arbi

arbi implements an Arbitrary Precision Integer type: Arbi.

This crate has:

  • No dependencies.

    Empty dependencies section in Cargo.toml.

  • no_std support.

    This crate is no_std and utilizes the alloc crate for dynamic memory allocation.

Usage

Construct an Arbi integer

The following are all equivalent and return an Arbi object representing the integer 0 (no memory allocation occurs):

use arbi::Arbi;

let a = Arbi::new();
let b = Arbi::default();
let c = Arbi::zero();

assert_eq!(a, 0);
assert_eq!(a, b);
assert_eq!(b, c);

Construct an Arbi integer from any primitive integer type value, any f64 (except for infinities and NaNs), or any string containing a base-base representation of an integer, where base must be in [2, 36].

use arbi::{base::DEC, Arbi};

// From any primitive integer type
let a = Arbi::from(u128::MAX);
assert_eq!(a, u128::MAX);

// From any f64 (except for infinities and NaNs)
let b = Arbi::from(f64::MAX);
assert_eq!(b, f64::MAX);

// From a string
let c = Arbi::from_str_radix("123456789", 10).unwrap();
let d = Arbi::from_str_base("123456789", DEC).unwrap();
assert_eq!(c, 123456789);
assert_eq!(c, d);

use core::str::FromStr;

// Currently, FromStr assumes base 10.
let e = Arbi::from_str("-987654321").unwrap();
assert_eq!(e, -987654321);
let f = "123456789".parse::<Arbi>().unwrap();
assert_eq!(f, 123456789);

Use Arbi::with_capacity_bits() or Arbi::with_capacity() to construct an integer representing zero with at least a specified capacity:

use arbi::{Arbi, Assign};

let mut a = Arbi::with_capacity_bits(128);
let initial_capacity = a.capacity_bits();

assert_eq!(a, 0);
assert!(initial_capacity >= 128);

a.assign(u128::MAX);

assert_eq!(a.capacity_bits(), initial_capacity); // no memory allocation needed
assert_eq!(a, u128::MAX);

Assign to an Arbi integer

Assign to an Arbi any primitive integer type value, a floating-point value, a string, or another Arbi integer.

The main benefit of assigning is that if there is already enough capacity, memory allocation need not occur. In contrast, from methods typically involve memory allocation.

use arbi::{Arbi, Assign};

let mut a = Arbi::with_capacity(10);
let mut capacity = a.capacity();

// From integer
a.assign(u128::MAX);
assert_eq!(a, u128::MAX);
assert_eq!(a.capacity(), capacity); // no memory allocation occurred

// From float
a.assign(f64::MAX);
assert_eq!(a, f64::MAX);
assert!(a.capacity() > capacity); // memory allocation occured because we needed
                                  // more capacity to represent the value
capacity = a.capacity();

// From string (no need for the Assign trait)
if let Err(e) = a.assign_str_radix("123456789", 10) {
    panic!("Parsing error: {}", e);
}
assert_eq!(a, 123456789);
assert_eq!(a.capacity(), capacity); // no memory allocation occurred

// From another Arbi integer
let b = Arbi::from(987654321);
a.assign(&b);
assert_eq!(a.capacity(), capacity); // no memory allocation occurred

Comparisons

Compare an Arbi to another Arbi, a primitive integer type value, or a floating-point value.

All equality and comparison operators are supported ==, !=, <, <=, >, >=.

Comparisons with floating-point values are designed to be consistent with IEEE 754. SeePartialOrd<f64> for Arbi for a description of the semantics of comparing an Arbi to a floating-point value.

use arbi::{Arbi, Assign};

let mut a;

// Float
a = Arbi::from(1);
a <<= 2000_usize;

assert_ne!(a, f64::MAX);
assert!(a < f64::INFINITY);
assert!(a > f64::MAX);

// Integer
a.assign(u64::MAX);
assert_eq!(a, u64::MAX);
assert!(u128::MAX > a);
assert!(a > u32::MAX);

// Arbi
let b = Arbi::from(1);
assert!(a > b);
assert!(b < a);

To and From a String

In what follows, base must be an integer in [2, 36]. Moreover, the *_radix() and *_base() string-related functions are equivalent, except that *_radix() functions panic on an invalid base and *_base() functions cannot panic due to an invalid base.

Convert any Arbi integer to a String containing the base-base representation of the integer.

Convert any string containing the base-base representation of an integer to an Arbi.

Assign any string containing the base-base representation of an integer to an Arbi.

use arbi::{base::OCT, Arbi};
use core::str::FromStr; // needed for from_str() alone

let mut a = Arbi::from(u128::MAX);

// To string
assert_eq!(a.to_string(), u128::MAX.to_string()); // assumes base-10
assert_eq!(a.to_string_radix(16), "ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff");
assert_eq!(
    a.to_string_base(OCT),
    "3777777777777777777777777777777777777777777"
);

// From string
assert_eq!(
    Arbi::from_str("340282366920938463463374607431768211455").unwrap(),
    u128::MAX
); // assumes base-10
assert_eq!(
    Arbi::from_str_radix("ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff", 16).unwrap(),
    u128::MAX
);
assert_eq!(
    Arbi::from_str_base("3777777777777777777777777777777777777777777", OCT)
        .unwrap(),
    u128::MAX
);

// Assign string
a.assign_str_radix("573c0ff2cce44d2025e04db43", 16);
assert_eq!(a, 0x573c0ff2cce44d2025e04db43_u128);

a.assign_str_base("1772555052337322416757226463207030", OCT);
assert_eq!(a, 0o1772555052337322416757226463207030_u128);

Arithmetic

All standard arithmetic operations are implemented:

  • Binary operators: +, -, *, /, %, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=
  • Unary operators: -.

Bitwise Operations

All standard bitwise operations are implemented. These operators perform bitwise operations on integers using two's complement representation (with sign extension).

  • Shift operators: <<, >>, <<=, >>=.
  • Bitwise complement: !.
  • Bitwise AND, OR, and XOR: &, |, ^, &=, |=, ^=.

Test or set a bit at a specified index (zero-based) on the absolute value of an Arbi integer:

Obtain the number of bits needed to represent the absolute value of an Arbi integer using Arbi::bit_length():

use arbi::Arbi;

let mut a = Arbi::zero();
assert_eq!(a.bit_length(), 0);

a.incr(); // 1
assert_eq!(a.bit_length(), 1);
a.incr(); // 10
assert_eq!(a.bit_length(), 2);
a.incr(); // 11
assert_eq!(a.bit_length(), 2);

To Built-In Integer

In what follows, let * denote any primitive integer type name: i8, i16, i32, i64, i128, isize, u8, u16, u32, u64, u128, usize.

Methods

  • to_*(): convert this Arbi integer to a primitive integer type value. This is “wrapping”.

    See Arbi::to_i32().

  • to_*_checked(): try to convert this Arbi integer to a primitive integer type value. If this Arbi integer does not fit in the target primitive integer type, returns None.

    See Arbi::to_i32_checked().

  • fits_*(): test if this Arbi integer fits in a primitive integer type. The Fits trait can also be used to do the same thing.

    See Arbi::fits_i32() and also the Fits trait.

To Floating-Point Value

Convert an Arbi integer to a floating-point value using the Arbi::to_f64() method:

use arbi::{Arbi, Pow};

let a = Arbi::from(-987654321);
assert_eq!(a.to_f64(), -987654321.0);

let b = Arbi::from(1_u64 << 32);
assert_ne!((&b).pow(31_usize).to_f64(), f64::INFINITY);
assert_eq!((&b).pow(32_usize).to_f64(), f64::INFINITY);

Increment/Decrement

Increment or decrement an Arbi integer in-place by one using the Arbi::incr() and Arbi::decr() methods (+= and -= can also be used).

use arbi::Arbi;

let mut a = Arbi::zero();

a.incr();
assert_eq!(a, 1);

a.decr();
assert_eq!(a, 0);

a.decr();
assert_eq!(a, -1);

Exponentiation

Raise an Arbi integer to the power of a usize, u128, or another Arbi integer using the Pow trait.

use arbi::{Arbi, Pow};

let mut a = Arbi::from(2);
a = a.pow(128_usize);
assert_eq!(
    a,
    Arbi::from_str_radix("100000000000000000000000000000000", 16).unwrap()
);

Display

The core::fmt::Display implementation uses the base-10 representation of the Arbi integer and by extension, so does Arbi::to_string().

use arbi::Arbi;

let a = Arbi::from(12345);
assert_eq!(format!("{}", a), "12345");
assert_eq!(a.to_string(), "12345");
