Is there a method which convert elements in String to BigInt?

Question

This code :

1234.toString.map(_.asDigit) 

returns :

scala.collection.immutable.IndexedSeq[Int] = Vector(1, 2, 3, 4)

but I need a scala.collection.immutable.IndexedSeq[BigInt]

There does not seem to be a method such as asBigInt which will convert the String characters to BigInt . How can this be done ?

Answer 1

1234.toString.map(_.asDigit).map(BigInt(_))
