**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

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

Returns `true` if the number is very likely to be prime, `false` otherwise.
Argument is optional and determines the amount 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.
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`.

### Static Methods

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

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

### 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`
