People,
Apologies if this is the second time you receive this. (News didn't
handle the 8-bit characters in the previous posting.)
Anyways, here's the post-review integer.m and a test module, bigint.m.
Let me know if you have feedback.
Cheers,
Bert

%
% Implements an arbitrary precision integer type and basic
% operations on it. (An arbitrary precision integer may have
% any number of digits, unlike an int, which is limited to the
% precision of the machine's int type, which is typically 32 bits.)
%
% Note that all operators behave as the equivalent operators on ints do.
% This includes the division operators: / // rem div mod.
%
% Possible improvements:
%
% 1) allow negative digits (-base+1 .. base-1) in lists of
% digits and normalise only when printing. This would
% probably simplify the division algorithm, also.
%
% 2) alternatively, instead of using base=10000, use *all* the
% bits in an int and make use of the properties of machine
% arithmetic. Base 10000 doesn't use even half the bits
% in an int, which is inefficient. (Base 2^14 would be
% a little better but would require a slightly more
% complex case conversion on reading and printing.)
%
% 3) Use an O(n^(3/2)) algorithm for multiplying large
% integers, rather than the current O(n^2) method.
% There's an obvious divide-and-conquer technique,
% Karatsuba multiplication.
%
% 4) We could overload operators so that we can have mixed operations
% on ints and integers. For example, "integer(1)+3". This
% would obviate most calls of integer().
%
% 5) Use double-ended lists rather than simple lists. This
% would improve the efficiency of the division algorithm,
% which reverse lists.
%
% 6) Add bit operations (XOR, AND, OR, etc). We would treat
% the integers as having a 2's complement bit representation.
% This is easier to do if we use base 2^14 as mentioned above.
%
% 7) The implementation of `div' is slower than it need be.
%
% 8) Fourier methods such as Schoenhage-Strassen and
% multiplication via modular arithmetic are left as
% exercises to the reader. 8^)
%
%
% Of the above, 1) would have the best bang-for-buck, 5) would
% benefit division and remainder operations quite a lot, and 3)
% would benefit large multiplications (thousands of digits)
% and is straightforward to implement.

% Algorithm: We take digits from the start of U (call them Ur)
% and divide by V to get a digit Q of the ratio.
% Essentially the usual long division algorithm.
% Qhat is an approximation to Q. It may be at most 2 too big.
%
% If the first digit of V is less than base/2, then
% we scale both the numerator and denominator. This
% way, we can use Knuth's[*] nifty trick for finding
% an accurate approximation to Q. That's all we use from
% Knuth; his MIX algorithm is fugly.
