Converting a string into BigInteger

Question

I have the following code that creates a very big number (BigInteger) which is converted then into a string.

// It\'s a console app         


        

Answer 1

Here is another approach which is faster compared to BigInteger.Parse()

public static BigInteger ToBigInteger(string value)
{
    BigInteger result = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < value.Length; i++)
    {
        result = result * 10 + (value[i] - '0');
    }
    return result;
}

Answer 2

Use BigInteger.Parse() method.

Converts the string representation of a number in a specified style to its BigInteger equivalent.

BigInteger bi = 2;
for(int i = 0; i < 1234; i++)
{
    bi *= 2;
}

var myBigIntegerNumber = bi.ToString();
Console.WriteLine(BigInteger.Parse(myBigIntegerNumber));

Also you can check BigInteger.TryParse() method with your conversation is successful or not.

Tries to convert the string representation of a number to its BigInteger equivalent, and returns a value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded.
