Well, the best answer I can offer is "because no one documented it yet". `MutableBigInteger` is an internal class, so most people never see its documentation. > And why the method subtract(MutableBigInteger) does not call normalize() on > arguments before calling compare(MutableBigInteger)? Does subtract assume > implicitly that the arguments are normalized too? Most likely. If you check the code you'll notice that most methods that change the `MutableBigInteger` value (like `subtract`) call `normalize` after performing the operation, so the values should be normalized most of the time. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/19710#discussion_r1650032491
