Example Code
use Libraries.Compute.BigInteger
class Main
action main
text value = "2147483648"
BigInteger largeNumber
largeNumber:SetValue(value)
largeNumber = largeNumber:RaiseToPower(2)

largeNumber = largeNumber:And(largeNumber)
Parameters
- Libraries.Compute.BigInteger: The BigInteger to AND with the BigInteger.
Return
Libraries.Compute.BigInteger: Returns the result of AND'ing together the two BigIntegers.
AndNot(Libraries.Compute.BigInteger value)

Example Code
use Libraries.Compute.BigInteger
BigInteger largeNumber
largeNumber:SetValue("3000000000")
largeNumber = largeNumber:AndNot(largeNumber)
Parameters
- Libraries.Compute.BigInteger: The BigInteger that will be complemented and then AND'ed together with the BigInteger.
Return
Libraries.Compute.BigInteger: Returns the result of AND'ing together the complement of the value with the BigInteger.
BitwiseNot()
This action takes a BigInteger and finds the 2's complement of it. The calculation is: x = -x - 1.

Compare(Libraries.Language.Object object)
This action compares two object hash codes and returns an integer. The result is larger if this hash code is larger than the object passed as a parameter, smaller, or equal. In this case, -1 means smaller, 0 means equal, and 1 means larger. This action was changed in Quorum 7 to return an integer, instead of a CompareResult object, because the previous implementation was causing efficiency issues.

BigInteger largeNumber
largeNumber:SetValue("10")
largeNumber = largeNumber:ShiftRight(2)
// Output will be 2
output largeNumber:GetText()
Parameters
- integer positions: The number of positions to shift the BigInteger to the right.
Return
Libraries.Compute.BigInteger: Returns a BigInteger that has been shifted to the right positions number of times.
Subtract(Libraries.Compute.BigInteger value)
This action subtracts the BigInteger value from the BigInteger on which this action was called and returns the result.

output largeNumber:GetText()
Parameters
- Libraries.Compute.BigInteger: The value to subtract from the BigInteger.
Return
Libraries.Compute.BigInteger: Returns the result of the BigInteger minus value as a BigInteger.
ToInteger()
This action takes a BigInteger and converts it into an integer. If the BigInteger is too large to be stored in an integer, it takes the low-order bits (i.e. 102 would return 02 if 102 was too large to fit in a number) and gets rid of all other values. This loss of precision can result in incorrect values, as well as incorrect signs.
Example Code
use Libraries.Compute.BigInteger
BigInteger largeNumber
largeNumber:SetValue("30")
integer value = largeNumber:ToInteger()
Return
integer: Returns the BigInteger value as an integer.
ToNumber()
This action takes a BigInteger and converts it into a number. If the BigInteger is too large to be stored in a number, it takes the low-order bits (i.e. 102 would return 02 if 102 was too large to fit in a number) and gets rid of all other values. This loss of precision can result in incorrect values, as well as incorrect signs.
Example Code
use Libraries.Compute.BigInteger
BigInteger largeNumber
largeNumber:SetValue("24")
number value = largeNumber:ToNumber()
Return
number: Returns the BigInteger value as a number.
