a signed arbitrary precision arithmetic library

infinity, as of present, is by no means a replacement for any serious work, it is a weekend hack at best. Please proceed with extreme caution. You have been warned!

usage

1. Build libInfinity.a using make all in the src directory.
2. Copy the header files and libInteger.a file to your project.
3. Include the header files as per requirement in your source file.
4. Compile with -L$(LIB) and -lInfinity flags where LIB is the directory where libInfinity.a resides in.

tests

Run make testInteger in the src directory to compile the sanity checks. Execute the generated executable with ./test.out.

example

integer

#include <iostream>
#include "Integer.h"

int main() {
    Integer a("80");
    Integer b("4");
    Integer c = 11;
    Integer d = 100;

    std::cout << "a :: " << a;
    std::cout << "b :: " << b;
    std::cout << "c :: " << c;
    std::cout << "d :: " << d;

    std::cout << "a <= b :: " << (a <= b) << std::endl;
    std::cout << "a < b :: " << (a < b) << std::endl;
    std::cout << "a >= b :: " << (a >= b) << std::endl;
    std::cout << "a > b :: " << (a > b) << std::endl;
    std::cout << "a == b :: " << (a == b) << std::endl;
    std::cout << "a != b :: " << (a != b) << std::endl;

    std::cout << "-a :: " << -a;
    std::cout << "a + b :: " << a + b;
    std::cout << "a - b :: " << a - b;
    std::cout << "a * b :: " << a * b;
    std::cout << "a / b :: " << a / b;
    std::cout << "a % b :: " << a % b;
    std::cout << "Integer::pow(c, d) :: " << Integer::pow(c, d);

    return 0;
}

Which results in:

a :: Integer(+80)
b :: Integer(+4)
c :: Integer(+11)
d :: Integer(+100)
a <= b :: 0
a < b :: 0
a >= b :: 1
a > b :: 1
a == b :: 0
a != b :: 1
-a :: Integer(-80)
a + b :: Integer(+84)
a - b :: Integer(+76)
a * b :: Integer(+320)
a / b :: Integer(+20)
a % b :: Integer(+0)
Integer::pow(c, d) :: Integer(+137806123398222701841183371720896367762643312000384664331464775521549852095523076769401159497458526446001)

warning

This a pet project to explore arbitrary precision arithmetic. If you need arbitrary precision arithmetic, consider using something more mature like GMP.
