@fav/arith.add

@fav/arith.add

Calculates an accurate sum of two numbers.

"fav" is an abbreviation of "favorite" and also the acronym of "for all versions". This package is intended to support all Node.js versions and many browsers as possible. At least, this package supports Node.js >= v0.10 and major Web browsers: Chrome, Firefox, IE11, Edge, Vivaldi and Safari.

Install

To install from npm:

$ npm install --save @fav/arith.number @fav/arith.add

NOTE: npm < 2.7.0 does not support scoped package, but old version Node.js supports it. So when you use such older npm, you should download this package from github.com, and move it in node_modules/@fav/arith.add/ directory manually.

Usage

For Node.js:

var ArithNumber = require('@fav/arith.number');
var add = require('@fav/arith.add');

var num1 = ArithNumber.of(1.23);
// => { numerator: 123, denominator: 1, exponent: -2 }

var num2 = ArithNumber.of('4.56');
// => { numerator: 456, denominator: 1, exponent: -2 }

1.23 + 4.56;
// => 5.789999999999999

var num3 = add(num1, num2);
// => { numerator: 579, denominator: 1, exponent: -2 }
num3.toApproximateString(); // => '5.79'

var num4 = num1.add(num2);
// => { numerator: 579, denominator: 1, exponent: -2 }
num4.toApproximateString();
// => '5.79'

For Web browsers:

<script src="fav.arith.number.min.js"></script>
<script src="fav.arith.add.min.js"></script>
<script>
var ArithNumber = fav.arith.number;
var add = fav.arith.add;

var num1 = ArithNumber.of(1.23);
// => { numerator: 123, denominator: 1, exponent: -2 }

var num2 = ArithNumber.of('4.56');
// => { numerator: 456, denominator: 1, exponent: -2 }

1.23 + 4.56;
// => 5.789999999999999

var num3 = add(num1, num2);
// => { numerator: 579, denominator: 1, exponent: -2 }
num3.toApproximateString();
// => '5.79'

var num4 = num1.add(num2);
// => { numerator: 579, denominator: 1, exponent: -2 }
num4.toApproximateString();
// => '5.79'
</script>

API

add(arithNum1, arithNum2) : ArithNumber

Adds arithNum1 and arithNum2 and create a new ArithNumber object which has the sum of these two numbers.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
arithNum1	ArithNumber	An ArithNumber object to be added.
arithNum2	ArithNumber	An ArithNumber object to be added.

Returns:

A new ArithNumber object having the sum of two numbers.

Type: ArithNumber

ArithNumber.prototype.add(num) : ArithNumber

This package attaches add function to ArithNumber's prototype as its method.

This method adds a parameter num of which is either a number, a string or an ArithNumber object to the value of this ArithNumber object itself, and returns a new ArithNumber object having this added value.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
num	number | string | ArithNumber	A number, a string, or an ArithNumber to be added.

Returns:

A new ArithNumber object having the sum of two numbers.

Type: ArithNumber
