Kotlin library for BigDecimal math functions (pow, sqrt, log, sin, ...) using arbitrary precision.
This library depends on the big-math library and provides additional Kotlin features to do calculations with arbitrary precision.
It provides two different approaches to do the calculations
BigDecimal+DefaultBigDecimalMath: recommended approachBigFloat: experimental approach
The big-math library
provides advanced math functions (pow, sqrt, log, sin, ...).
The kotlin-big-math library enhances the big-math library with the kotlin specific operators and infix methods.
Additionally it solves several of the problems that the standard kotlib library has when using BigDecimal.
By using the following imports you can use the standard BigDecimal class
and the mathematical functions in DefaultBigDecimalMath in a simple but powerful manner:
import java.math.BigDecimal
import java.math.BigDecimal.*
import ch.obermuhlner.math.big.DefaultBigDecimalMath.*
import ch.obermuhlner.math.big.kotlin.bigdecimal.*-
+operator -
-operator -
*operator -
/operator -
%operator -
++operator -
--operator -
powinfix method -
rootinfix method -
valueOf(Int)method (equivalent toBigDecimal(Int)constructor)
The usage of DefaultBigDecimalMath follows the same rules as described in the big-math library.
To specify a temporary local MathContext you can either
use createLocalMathContext() method with use:
createLocalMathContext(10).use {
// do some calculations using DefaultBigDecimalMath
}Alternatively you can use the withLocalMathContext() method
withLocalMathContext(10) {
// do some calculations using DefaultBigDecimalMath
}Full example:
import java.math.BigDecimal
import java.math.BigDecimal.*
import ch.obermuhlner.math.big.DefaultBigDecimalMath.*
import ch.obermuhlner.math.big.kotlin.bigdecimal.*
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
simpleExample()
createLocalMathContextExample()
withLocalMathContextExample()
piChudnovskyExample()
}
fun simpleExample() {
val v1 = valueOf(2) / 3
println(v1)
}
fun createLocalMathContextExample() {
println("Pi[default]: " + pi())
createLocalMathContext(5).use {
println("Pi[5]: " + pi())
createLocalMathContext(10).use {
println("Pi[10]: " + pi())
}
println("Pi[5]: " + pi())
}
println("Pi[default]: " + pi())
}
fun withLocalMathContextExample() {
println("Pi[default]: " + pi())
withLocalMathContext(5) {
println("Pi[5]: " + pi())
withLocalMathContext(10) {
println("Pi[10]: " + pi())
}
println("Pi[5]: " + pi())
}
println("Pi[default]: " + pi())
}
fun piChudnovskyExample() {
withLocalMathContext(100) {
println(piChudnovsky())
}
}
fun piChudnovsky() : BigDecimal {
val valueDivisor = (valueOf(640320) pow 3) / 24
var sumA = valueOf(1)
var sumB = valueOf(0)
var a = valueOf(1)
var dividendTerm1 = valueOf(5) // -(6*k - 5)
var dividendTerm2 = valueOf(-1) // 2*k - 1
var dividendTerm3 = valueOf(-1) // 6*k - 1
val precision = currentMathContext().precision
val iterationCount = (precision+13) / 14 + 1
for (k in 1 .. iterationCount) {
dividendTerm1 += -6
dividendTerm2 += 2
dividendTerm3 += 6
val dividend = dividendTerm1 * dividendTerm2 * dividendTerm3
val divisor = (valueOf(k) pow 3) * valueDivisor
a *= dividend / divisor
val b = a * k
sumA += a
sumB += b
}
val factor = sqrt(valueOf(10005)) * 426880;
val pi = factor / (sumA * 13591409 + sumB * 545140134);
return pi;
}This produces the following output:
0.6666666666666666666666666666666667
Pi[default]: 3.141592653589793238462643383279503

The BigFloat class is a wrapper around BigDecimal which simplifies the consistent usage of the MathContext
and provides a simpler API for calculations.
This is an experimental implementation. Your mileage may vary.
Use the following imports:
import ch.obermuhlner.math.big.BigFloat
import ch.obermuhlner.math.big.BigFloat.*
import ch.obermuhlner.math.big.kotlin.bigfloat.*-
+operator -
-operator -
*operator -
/operator -
++operator -
--operator -
powinfix method -
rootinfix method
The usage of BigFloat follows the same rules as described in the big-math library.
import ch.obermuhlner.math.big.BigFloat
import ch.obermuhlner.math.big.BigFloat.*
import ch.obermuhlner.math.big.kotlin.bigfloat.*
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
simpleExample()
piExample()
}
fun simpleExample() {
val context = context(100)
val v1 = context.valueOf(2) / 3
println(v1)
}
fun piExample() {
println(piChudnovsky(100))
}
fun piChudnovsky(precision: Int) : BigFloat {
val context = context(precision + 10)
val valueDivisor = (context.valueOf(640320) pow 3) / 24
var sumA = context.valueOf(1)
var sumB = context.valueOf(0)
var a = context.valueOf(1)
var dividendTerm1 = context.valueOf(5) // -(6*k - 5)
var dividendTerm2 = context.valueOf(-1) // 2*k - 1
var dividendTerm3 = context.valueOf(-1) // 6*k - 1
val iterationCount = (context.getPrecision()+13) / 14 + 1
for (k in 1 .. iterationCount) {
dividendTerm1 += -6
dividendTerm2 += 2
dividendTerm3 += 6
val dividend = dividendTerm1 * dividendTerm2 * dividendTerm3
val divisor = (context.valueOf(k) pow 3) * valueDivisor
a *= dividend / divisor
val b = a * k
sumA += a
sumB += b
}
val factor = sqrt(context.valueOf(10005)) * 426880;
val pi = factor / (sumA * 13591409 + sumB * 545140134);
return context(precision).valueOf(pi);
}This produces the following output:
0.6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666667

The standard kotlin library already provides operators for BigDecimal but there are several problems with this solution.
The precision of the standard operators is determined from the arguments. In the case of the division this can lead to unexpected results!
// Code example with standard kotlin library (without kotlin-big-math)
val v = valueOf(2) / valueOf(3)
println(v) // prints: 1 !!!This problem is solved in kotlin-big-math because the precision is specified outside the function call.
// Code example with kotlin-big-math
val v = valueOf(2) / valueOf(3)
println(v) // prints: 0.6666666666666666666666666666666667The Java BigDecimal class has two overloaded valueOf() functions for the types Double and Long but not for Int.
// Code example with standard kotlin library (without kotlin-big-math)
val n = 2
val v0 = valueOf(n) // Compile Error!This code does not compile but gives the following error:
Compile Error: None of the following functions can be called with the arguments supplied.
valueOf(Double) defined in java.math.BigDecimal
valueOf(Long) defined in java.math.BigDecimal
This problem is solved in kotlin-big-math by providing a fun valueOf(Int): BigDecimal.
// Code example with kotlin-big-math
val n = 2
val v = valueOf(n)The standard kotlin library does not provide overloaded operators for mixing Int, Double, Long with BigDecimal.
This leads to unnecessary clutter:
// Code example with standard kotlin library (without kotlin-big-math)
val v1 = valueOf(2)
val v2 = v1 * valueOf(3)
val v3 = valueOf(4) * v1This problem is solved in kotlin-big-math by providing a overloaded operators where one argument is Int, Double or Long.
// Code example with kotlin-big-math
val v1 = valueOf(2)
val v2 = v1 * 3
val v3 = 4.0 * v1To use the kotlin library you can either download the newest version of the .jar file from the published releases on Github or use the following dependency to Maven Central in your build script (please verify the version number to be the newest release):
