Getting started

SafeMaths provides utility function to carry out arithmetic operations such as multiplication, addition and subtraction

// addition
console.log(0.1 + 0.2) // 0.30000000000000004
console.log(safeAdd(0.1,0.2)) // 0.3 ✅

// subtraction
console.log(0.3 - 0.1) // 0.19999999999999998
console.log(safeSubtract(0.3,0.1)) // 0.2 ✅

// multiplication
console.log(0.1 * 0.4) // 0.04000000000000001
console.log(safeSubtract(0.1,0.4)) // 0.04 ✅

console.log(safeAdd(0.7,0.2)) // 0.5 ✅

safeMultiply

Takes two numbers and 'safely' multiplies them.

Example

import { safeMultiply } from "safe-mts";

console.log(0.1 * 0.7) // 0.06999999999999999
console.log(safeMultiply(0.1,0.7)) // 0.07 ✅

decimalCount

Returns the number of decimal places of a number. i.e 1 if 1dp, 2 if 2dp and so on.

Example

import { decimalCount } from "safe-mts";

console.log(decimalCount(0.1)) // 1 
console.log(decimalCount(0.01)) // 2
console.log(decimalCount(0.001)) // 3 
console.log(decimalCount(0.0001)) // 4
