jsbn: javascript big number
I felt compelled to put this on github and publish to npm. I haven't tested every other big integer library out there, but the few that I have tested in comparison to this one have not even come close in performance. I am aware of the bi
module on npm, however it has been modified and I wanted to publish the original without modifications. This is jsbn and jsbn2 from Tom Wu's original website above, with the module pattern applied to prevent global leaks and to allow for use with node.js on the server side.
Usage
var BigInteger = require('jsbn').BigInteger;
var bi = new BigInteger('91823918239182398123');
console.log(bi.bitLength()); // 67
API
bi.toString([radix]) => string
Returns a string representing the BigInteger bi
.
radix
- Optional. An integer between 2 and 36 specifying the base to use for representing numeric values.
If the radix
is not specified, the preferred radix
is assumed to be 10.
bi.negate() => BigInteger
Returns a new BigInteger
equal to the negation of bi
.
bi.abs() => BigInteger
Returns a BigInteger
equal to the absolute value of bi
.
note: if the bi
is a positive value, it will be returned as is, otherwise a new instance of BigInteger
is returned.
bi.compareTo(other) => number
Compare to BigInteger
s. The return value will be a negative JavaScript number if bi
is less than other
, a positive number if bi
is greater than other
, and 0
if bi
and other
represents the same integer.
bi.bitLength() => number
Returns the number of bits used to store bi
as a JavaScript number.
bi.mod(m) => BigInteger
Returns a BigInteger
with the value of (bi
mod m
).
bi.modPow(exponent, m) => BitInteger
Returns a BigInteger
with the value of (bi
exponent
mod m
).
