#include "BigUnsigned.hh"

/*
* A BigInteger object represents a signed integer of size
* limited only by available memory.  A BigInteger can be
* created from and converted back to most integral types,
* and many math operations are defined on BigIntegers.
*
* The number is stored as a series of blocks in a
* dynamically allocated array.  It is as if the number
* were written digit by digit in base 2 ^ N, **where N is the
* number of bits in an unsigned long.**
*
* This class is derived from BigUnsigned, which represents
* a large nonnegative integer.  BigUnsigned should be studied
* first, as only new or different things are declared here.
* Some things are redeclared so that they use the BigInteger
* versions of methods, rather than the BigUnsigned versions.
