IntN.js is a library for representing and working with arbitrary byte size two's complement integers in JavaScript,
both signed and unsigned. Its purpose is to provide a robust and convenient way to work with data types that are not
available in JavaScript natively, like 64 bit long
s.
Usage
The module exports a function that creates singleton classes representing integers of the specified size in bits
(positive multiple of 8). It is compatible with CommonJS and AMD loaders and is exposed globally as dcodeIO.IntN
if
neither is available.
var IntN = ; var Int8 = Int16 = Int24 = Int32 = ... Int64 = ...
Important: The following API documentation references the usage of the classes created by the exported function.
API
Instances are immutable and all methods that return another instance are chainable. Instance values are easily interchangeable using their bytes property or the fromInts and toInts methods.

Aliases
Most of the methods have a couple of aliases to maintain compatibility with other libraries, to make it more convenient to use or simply to keep your code small:
General utility:
- isIntN: isInt[NBITS] with [NBITS] being the number of bits provided to IntN (e.g. 32)
Arithmetic evaluation:
- compare: comp
- equals: eq, equal, ==
- notEquals: ne, notEqual, !=
- lessThan: lt, less, <
- lessThanEqual: lte, lessThanOrEqual, <=
- greaterThan: gt, greater, >
- greaterThanEqual: gte, greaterThanOrEqual, >=
Bitwise operations:
- not: ~
- and: &
- or: |
- xor: ^
- shiftLeft: lsh, leftShift, <<
- shiftRight: rsh, rightShift, >>
- shiftRightUnsigned: rshu, rightShiftUnsigned, >>>
Arithmetic operations:
- add: plus, +
- negate: neg, !
- subtract: sub, minus, -
- absolute: abs, ||
- multiply: mult, *
- divide: div, /
- modulo: mod, %
If you like it rather formal:
var a = Int32 b = Int32; var c = a'+'b'/'3;
