Deci-mal

Simple Decimal type for Javascript.

Simple Decimal type which allows for:

• conversion from numbers;
• conversion from strings;
• specification of precision;
• changing of precision;
• addition of Decimals;
• subtraction of Decimals;
• multiplication of Decimals;
• division of Decimals.

When doing add, sub, mult, div-operators with two Decimals, the result will have the precision of the source Decimal with the highest precision.

Deci-mal uses an integer for internal storage.

Example usage

var decimal = require('./');
var Decimal = decimal.decimal;
 
// conversion from numbers
var a = decimal.fromNumber(20, 2); // 20.00
var b = decimal.fromNumber(40.1, 4); // 40.1000
 
// conversion from strings
var c = decimal.fromString('60.60001', 2); // 60.60
 
// specification of precision
var d = new Decimal(1); // 0.0
 
// changing of precision
b.newPrecision(2).toString(); // 40.10
 
// addition
a.add(b).toString(); // 60.1000
 
// subtraction
a.sub(b).toString(); // -20.1000
 
// multiplication
a.mult(b).toString(); // 802.0000
 
// division
a.div(b).toString(); // 0.4988
