uNumber

Unsigned integers (numbers) in JavaScript

Providing more type safety to JavaScript

Functions

The package contains several useful functions:

• uNumber: Used for testing to make sure any number is unsigned
• uNumber8: Used for testing to make sure any 8-bit number is unsigned
• uNumber16: Used for testing to make sure any 16-bit number is unsigned
• uNumber32: Used for testing to make sure any 32-bit number is unsigned
• uNumber53: Used for testing to make sure any 53-bit number is unsigned

Syntax

One of the above functions can easily be called with the following:

uNumber(x)

The functions also provide a way to return the original value if that is desirable:

uNumber(x, true)

Examples/Usage

for (let i = 100; i > 1; i--) {
  uNumber(i) // Make sure the value of `i` is unsigned
  
  console.log(i)
}

const x = 2**16

uNumber8(x) // Will throw an error because `2^16` is larger than 8-bits
