mark Biggar
#
# Canonical Big integer value are strings of the form
#       /^[+-]\d+$/ with leading zeros suppressed
# Input values to these routines may be strings of the form
#       /^\s*[+-]?[\d\s]+$/.
# Examples:
#   '+0'                            canonical zero value
#   '   -123 123 123'               canonical value '-123123123'
#   '1 23 456 7890'                 canonical value '+1234567890'
# Output values always in canonical form
#
# Actual math is done in an internal format consisting of an array
#   whose first element is the sign (/^[+-]$/) and whose remaining 
#   elements are base 100000 digits with the least significant digit first.
# The string 'NaN' is used to represent the result when input arguments 
#   are not numbers, as well as the result of dividing by zero
#
# routines provided are:
#
#   bneg(BINT) return BINT              negation
#   babs(BINT) return BINT              absolute value
#   bcmp(BINT,BINT) return CODE         compare numbers (undef,<0,=0,>0)
#   badd(BINT,BINT) return BINT         addition
#   bsub(BINT,BINT) return BINT         subtraction
#   bmul(BINT,BINT) return BINT         multiplication
#   bdiv(BINT,BINT) return (BINT,BINT)  division (quo,rem) just quo if scalar
#   bmod(BINT,BINT) return BINT         modulus
#   bgcd(BINT,BINT) return BINT         greatest common divisor
#   bnorm(BINT) return BINT             normalization
