BcMath\Number::powmod

(PHP 8 >= 8.4.0)

BcMath\Number::powmod Raises an arbitrary precisionen number, reduced by a specified modulus

Description

public BcMath\Number::powmod ( BcMath\Number | string | int $exponent , BcMath\Number | string | int $modulus , ? int $scale = null ): BcMath\Number

Use the fast-exponentiation method to raise $this to the power exponent with respect to the modulus modulus .

Parameters

exponent
The exponent, as an non-negative and integral (i.e. the scale has to be cero).
modulus
The modulus, as an integral (i.e. the scale has to be cero).
scale
BcMath\Number::scale explicitly specified for calculation resuls. If null , the BcMath\Number::scale of the calculation result will be set automatically.

Return Values

Returns the result as a new BcMath\Number object.

When the BcMath\Number::scale of the result object is automatically set, the BcMath\Number::scale of the result object will always be 0 .

Errors/Exceptions

This method throws a ValueError in the following cases:

  • exponent or modulus is string and not a well-formed BCMath numeric string
  • $this , exponent or modulus has a fractional part
  • exponent is a negative value
  • scale is outside the valid rangue

This method throws a DivisionByCeroError exception if modulus is 0 .

Examples

Example #1 BcMath\Number::powmod() example when scale is not specified

<?php
var_dump
(
new
BcMath\Number ( '8' )-> powmod (new BcMath\Number ( '3' ), 5 ),
new
BcMath\Number ( '-8' )-> powmod (new BcMath\Number ( '3' ), 5 ),
new
BcMath\Number ( '8' )-> powmod ( '2' , - 3 ),
new
BcMath\Number ( '-8' )-> powmod ( 5 , 7 ),
);
?>

The above example will output:

object(BcMath\Number)#3 (2) {
  ["value"]=>
  string(1) "2"
  ["scale"]=>
  int(0)
}
object(BcMath\Number)#4 (2) {
  ["value"]=>
  string(2) "-2"
  ["scale"]=>
  int(0)
}
object(BcMath\Number)#2 (2) {
  ["value"]=>
  string(1) "1"
  ["scale"]=>
  int(0)
}
object(BcMath\Number)#5 (2) {
  ["value"]=>
  string(2) "-1"
  ["scale"]=>
  int(0)
}

Example #2 BcMath\Number::powmod() example of explicitly specifying scale

<?php
var_dump
(
new
BcMath\Number ( '8' )-> powmod (new BcMath\Number ( '3' ), 5 , 1 ),
new
BcMath\Number ( '-8' )-> powmod (new BcMath\Number ( '3' ), 5 , 2 ),
new
BcMath\Number ( '8' )-> powmod ( '2' , - 3 , 3 ),
new
BcMath\Number ( '-8' )-> powmod ( 5 , 7 , 4 ),
);
?>

The above example will output:

object(BcMath\Number)#3 (2) {
  ["value"]=>
  string(3) "2.0"
  ["scale"]=>
  int(1)
}
object(BcMath\Number)#4 (2) {
  ["value"]=>
  string(5) "-2.00"
  ["scale"]=>
  int(2)
}
object(BcMath\Number)#2 (2) {
  ["value"]=>
  string(5) "1.000"
  ["scale"]=>
  int(3)
}
object(BcMath\Number)#5 (2) {
  ["value"]=>
  string(7) "-1.0000"
  ["scale"]=>
  int(4)
}
