fixed-point

🗿 fixed-point

Fixed point arithmetic with BigInt. Minimalistic library that can be used for money or scientific calculations with known precision.

Examples

Install package npm install fixed-point or include minified script on page.

import { FixedPoint } from 'fixed-point';

// Simple example: 0.3 - 0.2 = 0.1
console.log(new FixedPoint(0.3).sub(0.2).toString());

// Price with 30% discount, rounding benefiting the customer
FixedPoint.setRounding('floor');
console.log(new FixedPoint('99.95').mul(0.70).toFixed())

// Bitcoin fee with banker rounding: 1.0 BTC - 0.00005 BTC = 0.99995000 BTC  
FixedPoint.setRounding('even');
FixedPoint.setPrecision(8);
console.log(new FixedPoint('1').sub('0.00005').toFixed() + ' BTC');

// Rounding mode for fast calculations
FixedPoint.setRounding('trunc');
FixedPoint.setPrecision(15);
console.log(new FixedPoint('3.14159265358979').mul('2'));

API

• new FixedPoint(string) - constructor from String
• new FixedPoint(number) - constructor from Number
• a.toString() - conversion to String
• a.toFixed() - conversion to String
• FixedPoint.setPrecision(number) - set precision (2 decimal places is default)
• FixedPoint.setRounding(string) - set rounding ('trunc'|'floor'|'ceil'|'even'), 'even' is default
• a.add(b) - addition (exact)
• a.sub(b) - subtraction (exact)
• a.mul(b) - multiplication (rounded)
• a.div(b) - division (rounded)
• a.eq(b) - a == b
• a.ne(b) - a != b
• a.gt(b) - a > b
• a.ge(b) - a >= b
• a.lt(b) - a < b
• a.le(b) - a <= b

Status: alpha.

2do

• constructors, toString/toFixed
• operations: +|-|*|/
• 4 rounding modes from IEEE 754-1985: RN, RZ, RU, RD
• testing rounding modes with table
• get feedback
• add benchmark
• add precision conversion: x.xxxxxxxx BTC in xx.xx $
• add build with BigInt polyfill
