GHC.Natural
Description
The arbitrary-precision Natural number type.
Note: This is an internal GHC module with an API subject to
 change.  It's recommended use the Numeric.Natural module to import
 the Natural type.
Since: base-4.8.0.0
Synopsis
- data Natural
- isValidNatural :: Natural -> Bool
- naturalFromInteger :: Integer -> Natural
- wordToNatural :: Word -> Natural
- naturalToWordMaybe :: Natural -> Maybe Word
- minusNaturalMaybe :: Natural -> Natural -> Maybe Natural
- powModNatural :: Natural -> Natural -> Natural -> Natural
The Natural number type
Warning: The internal implementation of Natural
 (i.e. which constructors are available) depends on the
 Integer backend used!
Type representing arbitrary-precision non-negative integers.
