BigInt
A pure Swift library for arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic, providing BigUInt and BigInt types.
What is BigInt?
BigInt is a Swift library that provides arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic, enabling calculations with numbers larger than the built-in integer types can handle. It solves the problem of integer overflow by offering `BigUInt` and `BigInt` types that can grow to any size, implemented entirely in Swift without external dependencies like GMP.
Swift developers working on applications requiring large integer calculations, such as cryptography, mathematical simulations, or data processing where precision beyond standard integer limits is needed.
Developers choose BigInt for its pure Swift implementation, which avoids linking to external C libraries, and its comprehensive feature set including cryptographic functions, radix conversion, and a performance-optimized design with copy-on-write semantics.
