Immutable arbitrary-precision integers. All operations behave as if BigIntegers were represented in two's-complement notation (like Java's primitive integer types). BigInteger provides analogues to all of Java's primitive integer operators, and all relevant methods from java.lang.Math. Additionally, BigInteger provides operations for modular arithmetic, GCD calculation, primality testing, prime generation, bit manipulation, and a few other miscellaneous operations.
Semantics of arithmetic operations exactly mimic those of Java's integer arithmetic operators, as defined in The Java Language Specification. For example, division by zero throws an ArithmeticException, and division of a negative by a positive yields a negative (or zero) remainder. All of the details in the Spec concerning overflow are ignored, as BigIntegers are made as large as necessary to accommodate the results of an operation.
Semantics of shift operations extend those of Java's shift operators to allow for negative shift distances. A right-shift with a negative shift distance results in a left shift, and vice-versa. The unsigned right shift operator (>>>) is omitted, as this operation makes little sense in combination with the "infinite word size" abstraction provided by this class.
Semantics of bitwise logical operations exactly mimic those of Java's bitwise integer operators. The binary operators (and, or, xor) implicitly perform sign extension on the shorter of the two operands prior to performing the operation.
Comparison operations perform signed integer comparisons, analogous to those performed by Java's relational and equality operators.
Modular arithmetic operations are provided to compute residues, perform exponentiation, and compute multiplicative inverses. These methods always return a non-negative result, between 0 and (modulus - 1), inclusive.
Bit operations operate on a single bit of the two's-complement representation of their operand. If necessary, the operand is sign- extended so that it contains the designated bit. None of the single-bit operations can produce a BigInteger with a different sign from the BigInteger being operated on, as they affect only a single bit, and the "infinite word size" abstraction provided by this class ensures that there are infinitely many "virtual sign bits" preceding each BigInteger.
For the sake of brevity and clarity, pseudo-code is used throughout the descriptions of BigInteger methods. The pseudo-code expression (i + j) is shorthand for "a BigInteger whose value is that of the BigInteger i plus that of the BigInteger j." The pseudo-code expression (i == j) is shorthand for "true if and only if the BigInteger i represents the same value as the BigInteger j." Other pseudo-code expressions are interpreted similarly.
All methods and constructors in this class throw NullPointerException when passed a null object reference for any input parameter.

```
public BigInteger(byte[] val)
```
    Translates a byte array containing the two's-complement binary representation of a BigInteger into a BigInteger. The input array is assumed to be in big-endian byte-order: the most significant byte is in the zeroth element.
    
    Parameters:
    val - big-endian two's-complement binary representation of BigInteger.
    
    Throws:
    
    NumberFormatException - val is zero bytes long.
  - BigInteger
```
public BigInteger(int signum,
          byte[] magnitude)
```
    Translates the sign-magnitude representation of a BigInteger into a BigInteger. The sign is represented as an integer signum value: -1 for negative, 0 for zero, or 1 for positive. The magnitude is a byte array in big-endian byte-order: the most significant byte is in the zeroth element. A zero-length magnitude array is permissible, and will result in a BigInteger value of 0, whether signum is -1, 0 or 1.
    
    Parameters:
    signum - signum of the number (-1 for negative, 0 for zero, 1 for positive).
    magnitude - big-endian binary representation of the magnitude of the number.
    
    Throws:
    
    NumberFormatException - signum is not one of the three legal values (-1, 0, and 1), or signum is 0 and magnitude contains one or more non-zero bytes.
  - BigInteger
```
public BigInteger(String val,
          int radix)
```
    Translates the String representation of a BigInteger in the specified radix into a BigInteger. The String representation consists of an optional minus or plus sign followed by a sequence of one or more digits in the specified radix. The character-to-digit mapping is provided by Character.digit. The String may not contain any extraneous characters (whitespace, for example).
    
    Parameters:
    val - String representation of BigInteger.
    radix - radix to be used in interpreting val.
    
    Throws:

public BigInteger(int numBits,
          Random rnd)
```
    Constructs a randomly generated BigInteger, uniformly distributed over the range 0 to (2^numBits - 1), inclusive. The uniformity of the distribution assumes that a fair source of random bits is provided in rnd. Note that this constructor always constructs a non-negative BigInteger.
    
    Parameters:
    numBits - maximum bitLength of the new BigInteger.
    rnd - source of randomness to be used in computing the new BigInteger.
    
    Throws:

          int certainty,
          Random rnd)
```
    Constructs a randomly generated positive BigInteger that is probably prime, with the specified bitLength.
    It is recommended that the probablePrime method be used in preference to this constructor unless there is a compelling need to specify a certainty.
    
    Parameters:
    bitLength - bitLength of the returned BigInteger.
    certainty - a measure of the uncertainty that the caller is willing to tolerate. The probability that the new BigInteger represents a prime number will exceed (1 - 1/2^certainty). The execution time of this constructor is proportional to the value of this parameter.
    rnd - source of random bits used to select candidates to be tested for primality.
    
    Throws:
    
    ArithmeticException - bitLength < 2.

```
public BigInteger nextProbablePrime()
```
    Returns the first integer greater than this BigInteger that is probably prime. The probability that the number returned by this method is composite does not exceed 2^-100. This method will never skip over a prime when searching: if it returns p, there is no prime q such that this < q < p.
    
    Returns:
    the first integer greater than this BigInteger that is probably prime.
    
    Throws:

    the BigInteger whose value is the greater of this and val. If they are equal, either may be returned.
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Returns the hash code for this BigInteger.
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
    
    Returns:
    hash code for this BigInteger.
    See Also:
    Object.equals(java.lang.Object), System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)
  - toString
```
public String toString(int radix)
```
    Returns the String representation of this BigInteger in the given radix. If the radix is outside the range from Character.MIN_RADIX to Character.MAX_RADIX inclusive, it will default to 10 (as is the case for Integer.toString). The digit-to-character mapping provided by Character.forDigit is used, and a minus sign is prepended if appropriate. (This representation is compatible with the (String, int) constructor.)
    
    Parameters:
    radix - radix of the String representation.
    
    Returns:
    String representation of this BigInteger in the given radix.
    See Also:
    Integer.toString(int, int), Character.forDigit(int, int), BigInteger(java.lang.String, int)
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns the decimal String representation of this BigInteger. The digit-to-character mapping provided by Character.forDigit is used, and a minus sign is prepended if appropriate. (This representation is compatible with the (String) constructor, and allows for String concatenation with Java's + operator.)
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    decimal String representation of this BigInteger.
    See Also:
    Character.forDigit(int, int), BigInteger(java.lang.String)
  - toByteArray
```
public byte[] toByteArray()
```
    Returns a byte array containing the two's-complement representation of this BigInteger. The byte array will be in big-endian byte-order: the most significant byte is in the zeroth element. The array will contain the minimum number of bytes required to represent this BigInteger, including at least one sign bit, which is (ceil((this.bitLength() + 1)/8)). (This representation is compatible with the (byte[]) constructor.)
    
    Returns:
    a byte array containing the two's-complement representation of this BigInteger.
    See Also:
    BigInteger(byte[])
  - intValue
```
public int intValue()
```
    Converts this BigInteger to an int. This conversion is analogous to a narrowing primitive conversion from long to int as defined in section 5.1.3 of The Java™ Language Specification: if this BigInteger is too big to fit in an int, only the low-order 32 bits are returned. Note that this conversion can lose information about the overall magnitude of the BigInteger value as well as return a result with the opposite sign.
    
    Specified by:
    
    intValue in class Number
    
    Returns:
    this BigInteger converted to an int.
  - longValue
```
public long longValue()
```
    Converts this BigInteger to a long. This conversion is analogous to a narrowing primitive conversion from long to int as defined in section 5.1.3 of The Java™ Language Specification: if this BigInteger is too big to fit in a long, only the low-order 64 bits are returned. Note that this conversion can lose information about the overall magnitude of the BigInteger value as well as return a result with the opposite sign.
    
    Specified by:
    
    longValue in class Number
    
    Returns:
    this BigInteger converted to a long.
  - floatValue
```
public float floatValue()
```
    Converts this BigInteger to a float. This conversion is similar to the narrowing primitive conversion from double to float as defined in section 5.1.3 of The Java™ Language Specification: if this BigInteger has too great a magnitude to represent as a float, it will be converted to Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY or Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY as appropriate. Note that even when the return value is finite, this conversion can lose information about the precision of the BigInteger value.
    
    Specified by:
    
    floatValue in class Number
    
    Returns:
    this BigInteger converted to a float.
  - doubleValue
```
public double doubleValue()
```
    Converts this BigInteger to a double. This conversion is similar to the narrowing primitive conversion from double to float as defined in section 5.1.3 of The Java™ Language Specification: if this BigInteger has too great a magnitude to represent as a double, it will be converted to Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY or Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY as appropriate. Note that even when the return value is finite, this conversion can lose information about the precision of the BigInteger value.
    
    Specified by:
    
    doubleValue in class Number
    
    Returns:
    this BigInteger converted to a double.
