<h1>decimal<span id='js'>.js</span></h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>An arbitrary-precision Decimal type for JavaScript.</p>

<p><a href='https://github.com/MikeMcl/decimal.js'>Hosted on GitHub</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>API</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
See the <a href='https://github.com/MikeMcl/decimal.js'>README</a> on GitHub for a quick-start
|
|
introduction.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In all examples below, <code>var</code> and semicolons are not shown, and if a commented-out
|
|
value is in quotes it means <code>toString</code> has been called on the preceding expression.
|
|
</p><br />
|
|
<p>
|
|
When the library is loaded, it defines a single function object,
|
|
<a href='#decimal'><code>Decimal</code></a>, the constructor of Decimal numbers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Multiple Decimal constructors can be created, each with their own independent configuration,
|
|
e.g. precision and range, which applies to all Decimal numbers created from it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A new Decimal constructor is created by calling the
|
|
<code><a href='#Dconstr'>constructor</a></code> method of an already existing Decimal
|
|
constructor - when the library is loaded this will be
|
|
<a href='#decimal'><code>Decimal</code></a>.
|
|
</p>

|

Legitimate values include ±<code>0</code>, ±<code>Infinity</code> and
|
|
<code>NaN</code>.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Values of type <em>number</em> with more than 15 significant digits are considered invalid
|
|
(if <a href='#errors'><code>errors</code></a> is true) as calling
|
|
<code><a href='#toS'>toString</a></code> or <code><a href='#valueOf'>valueOf</a></code> on
|
|
such numbers may not result in the intended value.
|
|
<pre>console.log( 823456789123456.3 ); // 823456789123456.2</pre>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
There is no limit to the number of digits of a value of type <em>string</em> (other than
|
|
that of JavaScript's maximum array size).
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
See <a href='#minE'>minE</a> and <a href='#maxE'>maxE</a> for the allowable range of a
|
|
Decimal in terms of exponent limits.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Decimal string values may be in exponential, as well as normal (fixed-point) notation.
|
|
Non-decimal values must be in normal notation.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
String values in hexadecimal literal form, e.g. <code>'0xff'</code>, are invalid, and string
|
|
values in octal literal form will be interpreted as decimals, e.g. <code>'011'</code> is
|
|
interpreted as 11, not 9.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dd>Values in any base may have fraction digits.</dd>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
For bases from 10 to 36, lower and/or upper case letters can be used to represent values
|
|
from 10 to 35.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
For bases above 36, <code>a-z</code> represents values from 10 to 35, <code>A-Z</code> from
|
|
36 to 61, and <code>$</code> and <code>_</code> represent 62 and 63 respectively.

<p>Returns a new instance of a Decimal object.</p>

If a base is specified, <code>value</code> is rounded according to the current

|
<a href='#rounding'><code>rounding</code></a> settings.

<p>Configures the 'global' settings for this particular Decimal constructor.</p>

<p>
|

The configuration object, <code>object</code>, can contain some or all of the properties
|
|
described in detail at <a href="#constructor-properties">Properties</a> and shown in the
|
|
example below.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The values of the configuration object properties are checked for validity and then stored as
|
|
equivalently-named properties of this Decimal constructor.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If the value to be assigned to any of the properties is <code>null</code> or undefined
|
|
it is ignored.<br />See <a href='#Errors'>Errors</a> for the treatment of invalid values.
|

</p>
|

<p>
|

The properties of a Decimal constructor can also be set by direct assignment, but that will
|
|
obviously by-pass the validity checking that this method performs.

<p>
|
|
It is not inefficient in terms of memory usage to use multiple Decimal constructors as
|
|
functions are shared between them.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<code>constructor</code> is a factory method so it is not necessary or desirable to use

<code>new</code> but it will do no harm.

<h3>INSTANCE</h3>
|
|
|
|
<h4 id="prototype-methods">Methods</h4>
|
|
<p>The methods inherited by a Decimal instance from its constructor's prototype object.</p>
|
|
<p>A Decimal is immutable in the sense that it is not changed by its methods.</p>
|
|
<p>Methods that return a Decimal can be chained:</p>
|
|
<pre>x = new Decimal(2).times('999.999999999999999').dividedBy(4).ceil()</pre>
|
|
<p>Methods do not round their arguments before execution.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The treatment of ±<code>0</code>, ±<code>Infinity</code> and <code>NaN</code>
|
|
is consistent with how JavaScript treats these values.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Some method names have a shorter alias. (Internally, the library always uses the shorter method
|
|
names.)

The return value will be correctly rounded, i.e. rounded as if the result was first calculated
|
|
to an infinite number of correct digits before rounding. (The mathematical result of the
|
|
natural logarithm function is non-terminating, unless its argument is <code>1</code>).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Internally, this method is dependent on a constant whose value is the natural logarithm of
|
|
<code>10</code>. This <code>LN10</code> variable in the source code currently has a precision
|
|
of <code>1025</code> digits, meaning that this method can accurately calculate up to
|
|
<code>1000</code> digits.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If more than <code>1000</code> digits is required then the precision of <code>LN10</code>
|
|
will need to be increased to <code>25</code> digits more than is required - though, as the
|
|
time-taken by this method increases exponentially with increasing digits, it is unlikely to be
|
|
viable to calculate over <code>1000</code> digits anyway.

</p>

<p>
|
|
The performance of this method degrades exponentially with increasing digits. For
|
|
non-integer exponents in particular, even when only quite a small number of significant
|
|
digits is required, the performance of this method may not be adequate.

<p><i>Is the pow function guaranteed to be correctly rounded?</i></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The return value will <i>almost always</i> be correctly rounded, i.e. rounded as if the result
|
|
was first calculated to an infinite number of correct digits before rounding. If a result is
|
|
incorrectly rounded the maximum error will be <code>1</code> <i>ulp</i> (unit in the last
|
|
place).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For non-integer and larger exponents this method uses the formula</p>
|
|
<blockquote><code>x<sup>y</sup> = exp(y*ln(x))</code></blockquote>
|
|
<p>
|
|
As the mathematical return values of the <code>exp</code> and <code>ln</code> functions are
|
|
both non-terminating (excluding arguments of <code>0</code> or <code>1</code>), the Decimal
|
|
return values of the functions as implemented by this library will be rounded approximations,
|
|
which means that there can be no guarantee of correct rounding when they are combined in the
|
|
above formula.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The return value may, depending on the rounding mode, be incorrectly rounded only if the first
|
|
<code>15</code> rounding digits are <code>15</code> zeros (and there are non-zero digits
|
|
following at some point) or <code>15</code> nines (the first rounding digit may also be
|
|
<code>5</code> or <code>4</code> respectively).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Therefore, assuming the first <code>15</code> rounding digits are each equally likely to be
|
|
any digit, <code>0-9</code>, the probability of an incorrectly rounded result is less than
|
|
<code>1</code> in <code>250,000,000,000,000</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>

|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
Decimal.config({ precision: 20, rounding: 1 })
|

The value of any of the three properties may also be <code>null</code>.

The value of a Decimal is stored in a normalised decimal floating point
|
|
format which corresponds to the value's <code><a href='#toE'>toExponential</a></code> form,
|
|
with the decimal point to be positioned after the most significant
|
|
(left-most) digit of the coefficient.
|

</p>
|

<p>
|

Note that, as with JavaScript numbers, the original exponent and

fractional trailing zeros are not preserved.

A Decimal is mutable in the sense that the value of its properties can
|
|
be changed.<br />
|
|
For example, to rapidly shift a value by a power of 10:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
x = new Decimal('1234.000') // '1234'
|
|
x.toExponential() // '1.234e+3'
|
|
x.c // '1,2,3,4'
|
|
x.e // 3
|
|
|
|
x.e = -5
|
|
x // '0.00001234'</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If changing the coefficient array directly, which is not recommended, be
|
|
careful to avoid leading or trailing zeros (unless zero itself is being
|
|
represented).

<h6>Why are trailing fractional zeros removed from Decimals?</h6>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Some arbitrary-precision libraries retain trailing fractional zeros as they can indicate the
|
|
precision of a value. This can be useful but the results of arithmetic operations can be
|
|
misleading.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
x = new BigDecimal("1.0")
|
|
y = new BigDecimal("1.1000")
|
|
z = x.add(y) // 2.1000
|
|
|
|
x = new BigDecimal("1.20")
|
|
y = new BigDecimal("3.45000")
|
|
z = x.multiply(y) // 4.1400000</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To specify the precision of a value is to specify that the value lies
|
|
within a certain range.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the first example, <code>x</code> has a value of <code>1.0</code>. The trailing zero shows
|
|
the precision of the value, implying that it is in the range <code>0.95</code> to
|
|
<code>1.05</code>. Similarly, the precision indicated by the trailing zeros of <code>y</code>
|
|
indicates that the value is in the range <code>1.09995</code> to <code>1.10005</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If we add the two lowest values in the ranges we have, <code>0.95 + 1.09995 = 2.04995</code>,
|
|
and if we add the two highest values we have, <code>1.05 + 1.10005 = 2.15005</code>, so the
|
|
range of the result of the addition implied by the precision of its operands is
|
|
<code>2.04995</code> to <code>2.15005</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The result given by BigDecimal of <code>2.1000</code> however, indicates that the value is in
|
|
the range <code>2.09995</code> to <code>2.10005</code> and therefore the precision implied by
|
|
its trailing zeros may be misleading.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the second example, the true range is <code>4.122744</code> to <code>4.157256</code> yet
|
|
the BigDecimal answer of <code>4.1400000</code> indicates a range of <code>4.13999995</code>
|
|
to <code>4.14000005</code>. Again, the precision implied by the trailing zeros may be
|
|
misleading.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This library, like binary floating point and most calculators, does not retain trailing
|
|
fractional zeros. Instead, the <code>toExponential</code>, <code>toFixed</code> and
|
|
<code>toPrecision</code> methods enable trailing zeros to be added if and when required.<br />
