jaroslav@1258:  * Provides classes for performing arbitrary-precision integer
jaroslav@1258:  * arithmetic ({@code BigInteger}) and arbitrary-precision decimal
jaroslav@1258:  * arithmetic ({@code BigDecimal}).  {@code BigInteger} is analogous
jaroslav@1258:  * to the primitive integer types except that it provides arbitrary
jaroslav@1258:  * precision, hence operations on {@code BigInteger}s do not overflow
jaroslav@1258:  * or lose precision.  In addition to standard arithmetic operations,
jaroslav@1258:  * {@code BigInteger} provides modular arithmetic, GCD calculation,
jaroslav@1258:  * primality testing, prime generation, bit manipulation, and a few
jaroslav@1258:  * other miscellaneous operations.
jaroslav@1258:  *
jaroslav@1258:  * {@code BigDecimal} provides arbitrary-precision signed decimal
jaroslav@1258:  * numbers suitable for currency calculations and the like.  {@code
jaroslav@1258:  * BigDecimal} gives the user complete control over rounding behavior,
jaroslav@1258:  * allowing the user to choose from a comprehensive set of eight
jaroslav@1258:  * rounding modes.
