An arbitrarily-large integer.
BigInteger objects should be considered immutable. None of the “built-in” methods modify this or their arguments. All properties should be considered private.
All the methods of BigInteger instances can be called “statically”. The static versions are convenient if you don’t already have a BigInteger object.
As an example, these calls are equivalent.
BigInteger(4).multiply(5); // returns BigIngeger(20);`
BigInteger.multiply(4, 5); // returns BigInteger(20);
var a = 42;
var a = BigInteger.toJSValue("0b101010"); // Not completely useless...

function BigInteger(n, s)
Convert a value to a BigInteger.
Although BigInteger() is the constructor for BigInteger objects, it is best not to call it as a constructor. If n is a BigInteger object, it is simply returned as-is. Otherwise, BigInteger() is equivalent to parse without a radix argument.
var n0 = BigInteger(); // Same as <BigInteger.ZERO>
var n1 = BigInteger("123"); // Create a new <BigInteger> with value 123
var n2 = BigInteger(123); // Create a new <BigInteger> with value 123
var n3 = BigInteger(n2); // Return n2, unchanged
The constructor form only takes an array and a sign. n must be an array of numbers in little-endian order, where each digit is between 0 and 9 inclusive. A second parameter sets the sign: -1 for negative, +1 for positive, or 0 for zero. The array is not copied and may be modified. If the array contains only zeros, the sign parameter is ignored and is forced to zero.
new BigInteger([3,2,1], -1): create a new BigInteger with value -123
n
Value to convert to a BigInteger.
A BigInteger value.
BigInteger 0.
BigInteger 1.
BigInteger -1.
Shortcut for ZERO.
Shortcut for ONE.
Array of BigIntegers from 0 to 36.
These are used internally for parsing, but useful when you need a “small” BigInteger.
BigInteger.prototype.toString = function(base)
Convert a BigInteger to a string.
When base is greater than 10, letters are upper case.
base
Optional base to represent the number in (default is base 10). Must be between 2 and 36 inclusive, or an Error will be thrown.
The string representation of the BigInteger.
BigInteger.parse = function(s, base)
Parse a string into a BigInteger.
base is optional but, if provided, must be from 2 to 36 inclusive. If base is not provided, it will be guessed based on the leading characters of s as follows:
If no base is provided, or base is 10, the number can be in exponential form. For example, these are all valid:
BigInteger.parse("1e9"); // Same as "1000000000"
BigInteger.parse("1.234*10^3"); // Same as 1234
BigInteger.parse("56789 * 10 ** -2"); // Same as 567
If any characters fall outside the range defined by the radix, an exception will be thrown.
s
The string to parse.
base
Optional radix (default is to guess based on s).

BigInteger.prototype.compareAbs = function(n)

A two-element array containing the quotient and the remainder.
a.divRem(b)
is exactly equivalent to
[a.divide(b), a.remainder(b)]

} else { // n
return this.divide(BigInteger("1e" + -n));
}
n The power of 10 to multiply this by. n is converted to a javascipt number and must be no greater than BigInteger.MAX_EXP (0x7FFFFFFF), or an exception will be thrown.
