Introduction The java.math.BigInteger class provides operations analogues to all of Java’s primitive integer operators and for all relevant methods from java.lang.Math. It also provides operations for modular arithmetic, GCD calculation, primality testing, prime generation, bit manipulation, and a few other miscellaneous operations. All operations behave as if BigIntegers were represented in two’s-complement notation. Semantics of arithmetic operations…

Introduction The java.math.BigDecimal class provides operations for arithmetic, scale manipulation, rounding, comparison, hashing, and format conversion. The toString() method provides a canonical representation of a BigDecimal. It gives the user complete control over rounding behavior. Two types of operations are provided for manipulating the scale of a BigDecimal − This class and its iterator implement all of…
