The documentation says "binary operations involving |BigInteger| and any
other integral type result in |BigInteger".
|If I understand the table correctly it show that int and BigInteger
result in BigInteger.
Am I missing something?

I’ve been struggling with types in math operations in Groovy. I think
there is an error in the documentation?
http://groovy-lang.org/syntax.html#_math_operations
It says that int and BigDecimal result in double, but it doesn’t, it
results in BigDecimal instead. It appears this holds for byte, char,
short, and long as well.
assert (15.0 + 1).class == BigDecimal
Are there other errors in that table? It seems so… because byte +
short is a byte and not an int as mentioned in that table:
assert ((byte)1 + (short)1).class == Byte
I would put in a PR to fix up that doc but I’m not sure I understand
how it all works. Normally when I do maths I try to stick all to
primitive types or all to BigDecimal types. Today I’m trying to make
sure I don’t accidentally go from BigDecimals to float/double.
