bcmul — Multiply two arbitrary precision numbers

Опис

bcmul(string $num1, string $num2, ?int $scale = null): string

Multiply num1 by num2.

Параметри

num1: The left operand, as a string.
num2: The right operand, as a string.
scale: Необов'язковий параметр, яким вказується кількість знаків після крапки в результаті. Якщо опущено, застосовується межа, що встановлена глобально функцією bcscale(), або ж 0, якщо межа ще не встановлена.

Значення, що повертаються

Returns the result as a string.

Помилки/виключення

This function throws a ValueError in the following cases:

num1 or num2 is not a well-formed BCMath numeric string.
scale is outside the valid range.

Журнал змін

Версія	Опис
8.0.0	`scale` is now nullable.
7.3.0	bcmul() now returns numbers with the requested scale. Formerly, the returned numbers may have omitted trailing decimal zeroes.

Приклади

Приклад #1 bcmul() example

<?php
echo bcmul('1.34747474747', '35', 3); // 47.161
echo bcmul('2', '4'); // 8
?>

Примітки

Зауваження:
Prior to PHP 7.3.0, bcmul() may return a result with fewer digits after the decimal point than the scale parameter would indicate. This only occurs when the result doesn't require all of the precision allowed by the scale. For example:

Приклад #2 bcmul() scale example

<?php echo bcmul('5', '2', 2); // prints "10", not "10.00" ?>

I made this to multiply an unlimited size of integers together (meaning no decimals)..
This could be useful for those without the BCMath extension.

<?php

function Mul($Num1='0',$Num2='0') {
  // check if they're both plain numbers
  if(!preg_match("/^\d+$/",$Num1)||!preg_match("/^\d+$/",$Num2)) return(0);

  // remove zeroes from beginning of numbers
  for($i=0;$i<strlen($Num1);$i++) if(@$Num1{$i}!='0') {$Num1=substr($Num1,$i);break;}
  for($i=0;$i<strlen($Num2);$i++) if(@$Num2{$i}!='0') {$Num2=substr($Num2,$i);break;}

  // get both number lengths
  $Len1=strlen($Num1);
  $Len2=strlen($Num2);

  // $Rema is for storing the calculated numbers and $Rema2 is for carrying the remainders
  $Rema=$Rema2=array();

  // we start by making a $Len1 by $Len2 table (array)
  for($y=$i=0;$y<$Len1;$y++)
    for($x=0;$x<$Len2;$x++)
      // we use the classic lattice method for calculating the multiplication..
      // this will multiply each number in $Num1 with each number in $Num2 and store it accordingly
      @$Rema[$i++%$Len2].=sprintf('%02d',(int)$Num1{$y}*(int)$Num2{$x});

  // cycle through each stored number
  for($y=0;$y<$Len2;$y++)
    for($x=0;$x<$Len1*2;$x++)
      // add up the numbers in the diagonal fashion the lattice method uses
      @$Rema2[Floor(($x-1)/2)+1+$y]+=(int)$Rema[$y]{$x};

  // reverse the results around
  $Rema2=array_reverse($Rema2);

  // cycle through all the results again
  for($i=0;$i<count($Rema2);$i++) {
    // reverse this item, split, keep the first digit, spread the other digits down the array
    $Rema3=str_split(strrev($Rema2[$i]));
    for($o=0;$o<count($Rema3);$o++)
      if($o==0) @$Rema2[$i+$o]=$Rema3[$o];
      else @$Rema2[$i+$o]+=$Rema3[$o];
  }
  // implode $Rema2 so it's a string and reverse it, this is the result!
  $Rema2=strrev(implode($Rema2));

  // just to make sure, we delete the zeros from the beginning of the result and return
  while(strlen($Rema2)>1&&$Rema2{0}=='0') $Rema2=substr($Rema2,1);

  return($Rema2);
}

$A='5650175242508133742';
$B='2361030539975818701734615584174625';

printf("  Mul(%s,%s); // %s\r\n",$A,$B,  Mul($A,$B));
printf("BCMul(%s,%s); // %s\r\n",$A,$B,BCMul($A,$B)); // build-in function

/*
  This will print something similar to this..
    Mul(5650175242508133742,2361030539975818701734615584174625);
  BCMul(5650175242508133742,2361030539975818701734615584174625);

  both of which should be followed by the answer:
  13340236303776981390475700774516825287352418182696750
*/

?>

It was a fun experience making.. even though this took me longer than the BCAdd alternative I did..
Memory allocation might be an issue for rediculously larger numbers though.. if someone wants to benchmark the performance of my function; feel free.
Enjoy,
Nitrogen.

Well, I have a little problem implementing Blake Hash in my server because it is not a x64 server machine. I made a little function that use the powerfull of BC library to do the bitwise operation Shift.

<?php
echo 'Left Shift test<br />';
bprint('1', decbin(1));
bprint('1 << 32 (Fail)', decbin(1 << 32)); //Fail, operation not succesfull in 32-bit machine
bprint('shiftleft(1, 32) (Success)', dec2bin(shiftleft('1', '32'))); //decbin fails, so we use personalized function, success

echo '<br />';
echo 'Right Shift test<br />';
bprint('9223372036854775808', dec2bin('9223372036854775808'));
bprint('9223372036854775808 >> 63 (Fail)', decbin(9223372036854775808 >> 63));
bprint('rightshift(9223372036854775808, 63) (Success)', decbin(rightshift('9223372036854775808', '63')));

function shiftleft($num, $bits) {
    return bcmul($num, bcpow('2', $bits));
}

function rightshift($num, $bits) {
    return bcdiv($num, bcpow('2', $bits));
}

function bprint($title, $content) {
    echo $title . '<br />' . str_pad($content, 64, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) . '<br />' . PHP_EOL;
}

//http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.decbin.php#99533
function dec2bin($dec) {
    // Better function for dec to bin. Support much bigger values, but doesn’t support signs
    for ($b = '', $r = $dec; $r >1;) {
        $n = floor($r / 2);
        $b = ($r - $n * 2) . $b;
        $r = $n; // $r%2 is inaccurate when using bigger values (like 11.435.168.214)!
    }
    return ($r % 2) . $b;
}
?>

When using printf to print the results of bcmath operations, use string format, i.e. '%s', not numeric formats such as '%d' or '%f'.  For example, the output of factorial (23) will be incorrect if using %d or %f:

Result using %f:
factorial (22) = 1124000727777607680000 (correct)
factorial (23) = 25852016738884978212864 (incorrect)

Result using %s:
factorial (22) = 1124000727777607680000
factorial (23) = 25852016738884976640000

Using echo, this is not a problem - PHP will output the bcmath string type correctly.
