##DigitArray
The DigitArray library is designed to encode and decode numbers in arbirtary bases.
###Example
var decimalValue = new DigitArray(10, [1, 3, 3, 7]);
var binaryValue = decimalValue.toBase(2);
var hexValue = decimalValue.toBase(16);
var encodedDecimalValue = decimalValue.encode('0123456789');
// "1337"
var encodedBinaryValue = binaryValue.encode('01');
// "10100111001"
var encodedHexValue = hexValue.encode('0123456789abcdef');
// "539"
DigitArray.decode(encodedDecimalValue, 10, '0123456789').toNumber();
// 1337
DigitArray.decode(encodedBinaryValue, 2, '01').toNumber();
// 1337
DigitArray.decode(encodedHexValue, 16, '0123456789abcdef').toNumber();
// 1337
###Dev setup
Requirements:
Install dependencies:
npm install -g gulp
npm install
Build library:
Modify the source files in the src
directory, then run gulp to build DigitArray.js
and DigitArray.min.js
in the root directory.
