@vekexasia/bigint-math: BigInt Math utils

This project is part of the bigint-swissknife project. It aims to provide some missing utilities in the Math native class.

For example there is no Math.max for BigInt, this library provides a solution for that and other missing utilities.

Why?

Tired of reinventing the wheel every time I decided to create a library that provides the missing math utilities for BigInt.

The library allows to perform operations not just on bigint but also on everything that is BigIntable

export type BigIntable = bigint | number | string

Documentation

You can find typedoc documentation here.

Installation

Add the library to your project:

npm install @vekexasia/bigint-math
Copy

or

yarn add @vekexasia/bigint-math
Copy

Usage

You can find all the available methods in the typedoc documentation. But here a list of some of the most missing ones:

import {BigIntMath} from '@vekexasia/bigint-math';

BigIntMath.max(1n, 2n, 3n, 4n, 5n); // 5n
BigIntMath.min(1n, 2n, 3n, 4n, 5n); // 1n
BigIntMath.abs(-1n); // 1n
BigIntMath.ceilDivide(5n, 4n); // 2n (5/4 = 1.25 => 2)
BigIntMath.divide(5n, 4n); // 1n (5/4 = 1.25)
BigIntMath.roundDivide(5n, 4n); // 1n (5/4 = 1.25 => 1)
BigIntMath.rand(2000000000000000000n); // random bigint between 0n and 2000000000000000000n

TypeScript

The library is entirely written in TypeScript and comes with its own type definitions.

a Note about rand

The rand method uses the crypto module to generate a random number. On browser it uses window.crypto and on node it uses crypto from the crypto module.
