=head1 NAME

Math::BigInt::Lib - virtual parent class for Math::BigInt libraries

=head1 SYNOPSIS

# In the backend library for Math::BigInt et al.

package Math::BigInt::MyBackend;

use Math::BigInt::Lib;
    our @ISA = qw< Math::BigInt::Lib >;

sub _new { ... }
    sub _str { ... }
    sub _add { ... }
    str _sub { ... }
    ...

# In your main program.

use Math::BigInt lib => 'MyBackend';

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides support for big integer calculations. It is not intended
to be used directly, but rather as a parent class for backend libraries used by
Math::BigInt, Math::BigFloat, Math::BigRat, and related modules.

Other backend libraries include Math::BigInt::Calc, Math::BigInt::FastCalc,
Math::BigInt::GMP, and Math::BigInt::Pari.

In order to allow for multiple big integer libraries, Math::BigInt was
rewritten to use a plug-in library for core math routines. Any module which
conforms to the API can be used by Math::BigInt by using this in your program:

use Math::BigInt lib => 'libname';

'libname' is either the long name, like 'Math::BigInt::Pari', or only the short
version, like 'Pari'.

=head2 General Notes

A library only needs to deal with unsigned big integers. Testing of input
parameter validity is done by the caller, so there is no need to worry about
underflow (e.g., in C<_sub()> and C<_dec()>) or about division by zero (e.g.,
in C<_div()> and C<_mod()>)) or similar cases.

Some libraries use methods that don't modify their argument, and some libraries
don't even use objects, but rather unblessed references. Because of this,
liberary methods are always called as class methods, not instance methods:

$x = Class -> method($x, $y);     # like this
    $x = $x -> method($y);            # not like this ...
    $x -> method($y);                 # ... or like this

And with boolean methods

$bool = Class -> method($x, $y);  # like this
    $bool = $x -> method($y);         # not like this

Return values are always objects, strings, Perl scalars, or true/false for
comparison routines.

=head3 API version

=over 4

=item CLASS-E<gt>api_version()

This method is no longer used and can be omitted. Methods that are not
implemented by a subclass will be inherited from this class.

=back

=head3 Constructors

The following methods are mandatory: _new(), _str(), _add(), and _sub().
However, computations will be very slow without _mul() and _div().

=over 4

=item CLASS-E<gt>_new(STR)

Convert a string representing an unsigned decimal number to an object
representing the same number. The input is normalized, i.e., it matches
C<^(0|[1-9]\d*)$>.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_zero()

Return an object representing the number zero.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_one()

Return an object representing the number one.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_two()

Return an object representing the number two.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_ten()

Return an object representing the number ten.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_from_bin(STR)

Return an object given a string representing a binary number. The input has a
'0b' prefix and matches the regular expression C<^0[bB](0|1[01]*)$>.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_from_oct(STR)

Return an object given a string representing an octal number. The input has a
'0' prefix and matches the regular expression C<^0[1-7]*$>.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_from_hex(STR)

Return an object given a string representing a hexadecimal number. The input
has a '0x' prefix and matches the regular expression
C<^0x(0|[1-9a-fA-F][\da-fA-F]*)$>.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_from_bytes(STR)

Returns an object given a byte string representing the number. The byte string
is in big endian byte order, so the two-byte input string "\x01\x00" should
give an output value representing the number 256.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_from_base(STR, BASE, COLLSEQ)

Returns an object given a string STR, a base BASE, and a collation sequence
COLLSEQ. Each character in STR represents a numerical value identical to the
character's position in COLLSEQ. All characters in STR must be present in
COLLSEQ.

If BASE is less than or equal to 94, and a collation sequence is not specified,
the following default collation sequence is used. It contains of all the 94
printable ASCII characters except space/blank:

0123456789                  # ASCII  48 to  57
    ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ  # ASCII  65 to  90
    abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz  # ASCII  97 to 122
    !"#$%&'()*+,-./             # ASCII  33 to  47
    :;<=>?@                     # ASCII  58 to  64
    [\]^_`                      # ASCII  91 to  96
    {|}~                        # ASCII 123 to 126

If the default collation sequence is used, and the BASE is less than or equal
to 36, the letter case in STR is ignored.

For instance, with base 3 and collation sequence "-/|", the character "-"
represents 0, "/" represents 1, and "|" represents 2. So if STR is "/|-", the
output is 1 * 3**2 + 2 * 3**1 + 0 * 3**0 = 15.

The following examples show standard binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal
conversion. All examples return 250.

$x = $class -> _from_base("11111010", 2)
    $x = $class -> _from_base("372", 8)
    $x = $class -> _from_base("250", 10)
    $x = $class -> _from_base("FA", 16)

Some more examples, all returning 250:

$x = $class -> _from_base("100021", 3)
    $x = $class -> _from_base("3322", 4)
    $x = $class -> _from_base("2000", 5)
    $x = $class -> _from_base("caaa", 5, "abcde")
    $x = $class -> _from_base("42", 62)
    $x = $class -> _from_base("2!", 94)

=item CLASS-E<gt>_from_base_num(ARRAY, BASE)

Returns an 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 = $class -> _from_base_num([1, 1, 0, 1], 2)    # $x is 13
    $x = $class -> _from_base_num([3, 125, 39], 128)  # $x is 65191

=back

=head3 Mathematical functions

=over 4

=item CLASS-E<gt>_add(OBJ1, OBJ2)

Addition. Returns the result of adding OBJ2 to OBJ1.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_mul(OBJ1, OBJ2)

Multiplication. Returns the result of multiplying OBJ2 and OBJ1.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_div(OBJ1, OBJ2)

Division. In scalar context, returns the quotient after dividing OBJ1 by OBJ2
and truncating the result to an integer. In list context, return the quotient
and the remainder.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_sub(OBJ1, OBJ2, FLAG)

=item CLASS-E<gt>_sub(OBJ1, OBJ2)

Subtraction. Returns the result of subtracting OBJ2 by OBJ1. If C<flag> is false
or omitted, OBJ1 might be modified. If C<flag> is true, OBJ2 might be modified.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_sadd(OBJ1, SIGN1, OBJ2, SIGN2)

Signed addition. Returns the result of adding OBJ2 with sign SIGN2 to OBJ1 with
sign SIGN1.

($obj3, $sign3) = $class -> _sadd($obj1, $sign1, $obj2, $sign2);

=item CLASS-E<gt>_ssub(OBJ1, SIGN1, OBJ2, SIGN2)

Signed subtraction. Returns the result of subtracting OBJ2 with sign SIGN2 to
OBJ1 with sign SIGN1.

($obj3, $sign3) = $class -> _sadd($obj1, $sign1, $obj2, $sign2);

=item CLASS-E<gt>_dec(OBJ)

Returns the result after decrementing OBJ by one.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_inc(OBJ)

Returns the result after incrementing OBJ by one.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_mod(OBJ1, OBJ2)

Returns OBJ1 modulo OBJ2, i.e., the remainder after dividing OBJ1 by OBJ2.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_sqrt(OBJ)

Returns the square root of OBJ, truncated to an integer.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_root(OBJ, N)

Returns the Nth root of OBJ, truncated to an integer.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_fac(OBJ)

Returns the factorial of OBJ, i.e., the product of all positive integers up to
and including OBJ.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_dfac(OBJ)

Returns the double factorial of OBJ. If OBJ is an even integer, returns the
product of all positive, even integers up to and including OBJ, i.e.,
2*4*6*...*OBJ. If OBJ is an odd integer, returns the product of all positive,
odd integers, i.e., 1*3*5*...*OBJ.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_pow(OBJ1, OBJ2)

Returns OBJ1 raised to the power of OBJ2. By convention, 0**0 = 1.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_modinv(OBJ1, OBJ2)

Returns the modular multiplicative inverse, i.e., return OBJ3 so that

(OBJ3 * OBJ1) % OBJ2 = 1 % OBJ2

The result is returned as two arguments. If the modular multiplicative inverse
does not exist, both arguments are undefined. Otherwise, the arguments are a
number (object) and its sign ("+" or "-").

The output value, with its sign, must either be a positive value in the range
1,2,...,OBJ2-1 or the same value subtracted OBJ2. For instance, if the input
arguments are objects representing the numbers 7 and 5, the method must either
return an object representing the number 3 and a "+" sign, since (3*7) % 5 = 1
% 5, or an object representing the number 2 and a "-" sign, since (-2*7) % 5 = 1
% 5.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_modpow(OBJ1, OBJ2, OBJ3)

Returns the modular exponentiation, i.e., (OBJ1 ** OBJ2) % OBJ3.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_rsft(OBJ, N, B)

Returns the result after shifting OBJ N digits to thee right in base B. This is
equivalent to performing integer division by B**N and discarding the remainder,
except that it might be much faster.

For instance, if the object $obj represents the hexadecimal number 0xabcde,
then C<_rsft($obj, 2, 16)> returns an object representing the number 0xabc. The
"remainer", 0xde, is discarded and not returned.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_lsft(OBJ, N, B)

Returns the result after shifting OBJ N digits to the left in base B. This is
equivalent to multiplying by B**N, except that it might be much faster.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_log_int(OBJ, B)

Returns the logarithm of OBJ to base BASE truncted to an integer. This method
has two output arguments, the OBJECT and a STATUS. The STATUS is Perl scalar;
it is 1 if OBJ is the exact result, 0 if the result was truncted to give OBJ,
and undef if it is unknown whether OBJ is the exact result.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_gcd(OBJ1, OBJ2)

Returns the greatest common divisor of OBJ1 and OBJ2.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_lcm(OBJ1, OBJ2)

Return the least common multiple of OBJ1 and OBJ2.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_fib(OBJ)

In scalar context, returns the nth Fibonacci number: _fib(0) returns 0, _fib(1)
returns 1, _fib(2) returns 1, _fib(3) returns 2 etc. In list context, returns
the Fibonacci numbers from F(0) to F(n): 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...

=item CLASS-E<gt>_lucas(OBJ)

In scalar context, returns the nth Lucas number: _lucas(0) returns 2, _lucas(1)
returns 1, _lucas(2) returns 3, etc. In list context, returns the Lucas numbers
from L(0) to L(n): 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29,47, 76, ...

=back

=head3 Bitwise operators

=over 4

=item CLASS-E<gt>_and(OBJ1, OBJ2)

Returns bitwise and.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_or(OBJ1, OBJ2)

Returns bitwise or.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_xor(OBJ1, OBJ2)

Returns bitwise exclusive or.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_is_two(OBJ)

Returns a true value if OBJ is two, and false value otherwise.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_is_ten(OBJ)

Returns a true value if OBJ is ten, and false value otherwise.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_is_even(OBJ)

Return a true value if OBJ is an even integer, and a false value otherwise.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_is_odd(OBJ)

Return a true value if OBJ is an even integer, and a false value otherwise.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_acmp(OBJ1, OBJ2)

Compare OBJ1 and OBJ2 and return -1, 0, or 1, if OBJ1 is numerically less than,
equal to, or larger than OBJ2, respectively.

=head3 String conversion

=over 4

=item CLASS-E<gt>_str(OBJ)

Returns a string representing OBJ in decimal notation. The returned string
should have no leading zeros, i.e., it should match C<^(0|[1-9]\d*)$>.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_to_bin(OBJ)

Returns the binary string representation of OBJ.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_to_oct(OBJ)

Returns the octal string representation of the number.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_to_hex(OBJ)

Returns the hexadecimal string representation of the number.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_to_bytes(OBJ)

Returns a byte string representation of OBJ. The byte string is in big endian
byte order, so if OBJ represents the number 256, the output should be the
two-byte string "\x01\x00".

=item CLASS-E<gt>_to_base(OBJ, BASE, COLLSEQ)

Returns a string representation of OBJ in base BASE with collation sequence
COLLSEQ.

$val = $class -> _new("210");
    $str = $class -> _to_base($val, 10, "xyz")  # $str is "zyx"

$val = $class -> _new("32");
    $str = $class -> _to_base($val, 2, "-|")  # $str is "|-----"

See _from_base() for more information.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_to_base_num(OBJ, BASE)

Converts the given number to the given base. This method is equivalent to
C<_to_base()>, but returns numbers in an array rather than characters in a
string. In the output, the first element is the most significant. Unlike
C<_to_base()>, all input values may be arbitrarily large.

$x = $class -> _to_base_num(13, 2)        # $x is [1, 1, 0, 1]
    $x = $class -> _to_base_num(65191, 128)   # $x is [3, 125, 39]

=item CLASS-E<gt>_as_bin(OBJ)

Like C<_to_bin()> but with a '0b' prefix.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_as_oct(OBJ)

Like C<_to_oct()> but with a '0' prefix.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_as_hex(OBJ)

Like C<_to_hex()> but with a '0x' prefix.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_as_bytes(OBJ)

This is an alias to C<_to_bytes()>.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_num(OBJ)

Returns a Perl scalar number representing the number OBJ as close as
possible. Since Perl scalars have limited precision, the returned value might
not be exactly the same as OBJ.

=head3 Miscellaneous

=over 4

=item CLASS-E<gt>_copy(OBJ)

Returns a true copy OBJ.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_len(OBJ)

Returns the number of the decimal digits in OBJ. The output is a Perl scalar.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_zeros(OBJ)

Returns the number of trailing decimal zeros. The output is a Perl scalar. The
number zero has no trailing decimal zeros.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_digit(OBJ, N)

Returns the Nth digit in OBJ as a Perl scalar. N is a Perl scalar, where zero
refers to the rightmost (least significant) digit, and negative values count
from the left (most significant digit). If $obj represents the number 123, then

CLASS->_digit($obj,  0)     # returns 3
    CLASS->_digit($obj,  1)     # returns 2
    CLASS->_digit($obj,  2)     # returns 1
    CLASS->_digit($obj, -1)     # returns 1

=item CLASS-E<gt>_digitsum(OBJ)

Returns the sum of the base 10 digits.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_check(OBJ)

Returns true if the object is invalid and false otherwise. Preferably, the true
value is a string describing the problem with the object. This is a check
routine to test the internal state of the object for corruption.

=item CLASS-E<gt>_set(OBJ)

=head1 WRAP YOUR OWN

If you want to port your own favourite C library for big numbers to the
Math::BigInt interface, you can take any of the already existing modules as a
rough guideline. You should really wrap up the latest Math::BigInt and
Math::BigFloat testsuites with your module, and replace in them any of the
following:

use Math::BigInt;

by this:

use Math::BigInt lib => 'yourlib';

This way you ensure that your library really works 100% within Math::BigInt.

=head1 BUGS

Please report any bugs or feature requests to
C<bug-math-bigint at rt.cpan.org>, or through the web interface at
L<https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Create.html?Queue=Math-BigInt>
(requires login).
We will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on
your bug as I make changes.
