Detailed Description

BigInteger is an arbitrary precision signed integer class. It is intended to be used in applications which need relatively small integers, and only supports addition, subtraction and multiplication.

Internally, a BigInteger consists of a sign and an unsigned magnitude. The magnitude is represented by an array of 32 bit digits, stored from least to most significant. All non-zero integers have at least one digit, the most significant of which is non-zero. Zero is defined to have no digits.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BigInteger()

lsst::sphgeom::BigInteger::BigInteger ( uint32_t *  digits, unsigned  capacity  )

inline

This constructor creates a zero-valued integer with the given digit array.

Member Function Documentation

getCapacity()

unsigned lsst::sphgeom::BigInteger::getCapacity ( ) const

inline

getCapacity returns the number of digits in the underlying digit array.

getSign()

int lsst::sphgeom::BigInteger::getSign ( ) const

inline

getSign returns -1, 0 or 1 if this integer is negative, zero or positive.
