Arbitrary-Precision Math
|
|
The java.math package supports arbitrary-precision math.
The package consists of two classes:
- BigInteger numbers are immutable,
arbitrary-precision integers. The BigInteger class
provides analogs for all Java language primitive integer operators.
The class also supports modular arithmetic, GCD calculation, prime
number generation and testing, single-bit manipulation, and various
other operations.
- BigDecimal numbers are immutable,
arbitrary-precision signed decimal numbers, suitable for monetary
calculations. The BigDecimal class provides operations
for basic arithmetic, scale manipulation, comparison, format
conversion, and hashing.
