Bigq_operators: Basic arithmetic operators for large rationals

Description

Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and absolute value for large rationals, i.e. "bigq" class R objects.

Usage

add.bigq(e1, e2)
# S3 method for bigq
+(e1, e2)

sub.bigq(e1, e2=NULL) # S3 method for bigq -(e1, e2)

mul.bigq(e1, e2) # S3 method for bigq *(e1, e2)

div.bigq(e1, e2) # S3 method for bigq /(e1, e2)

# S3 method for bigq ^(e1, e2)

# S3 method for bigq abs(x)

Value

A bigq class representing the result of the arithmetic operation.

Arguments

e1,e2, x

of class "bigq", or (e1 and e2) integer or string from an integer

Author

Immanuel Scholz and Antoine Lucas

Details

Operators can be use directly when the objects are of class "bigq": a + b, a * b, etc, and a ^ n, where n must be coercable to a biginteger ("bigz").

Examples

Run this code
## 1/3 + 1 = 4/3 :
as.bigq(1,3) + 1

r <- as.bigq(12, 47)
stopifnot(r ^ 3 == r*r*r)
