# Method Gmp.mpz()->create()

Method create

  `Gmp.mpz Gmp.mpz()`
  `Gmp.mpz Gmp.mpz(`string`|`int`|`float`|`object` `value`)`
  `Gmp.mpz Gmp.mpz(`string` `value`, `int(2..36)`|`int(256..256)`|`int(-256..-256)` `base`)`

Description

  Create and initialize a Gmp.mpz object.

Parameter `value`

  Initial value. If no value is specified, the object will be initialized to zero.

Parameter `base`

  Base the value is specified in. The default base is base 10. The base can be either a value in the range `[2..36]` (inclusive), in which case the numbers are taken from the ASCII range `0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ` (case-insensitive), or either of the values `256` or `-256`, in which case `value` is taken to be the unsigned binary representation in network byte order or reversed byte order respectively.

  Values in base `[2..36]` can be prefixed with `"+"` or `"-"`. Values prefixed with `"0b"` or `"0B"` will be interpreted as binary. Values prefixed with `"0x"` or `"0X"` will be interpreted as hexadecimal. Values prefixed with `"0"` will be interpreted as octal.

Note

  Leading zeroes in `value` are not significant when a base is explicitly given. In particular leading NUL characters are not preserved in the base 256 modes.
