Ruby Bignum Functions
EditRocket provides the following information on Bignum functions in the Ruby source code builder.
abs - Returns the absolute value of big.
coerce(p1) - "MISSING: documentation"
div(other) - Divides big by other, returning the result.
divmod(numeric) - See Numeric#divmod.
eql?(obj) - Returns true only if obj is a Bignum with the same value as big. Contrast this with Bignum#==, which performs type conversions.
hash - Compute a hash based on the value of big.
modulo(other) - Returns big modulo other. See Numeric.divmod for more information.
new -
power!(p1) - "Alias for #**"
quo(other) - If Rational is defined, returns a Rational number instead of a Bignum.
rdiv(p1) - "Alias for #quo"
remainder(numeric) - Returns the remainder after dividing big by numeric.
rpower(other) - Returns a Rational number if the result is in fact rational (i.e. other < 0).
size - Returns the number of bytes in the machine representation of big.
to_f - Converts big to a Float. If big doesn't fit in a Float, the result is infinity.
to_s(base=10) - Returns a string containing the representation of big radix base (2 through 36).
