Field Detail

ZERO

public static final ModuloInteger ZERO

The modulo integer representing the additive identity.

ONE

public static final ModuloInteger ONE

The modulo integer representing the multiplicative identity.

Method Detail

valueOf

public static ModuloInteger valueOf(LargeInteger value)

Returns the modulo integer having the specified value (independently of the current modulo).

Parameters:

value - the modulo integer intrinsic value.

Returns:

the corresponding modulo number.

valueOf

public static ModuloInteger valueOf(java.lang.CharSequence chars)

Returns the modulo integer for the specified character sequence in decimal number.

Parameters:

chars - the character sequence.

Returns:

the corresponding modulo number.

getModulus

public static LargeInteger getModulus()

Returns the local modulus for modular arithmetic or null if the arithmetic operations are non-modular (default).

Returns:

the local modulus or null if none.

See Also:

setModulus(org.jscience.mathematics.number.LargeInteger)

setModulus

public static void setModulus(LargeInteger modulus)

Sets the local modulus for modular arithmetic.

Parameters:

modulus - the new modulus or null to unset the modulus.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if modulus <= 0

moduloValue

public LargeInteger moduloValue()

Returns the current modulo value of this number. If the modulus is set to null the intrinsic value (the creation value) is returned.

Returns:

the positive number equals to this number modulo modulus or this modulo creation value.

toText

public javolution.text.Text toText()

Returns the text representation of the current modulo value of this number.

Specified by:

toText in interface javolution.lang.Realtime

Specified by:

toText in class Number<ModuloInteger>

Returns:

the representation of its modulo value.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object that)

Compares this modulo integer against the specified object independently of the current modulus.

Specified by:

equals in class Number<ModuloInteger>

Parameters:

that - the object to compare with.

Returns:

true if that is a modulo number with the same intrinsic value; false otherwise.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code for this large integer number.

Specified by:

hashCode in class Number<ModuloInteger>

Returns:

the hash code value.

isLargerThan

public boolean isLargerThan(ModuloInteger that)

Description copied from class: Number

Compares the magnitude of this number with that number.

Specified by:

isLargerThan in class Number<ModuloInteger>

Returns:

|this| > |that|

longValue

public long longValue()

Description copied from class: Number

Returns the value of this number as a long.

Specified by:

longValue in class Number<ModuloInteger>

Returns:

the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type long.

doubleValue

public double doubleValue()

Description copied from class: Number

Returns the value of this number as a double.

Specified by:

doubleValue in class Number<ModuloInteger>

Returns:

the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type double.

compareTo
