BigInteger
) and arbitrary-precision decimal
arithmetic (BigDecimal
). BigInteger
is analogous
to the primitive integer types except that it provides arbitrary
precision, hence operations on BigInteger
s do not overflow
or lose precision. In addition to standard arithmetic operations,
BigInteger
provides modular arithmetic, GCD calculation,
primality testing, prime generation, bit manipulation, and a few
other miscellaneous operations.
BigDecimal
provides arbitrary-precision signed decimal
numbers suitable for currency calculations and the like. BigDecimal
gives the user complete control over rounding behavior,
allowing the user to choose from a comprehensive set of eight
rounding modes. Submit a bug or feature
