| BigDecimal | A wrapper class for java.math.BigDecimal. |
| BigInteger | A wrapper class for java.math.BigInteger. |
Provides classes for performing arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic (BigInteger)
and arbitrary-precision decimal arithmetic (BigDecimal). BigInteger is analogous to
Java's primitive integer types except that it provides arbitrary precision, hence
operations on BigIntegers 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.
