BigIntegerCPP

BigIntegerCPP is a C++11 port of large integer library used in CryptoLib4Pascal. It allows mostly parsing of numbers as strings in different bases (2, 8, 10 & 16) and converting them back to string, also in different base as stated above. The advantages of this library is its simplistic nature and cleanliness of code.

Code Example

Here is a sample of code which uses BigIntergerCPP to calc 2^20.

#include <iostream>
#include "Base/BigInteger.h"

using namespae std;

int main()
{
    BigInteger::Boot();
    
    BigInteger two("2");
    BigInteger result = two.Pow(20);
    cout << result.ToString(2) << endl; // output string in Base 2

    return 0;
} // end main

Tested Enviroments:

Visual Studio 2015.

Unittests:

You can find all the unit tests in the Unittest folder. To run the unit tests, you should have boost library installed in your workstation.

Special Note:

You may have noticed that this library needs to Boot firstly before you can begin to use it else it will crash. So, I wrote a wrapper around the BigInteger library called BigIntegerWrapper for those who feel they might forget to Boot the library before using it.
