'''Wren-big''' is a module which adds support for arbitrary precision arithmetic to the Wren programming language. It consists of 46 classes: BigInt, BigRat, BigDec, BigInts, BigRats and BigRatsBigDecs. The latter twothree contain static methods for dealing with lists of BigInt, BigRat and BigRatBigDec objects respectively. BigInts also contains instance methods for creating and iterating through ranges of BigInts.
 
It is the tenth in a series of modules (listed on the language's [https[://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Wren |main page]]) designed to assist with writing Rosetta Code tasks so the same code does not have to be written or copy/pasted time and time again thereby bloating a task's script code unnecessarily.
 
To use it you need to copy the source code (in the [https[://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category_talk:Wren-big |talk page]]) to a text file called ''big.wren'' and place this in the same directory as the importing script so the command line interpreter can find it.
 
As there is a dependency on the ''Wren-trait'' module, you also need to copy that (if it is not already present) to the same directory as described [https[://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Wren-trait |here]]. Unless you are using classes in that module directly, there is no need to ''import'' them into your script and the ''Comparable'' class can even be imported via Wren-big itself.
 
Wren-big also has a dependency on the Random module which is an optional part of Wren's standard library.
