In addition to standard arithmetic operations, * {@code BigInteger} provides modular arithmetic, GCD calculation, * primality testing, prime generation, bit manipulation, and a few * other miscellaneous operations. * * {@code BigDecimal} provides arbitrary-precision signed decimal * numbers suitable for currency calculations and the like. {@code * BigDecimal} gives the user complete control over rounding behavior, * allowing the user to choose from a comprehensive set of eight * rounding modes. * * @since JDK1.1 */ package java.math;
