For an optimal experience with the ocaml
interactive toplevel, the magic commands are:
#load "zarith.cma";;
#install_printer Z.pp_print;;
Alternatively, using the new Zarith_top
toplevel module, simply:
#require "zarith.top";;

val numbits : t -> int
Returns the number of significant bits in the given number. If x
is zero, numbits x
returns 0. Otherwise, numbits x
returns a positive integer n
such that 2^{n-1} <= |x| < 2^n

. Beware that most Nativeint
operations consider nativeint
to a signed type, not unsigned. Raises an Overflow
if the value is negative or does not fit in an unsigned native integer.
val to_float : t -> float
Converts to a floating-point value. This function rounds the given integer according to the current rounding mode of the processor. In default mode, it returns the floating-point number nearest to the given integer, breaking ties by rounding to even.
val to_string : t -> string
Gives a human-readable, decimal string representation of the argument.
val format : string -> t -> string
Gives a string representation of the argument in the specified printf-like format. The general specification has the following form:
% [flags] [width] type
Where the type actually indicates the base:
i
, d
, u
: decimalb
: binaryo
: octalx
: lowercase hexadecimalX
: uppercase hexadecimalSupported flags are:
+
: prefix positive numbers with a +
sign-
: left-justify (default is right justification)0
: pad with zeroes (instead of spaces)#
: alternate formatting (actually, simply output a literal-like prefix: 0x
, 0b
, 0o
)Unlike the classic printf
, all numbers are signed (even hexadecimal ones), there is no precision field, and characters that are not part of the format are simply ignored (and not copied in the output).

Comparison. compare x y
returns 0 if x
equals y
, -1 if x

val hash : t -> int
Hashes a number, producing a small integer. The result is consistent with equality: if a
= b
, then hash a
= hash b
. The result is the same as produced by OCaml's generic hash function, Hashtbl.hash
. Together with type Z.t
, the function Z.hash
makes it possible to pass module Z
as argument to the functor Hashtbl.Make
.
val seeded_hash : int -> t -> int
Like Z.hash
, but takes a seed as extra argument for diversification. The result is the same as produced by OCaml's generic seeded hash function, Hashtbl.seeded_hash
. Together with type Z.t
, the function Z.hash
makes it possible to pass module Z

, including gcd(0,0) = 0
.
gcdext u v
returns (g,s,t)
where g
is the greatest common divisor and g=us+vt
. g
is always nonnegative.
Note: the function is based on the GMP mpn_gcdext
function. The exact choice of s
and t
such that g=us+vt
is not specified, as it may vary from a version of GMP to another (it has changed notably in GMP 4.3.0 and 4.3.1).
Least common multiple. The result is always nonnegative. We have lcm(a,0) = lcm(0,a) = 0
.
powm base exp mod
computes base
^exp
modulo mod
. Negative exp
are supported, in which case (base
^-1)^(-exp
) modulo mod
is computed. However, if exp
is negative but base
has no inverse modulo mod
, then a Division_by_zero
is raised.
powm_sec base exp mod
computes base
^exp
modulo mod
. Unlike Z.powm
, this function is designed to take the same time and have the same cache access patterns for any two same-size arguments. Used in cryptographic applications, it provides better resistance to side-channel attacks than Z.powm
. The exponent exp
must be positive, and the modulus mod
must be odd. Otherwise, Invalid_arg
is raised.

modulo mod
. Raises a Division_by_zero
if base
is not invertible modulo mod
.
val probab_prime : t -> int -> int

lucnum n
returns the n
-th Lucas number. Raises an Invaid_argument
if n
is non-positive.
pow base exp
raises base
to the exp
power. exp
must be nonnegative. Note that only exponents fitting in a machine integer are supported, as larger exponents would surely make the result's size overflow the address space.
Returns the square root. The result is truncated (rounded down to an integer). Raises an Invalid_argument
on negative arguments.
Returns the square root truncated, and the remainder. Raises an Invalid_argument
on negative arguments.
root x n
computes the n
-th root of x
. n
must be positive and, if n
is even, then x
must be nonnegative. Otherwise, an Invalid_argument
is raised.
rootrem x n
computes the n
-th root of x
and the remainder x-root**n
. n
must be positive and, if n
is even, then x
must be nonnegative. Otherwise, an Invalid_argument
is raised.

, with b>1
val perfect_square : t -> bool
True if the argument has the form a^2
.
val log2 : t -> int
Returns the base-2 logarithm of its argument, rounded down to an integer. If x
is positive, log2 x
returns the largest n
such that 2^n <= x
. If x
is negative or zero, log2 x
raise the Invalid_argument
exception.
val log2up : t -> int
Returns the base-2 logarithm of its argument, rounded up to an integer. If x
is positive, log2up x
returns the smallest n
such that x <= 2^n
. If x
is negative or zero, log2up x
raise the Invalid_argument
exception.
val size : t -> int
Returns the number of machine words used to represent the number.
extract a off len
returns a nonnegative number corresponding to bits off
to off
+len
-1 of a
. Negative a
are considered in infinite-length 2's complement representation. Raises an Invalid_argument
if off
is strictly negative, or if len
is negative or null.
signed_extract a off len
extracts bits off
to off
+len
-1 of b
, as extract
does, then sign-extends bit len-1
of the result (that is, bit off + len - 1
of a
). The result is between - 2{^[len]-1}
(included) and 2{^[len]-1}
(excluded), and equal to extract a off len
modulo 2{^len}
. Raises an Invalid_argument
if off
is strictly negative, or if len
is negative or null.
val to_bits : t -> string
Returns a binary representation of the argument. The string result should be interpreted as a sequence of bytes, corresponding to the binary representation of the absolute value of the argument in little endian ordering. The sign is not stored in the string.
val of_bits : string -> t
Constructs a number from a binary string representation. The string is interpreted as a sequence of bytes in little endian order, and the result is always positive. We have the identity: of_bits (to_bits x) = abs x
. However, we can have to_bits (of_bits s) <> s
due to the presence of trailing zeros in s.
val random_int : ?rng:Random.State.t -> t -> t
random_int bound
returns a random integer between 0 (inclusive) and bound
(exclusive). bound
must be greater than 0.
The source of randomness is the Random
module from the OCaml standard library. The optional rng
argument specifies which random state to use. If omitted, the default random state for the Random
module is used.
Random numbers produced by this function are not cryptographically strong and must not be used in cryptographic or high-security contexts. See Z.random_int_gen
for an alternative.
val random_bits : ?rng:Random.State.t -> int -> t
random_bits nbits
returns a random integer between 0 (inclusive) and 2{^nbits}
(exclusive). nbits
must be nonnegative. This is a more efficient special case of Z.random_int
when the bound is a power of two.
The source of randomness and the rng
optional argument are as described in Z.random_int
.
Random numbers produced by this function are not cryptographically strong and must not be used in cryptographic or high-security contexts. See Z.random_bits_gen
for an alternative.
random_int_gen ~fill bound
returns a random integer between 0 (inclusive) and bound
(exclusive). bound
must be greater than 0.
The fill
parameter is the source of randomness. It is called as fill buf pos len
, and is responsible for drawing len
random bytes and writing them to offsets pos
to pos + len - 1
of the byte array buf
.
Example of use where /dev/random
provides the random bytes: << In_channel.with_open_bin "/dev/random" (fun ic -> Z.random_int_gen ~fill:(really_input ic) bound) >> Example of use where the Cryptokit library provides the random bytes: << Z.random_int_gen ~fill:Cryptokit.Random.secure_rng#bytes bound >>
val random_bits_gen : fill:(bytes -> int -> int -> unit) -> int -> t
random_bits_gen ~fill nbits
returns a random integer between 0 (inclusive) and 2{^nbits}
(exclusive). nbits
must be nonnegative. This is a more efficient special case of Z.random_int_gen
when the bound is a power of two. The fill
parameter is as described in Z.random_int_gen
.
Classic (and less classic) prefix and infix int
operators are redefined on t
.
This makes it easy to typeset expressions. Using OCaml 3.12's local open, you can simply write Z.(~$2 + ~$5 * ~$10)
.
val (~$) : int -> t
Conversion from int
of_int
.
module Compare = Z.Compare
