Class BigInteger
Object
dw.util.BigInteger
The Integer class is a helper class to represent an arbitrary long integer number. The Demandware framework doesn't use this class, but in some special cases web services that declare a XML element with "xsd:integer", which is by definition an arbitrary long integer number, require the use of this class. The class is designed in a way that it can be used very similar to a desktop calculator. For example: var i = new Integer( 10 ); var result = d.add( 2 ).sub( 3 ).get(); The above code will return 9 as result.

equals
equals(other : Object) : boolean
Compares two Integer values whether they are equivalent.
Parameters:
other - the object to compare against this Integer.

get
get() : Number
Returns the value of the Integer as a Number.
Returns:

hashCode
hashCode() : Number
Calculates the hash code for this Integer;

multiply
multiply(value : Number) : BigInteger

multiply
multiply(value : BigInteger) : BigInteger
Multiples the specified Integer value with this Integer and returns the new Integer.
Parameters:
value - the value to multiply with this Integer.
Returns:
the new Integer.

negate
negate() : BigInteger
Returns a new Integer with the negated value of this Integer.
Returns:

Parameters:
value - the value to add to this Integer.
Returns:
the new Integer with the value subtraced.

toString
toString() : String
Returns a string representation of this object.
Returns:
a string representation of this object.

valueOf
valueOf() : Object
The valueOf() method is called by the ECMAScript interpret to return the "natural" value of an object. The Inetger object returns its current value as number. With this behavior script snippets can be written like: var i = new Integer( 10 ); var x = 1 + d.add( 2 ); where x will be at the end 13.
Returns:
the value of this object.
