(** Operations on arbitrary-precision integers.

    Big integers (type {!big_int} or equivalently {!Big_int.t}) are
    signed integers of arbitrary size. This module lets you compute
    with huge numbers, whose size is limited only by the amount of
    memory given to OCaml. The downside is speed, as big integers
    are much slower than any other type of integer known to OCaml.

    This module replaces Stdlib's
    {{:http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/libref/Big_int.html}Big_int}
    module.

val to_string_in_base : int -> big_int -> string
(** [to_string_in_base b n] returns the string representation in base [b] of

    bases, or custom digits instead of the usual [0,1,...9,a,b,...,z]), use
    [to_string_in_custom_base] instead. @raise Invalid_argument if b is not in
    [2 .. 36]. *)

val to_string_in_custom_base : string -> int -> big_int -> string
(** First argument, called [symbols], is the vector of the symbols used to
    represent the digits in base [b]. [to_string_in_base] is almost equivalent to
    [to_string_in_custom_base big_int_base_default_symbols], the difference being
    that [to_string_in_custom_base] allows the base to be arbitrarily large,
    provided that [symbols] can accommodate it. Concretely, the base [b] must be at
    least [2], and [symbols] must be of size at least [b]. The default value of
    [big_int_base_default_symbols] contains 62 symbols, as it uses lowercase and
    uppercase letters both. See below for more information. @raise Invalid_argument
    if [b] is incorrect. *)


val big_int_base_default_symbols : string
(** Default vector of symbols used by [to_string_in_base] and its fixed-base
    derivatives [to_string_in_binary], [to_string_in_octal] and [to_string_in_hexa]
    to represent digits. The symbol at position [p] encodes the value [p]. The
    original value of this vector is, schematically, [['0'..'9' 'a' 'b'..'z' 'A'
    'B'..'Z']], which is sufficient for bases up to and including 62. The basic
    [to_string_in_base] function is capped to base 36 to avoid unexpected
    behaviours do to the case-sensitivity of the output in bases 37 to 62. You
    technically {i can} mutate the vector, for instance if you prefer to exchange
    lower- and upper-case symbols program-wide. As usual where mutability is
    concerned, discretion is advised. Most of the time, it is better to build
    custom functions using [to_string_in_custom_base].
