**BigInteger.js** is an arbitrary-length integer library for Javascript, allowing arithmetic operations on integers of unlimited size, notwithstanding memory and time limitations.

**Update (December 2, 2018):** [`BigInt` is being added as a native feature of JavaScript](https://tc39.github.io/proposal-bigint/). This library now works as a polyfill: if the environment supports the native `BigInt`, this library acts as a thin wrapper over the native implementation.

## Installation

If you are using a browser, you can download [BigInteger.js from GitHub](http://peterolson.github.com/BigInteger.js/BigInteger.min.js) or just hotlink to it:

	<script src="https://peterolson.github.io/BigInteger.js/BigInteger.min.js"></script>

If you are using node, you can install BigInteger with [npm](https://npmjs.org/).

    npm install big-integer

Then you can include it in your code:

	var bigInt = require("big-integer");


## Usage
### `bigInt(number, [base], [alphabet], [caseSensitive])`

You can create a bigInt by calling the `bigInt` function. You can pass in

 - a string, which it will parse as an bigInt and throw an `"Invalid integer"` error if the parsing fails.
 - a Javascript number, which it will parse as an bigInt and throw an `"Invalid integer"` error if the parsing fails.
 - another bigInt.
 - nothing, and it will return `bigInt.zero`.

 If you provide a second parameter, then it will parse `number` as a number in base `base`. Note that `base` can be any bigInt (even negative or zero). The letters "a-z" and "A-Z" will be interpreted as the numbers 10 to 35. Higher digits can be specified in angle brackets (`<` and `>`). The default `base` is `10`.

 You can specify a custom alphabet for base conversion with the third parameter. The default `alphabet` is `"0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"`.

 The fourth parameter specifies whether or not the number string should be case-sensitive, i.e. whether `a` and `A` should be treated as different digits. By default `caseSensitive` is `false`.

Examples:

    var zero = bigInt();
    var ninetyThree = bigInt(93);
	var largeNumber = bigInt("75643564363473453456342378564387956906736546456235345");
	var googol = bigInt("1e100");
	var bigNumber = bigInt(largeNumber);

	var maximumByte = bigInt("FF", 16);
	var fiftyFiveGoogol = bigInt("<55>0", googol);

Note that Javascript numbers larger than `9007199254740992` and smaller than `-9007199254740992` are not precisely represented numbers and will not produce exact results. If you are dealing with numbers outside that range, it is better to pass in strings.

### Method Chaining

Note that bigInt operations return bigInts, which allows you to chain methods, for example:

    var salary = bigInt(dollarsPerHour).times(hoursWorked).plus(randomBonuses)

### Constants

There are three named constants already stored that you do not have to construct with the `bigInt` function yourself:

 - `bigInt.one`, equivalent to `bigInt(1)`
 - `bigInt.zero`, equivalent to `bigInt(0)`
 - `bigInt.minusOne`, equivalent to `bigInt(-1)`

The numbers from -999 to 999 are also already prestored and can be accessed using `bigInt[index]`, for example:

 - `bigInt[-999]`, equivalent to `bigInt(-999)`
 - `bigInt[256]`, equivalent to `bigInt(256)`

### Methods

 - `bigInt(6).isPrime()` => `false`

#### `isProbablePrime([iterations], [rng])`

Returns `true` if the number is very likely to be prime, `false` otherwise.
Supplying `iterations` is optional - it determines the number of iterations of the test (default: `5`). The more iterations, the lower chance of getting a false positive.
This uses the [Miller Rabin test](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller%E2%80%93Rabin_primality_test).

 - `bigInt(5).isProbablePrime()` => `true`
 - `bigInt(49).isProbablePrime()` => `false`
 - `bigInt(1729).isProbablePrime()` => `false`

Note that this function is not deterministic, since it relies on random sampling of factors, so the result for some numbers is not always the same - unless you pass a predictable random number generator as `rng`. The behavior and requirements are the same as with `randBetween`.

 - `bigInt(1729).isProbablePrime(1, () => 0.1)` => `false`
 - `bigInt(1729).isProbablePrime(1, () => 0.2)` => `true`

If the number is composite then the Miller–Rabin primality test declares the number probably prime with a probability at most `4` to the power `−iterations`.
If the number is prime, this function always returns `true`.

#### `isUnit()`

#### `toArray(radix)`

Converts a bigInt into an object with the properties "value" and "isNegative." "Value" is an array of integers modulo the given radix. "isNegative" is a boolean that represents the sign of the result.

 - `bigInt("1e9").toArray(10)` => {
     value: [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
     isNegative: false
   }

     isNegative: false
   }
 - `bigInt(1).toArray(0)` => `Error: Cannot convert nonzero numbers to base 0.`

#### `toJSNumber()`

Converts a bigInt into a native Javascript number. Loses precision for numbers outside the range `[-9007199254740992, 9007199254740992]`.

### Static Methods

#### `fromArray(digits, base = 10, isNegative?)`

Constructs a bigInt from an array of digits in base `base`. The optional `isNegative` flag will make the number negative.

 - `bigInt.fromArray([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 10)` => `12345`
 - `bigInt.fromArray([1, 0, 0], 2, true)` => `-4`

#### `gcd(a, b)`

Finds the greatest common denominator of `a` and `b`.

 - `bigInt.gcd(42,56)` => `14`

#### `isInstance(x)`

Returns `true` if `x` is a BigInteger, `false` otherwise.

 - `bigInt.isInstance(bigInt(14))` => `true`
 - `bigInt.isInstance(14)` => `false`

#### `lcm(a,b)`

Finds the least common multiple of `a` and `b`.

 - `bigInt.lcm(21, 6)` => `42`

 - `bigInt.min(77, 432)` => `77`

#### `randBetween(min, max, [rng])`

Returns a random number between `min` and `max`, optionally using `rng` to generate randomness.

 - `bigInt.randBetween("-1e100", "1e100")` => (for example) `8494907165436643479673097939554427056789510374838494147955756275846226209006506706784609314471378745`

`rng` should take no arguments and return a `number` between 0 and 1. It defaults to `Math.random`.

  - `bigInt.randBetween("-1e100", "1e100", () => 0.5)` => (always) `50000005000000500000050000005000000500000050000005000000500000050000005000000500000050000005000000`


### Override Methods

#### `toString(radix = 10, [alphabet])`

Converts a bigInt to a string. There is an optional radix parameter (which defaults to 10) that converts the number to the given radix. Digits in the range `10-35` will use the letters `a-z`.

 - `bigInt("1e9").toString()` => `"1000000000"`
 - `bigInt("1e9").toString(16)` => `"3b9aca00"`

 You can use a custom base alphabet with the second parameter. The default `alphabet` is `"0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"`.

  - `bigInt("5").toString(2, "aA")` => `"AaA"`

**Note that arithmetical operators will trigger the `valueOf` function rather than the `toString` function.** When converting a bigInteger to a string, you should use the `toString` method or the `String` function instead of adding the empty string.

 - `bigInt("999999999999999999").toString()` => `"999999999999999999"`
 - `String(bigInt("999999999999999999"))` => `"999999999999999999"`
 - `bigInt("999999999999999999") + ""` => `1000000000000000000`

Bases larger than 36 are supported. If a digit is greater than or equal to 36, it will be enclosed in angle brackets.

 - `bigInt(567890).toString(100)` => `"<56><78><90>"`

Negative bases are also supported.

 - `bigInt(12345).toString(-10)` => `"28465"`

Base 1 and base -1 are also supported.

 - `bigInt(-15).toString(1)` => `"-111111111111111"`
 - `bigInt(-15).toString(-1)` => `"101010101010101010101010101010"`

Base 0 is only allowed for the number zero.

 - `bigInt(0).toString(0)` => `0`
 - `bigInt(1).toString(0)` => `Error: Cannot convert nonzero numbers to base 0.`

[View benchmarks for this method](http://peterolson.github.io/BigInteger.js/benchmark/#toString)

#### `valueOf()`

Converts a bigInt to a native Javascript number. This override allows you to use native arithmetic operators without explicit conversion:

 - `bigInt("100") + bigInt("200") === 300; //true`
