/**
* Provides classes for performing arbitrary-precision integer
* arithmetic ({@code BigInteger}) and arbitrary-precision decimal
* arithmetic ({@code BigDecimal}). {@code BigInteger} is analogous
* to the primitive integer types except that it provides arbitrary
* precision, hence operations on {@code BigInteger}s do not overflow
* or lose precision. 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
