Functions

func ConvertToBigInt

func ConvertToBigInt(in []byte) (*big.Int, error)

Decodes a byte array (ASCII encoding of a signed integer) into a big integer

func FlipBytes

func FlipBytes(bytesIn []byte) []byte

*

• Flips all bytes in each of the array's elements.
• Returns the flipped elements.

func FromByteArray

func FromByteArray(bytesIn []byte) (*big.Int, error)

*

• Returns the big.Int based on the passed byte-array assuming the byte-array contains
• the two's-complement representation of this big.Int. The byte array will be in big-endian byte-order:
• the most significant byte is in the zeroth element. The array will contain the minimum number of bytes
• required to represent this BigInteger, including at least one sign bit, which is (ceil((this.bitLength() + 1)/8)).

func ParseInput

func ParseInput(in []byte) ([]*big.Int, error)

Decodes a byte array (ASCII encoding of comma-separated integers) into an array of big integers

func ToByteArray

func ToByteArray(in *big.Int) []byte

*

• Returns a byte array containing the two's-complement representation of this big.Int.
• The byte array will be in big-endian byte-order: the most significant byte is in the
• zeroth element. The array will contain the minimum number of bytes required to represent
• this BigInteger, including at least one sign bit, which is (ceil((this.bitLength() + 1)/8)).
