Provides a type to do safe long arithmetic. This type will never overflow, but rather convert the underlying long to a BigInteger as need and back down to a Long when possible.

Exponentiation function, e.g. x ** y
Exponentiation function, e.g. x ** y
If base ** exponent doesn't fit in a Long, the result will overflow (unlike scala.math.pow which will return +/- Infinity).
Returns true if this SafeLong is probably prime, false if it's definitely composite. If certainty is ≤ 0, true is returned.
Returns true if this SafeLong is probably prime, false if it's definitely composite. If certainty is ≤ 0, true is returned.
- Value parameters:
- certainty
a measure of the uncertainty that the caller is willing to tolerate: if the call returns true the probability that this BigInteger is prime exceeds (1 - 1/2^certainty).
