- * BigUnsigned and BigInteger both provide three kinds of operators.
- * Here ``big-integer'' refers to BigInteger or BigUnsigned.
- *
- * (1) Overloaded ``return-by-value'' operators:
- * +, -, *, /, %, unary -.
- * Big-integer code using these operators looks identical to
- * code using the primitive integer types. These operators take
- * one or two big-integer inputs and return a big-integer result,
- * which can then be assigned to a BigInteger variable or used
- * in an expression. Example:
- * BigInteger a(1), b = 1;
- * BigInteger c = a + b;
- *
- * (2) Overloaded assignment operators:
- * +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, &=, |=, ^=, ++, --, flipSign.
- * Again, these are used on big integers just like on ints.
- * They take one writable big integer that both provides an
- * operand and receives a result. The first eight also take
- * a second read-only operand. Example:
- * BigInteger a(1), b(1);
- * a += b;
- *
- * (3) ``Put-here'' operations: `add', `subtract', etc.
- * Using a return-by-value or assignment operator generally involves
- * copy constructions and/or assignments. The ``put-here'' operations
- * require none, but they are more of a hassle to use. Most take two
- * read-only operands and save the result in the calling object `*this',
- * whose previous value is ignored. `divideWithRemainder' is an exception.
- * <<< NOTE >>>: Put-here operations do not return a value: they don't need to!!
- * Examples:
- * BigInteger a(43), b(7), c, d;
- * c = a + b; // Now c == 50.
- * c.add(a, b); // Same effect but without the two bulk-copies.
- * c.divideWithRemainder(b, d); // 50 / 7; now d == 7 (quotient) and c == 1 (remainder).
- * a.add(a, b); // ``Aliased'' calls now do the right thing using a
- * // temporary copy, but see note on divideWithRemainder.
