# bigint
C++ Library for representing large numbers and computing on them
To use, include bigint.h in your source file and make bigint.cpp (which contains all the implementations) available for linking.
The class makes use of a vector container to store the digits of the number, thus the largest number that can be stored is limited only by the number of elements a vector can hold, which is typically 1073741823 digits on most system implementations.
The C++ arithmetic, relational, increment/decrement, bitwise and assignment operators have been overloaded for this class. Also, some C++ standard library functions like abs() and to_string() have also been overloaded for this class.
This project was intended to acquaint myself with basic object-oriented programming and operator overloading in C++.
Issues:
- factorial function sometimes gives the factorial of the number 1 less than the number passed as argument. (Eg. factorial(34) sometimes gives the correct factorial of 34, other times it gives factorial of 33.) Cause of this bug is unknown.
- Division of bigint by bigint isn't fully supported. As of now, bigints can only be divided by numbers small enough to be expressible as long long int.
Tested in g++ 5.4.0.
