base-math

base-math is a package that performs basic mathematical operations regardless of number base. When provided a respective base (binary, octal, hex) base-math will convert the provided numbers to integers, perform the operation, and return the result in requested base.

Installion

npm install base-math --save

API

var bmath = require('base-math')();

usage

base-math takes two required parameters and one optional base parameter. For example, bmath.add('101', '1221', 8) would return 1322 in base 8. The package defaults to a base 10 numbering system so that the same operation bmath.add('101', '1221') without a base type would also result in 1322 with an entirely different meaning. Basically, be aware of what you're converting.

At this time, base-math does not support mixed number types. Both numbers should be of the same base.

methods

add(x, y, base)

Adds two numbers and returns the result. Takes an optional base parameter. Defaults to base 10.

var hexNum = bmath.add('3e2a', '1e1d', 16);
var octNum = bmath.add('363', '031', 8);
var binary = bmath.add('11001101', '10101110', 2);
var float  = bmath.add(4.3, 3.2);
var number = bmath.add(45, 21);

subtract(x, y, base)

Subtracts two numbers and returns the result. Takes an optional base parameter. Defaults to base 10.

var hexNum = bmath.subtract('3e2a', '1e1d', 16);
var octNum = bmath.subtract('363', '031', 8);
var binary = bmath.subtract('11001101', '10101110', 2);
var float  = bmath.subtract(4.3, 3.2);
var number = bmath.subtract(45, 21);

divide(x, y, base)

Divides two numbers and returns the result. Takes an optional base parameter. Defaults to base 10.

var hexNum = bmath.divide('3e2a', '1e1d', 16);
var octNum = bmath.divide('363', '031', 8);
var binary = bmath.divide('11001101', '10101110', 2);
var float  = bmath.divide(4.3, 3.2);
var number = bmath.divide(45, 21);

multiply(x, y, base)

Multiplies two numbers and returns the result. Takes an optional base parameter. Defaults to base 10.

var hexNum = bmath.multiply('3e2a', '1e1d', 16);
var octNum = bmath.multiply('363', '031', 8);
var binary = bmath.multiply('11001101', '10101110', 2);
var float  = bmath.multiply(4.3, 3.2);
var number = bmath.multiply(45, 21);

sqrt(x, y, base)

Returns the square root of a number. If an integer, returns the value as a float. Takes an optional number base parameter. Defaults to base 10.

var hexNum = bmath.sqrt('3e2a', 16);
var octNum = bmath.sqrt('363',8);
var binary = bmath.sqrt('11001101', 2);
var float  = bmath.sqrt(4.3);
var number = bmath.sqrt(45);

pow(x, y, base)

Returns the power of two numbers. X is base number and Y is the exponent. The exponent is a real number in base 10 (for example, 2 or 2.13). Takes an optional number base parameter. Defaults to base 10.

var hexNum = bmath.pow('3e2a', 3, 16);
var octNum = bmath.pow('363', 2, 8);
var binary = bmath.pow('11001101', 3, 2);
var float  = bmath.pow(4.3, 2);
var number = bmath.pow(2, 8);

Infinity, MAX_SAFE_INTEGER, and MIN_SAFE_INTEGER

MAX_SAFE_INTEGER

base-math performs a check to see if either of the parameters or the product of the parameters exceeds the MAX_SAFE_INTEGER. If so, a message is written to the console.log.

MIN_SAFE_INTEGER

base-math performs a check to see if either of the parameters or the product of the parameters is less than the MIN_SAFE_INTEGER. If so, a message is written to the console.log.

Infinity

If either of the parameters or the product of the parameters exceeds the MAX_VALUE base-math returns 'Infinity'
