Bignum

The class for long integers, limited only by memory size. Bignums converted into fixnums automatically if the value fits in, or vise versa. For the purpose of shift and mask operations, a binary representation is assumed, and negative numbers are represented in a 2's complement, which gives the illusion of an infinite string of sign bits extending to the left. Mixed calculation of Floats and Bignums, sometimes makes an error.

SuperClass

Integer

Methods:

self + other
self - other
self * other
self / other
self % other
self ** other

Arithmetic operators. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, remainder, power, respectively.

~ self
self | other
self & other
self ^ other

Bit manipulations. Bit reverse, bit or, bit and, bit xor, respectively.

self << bits
self >> bits

Shift operators, shift bits-bit to left and right, respectively.

divmod(other)

Returns an array contains the division and the modulo.
