# big.js
|
||
|
|
||
|
**A small, fast JavaScript library for arbitrary-precision decimal arithmetic.**
|
||
|
|
||
|
The little sister to [bignumber.js](https://github.com/MikeMcl/bignumber.js/) and [decimal.js](https://github.com/MikeMcl/decimal.js/). See [here](https://github.com/MikeMcl/big.js/wiki) for some notes on the difference between them.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Features
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Faster, smaller and easier-to-use than JavaScript versions of Java's BigDecimal
|
||
|
- Only 5.9 KB minified and 2.7 KB gzipped
|
||
|
- Simple API
|
||
|
- Replicates the `toExponential`, `toFixed` and `toPrecision` methods of JavaScript's Number type
|
||
|
- Includes a `sqrt` method
|
||
|
- Stores values in an accessible decimal floating point format
|
||
|
- No dependencies
|
||
|
- Comprehensive [documentation](http://mikemcl.github.io/big.js/) and test set
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Set up
|
||
|
|
||
|
The library is the single JavaScript file *big.js* (or *big.min.js*, which is *big.js* minified).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Browser:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```html
|
||
|
<script src='path/to/big.js'></script>
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
[Node.js](http://nodejs.org):
|
||
|
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
$ npm install big.js
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
const Big = require('big.js');
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
ES6 module:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
import Big from 'big.mjs';
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
## Use
|
||
|
|
||
|
*In all examples below, `var`, semicolons and `toString` calls are not shown. If a commented-out value is in quotes it means `toString` has been called on the preceding expression.*
|
||
|
|
||
|
The library exports a single function, `Big`, the constructor of Big number instances.
|
||
|
It accepts a value of type number, string or Big number object.
|
||
|
|
||
|
x = new Big(123.4567)
|
||
|
y = Big('123456.7e-3') // 'new' is optional
|
||
|
z = new Big(x)
|
||
|
x.eq(y) && x.eq(z) && y.eq(z) // true
|
||
|
|
||
|
A Big number is immutable in the sense that it is not changed by its methods.
|
||
|
|
||
|
0.3 - 0.1 // 0.19999999999999998
|
||
|
x = new Big(0.3)
|
||
|
x.minus(0.1) // "0.2"
|
||
|
x // "0.3"
|
||
|
|
||
|
The methods that return a Big number can be chained.
|
||
|
|
||
|
x.div(y).plus(z).times(9).minus('1.234567801234567e+8').plus(976.54321).div('2598.11772')
|
||
|
x.sqrt().div(y).pow(3).gt(y.mod(z)) // true
|
||
|
|
||
|
Like JavaScript's Number type, there are `toExponential`, `toFixed` and `toPrecision` methods.
|
||
|
|
||
|
x = new Big(255.5)
|
||
|
x.toExponential(5) // "2.55500e+2"
|
||
|
x.toFixed(5) // "255.50000"
|
||
|
x.toPrecision(5) // "255.50"
|
||
|
|
||
|
The arithmetic methods always return the exact result except `div`, `sqrt` and `pow`
|
||
|
(with negative exponent), as these methods involve division.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The maximum number of decimal places and the rounding mode used to round the results of these methods is determined by the value of the `DP` and `RM` properties of the `Big` number constructor.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Big.DP = 10
|
||
|
Big.RM = 1
|
||
|
|
||
|
x = new Big(2);
|
||
|
y = new Big(3);
|
||
|
z = x.div(y) // "0.6666666667"
|
||
|
z.sqrt() // "0.8164965809"
|
||
|
z.pow(-3) // "3.3749999995"
|
||
|
z.times(z) // "0.44444444448888888889"
|
||
|
z.times(z).round(10) // "0.4444444445"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Multiple Big number constructors can be created, each with an independent configuration.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The value of a Big number is stored in a decimal floating point format in terms of a coefficient, exponent and sign.
|
||
|
|
||
|
x = new Big(-123.456);
|
||
|
x.c // [1,2,3,4,5,6] coefficient (i.e. significand)
|
||
|
x.e // 2 exponent
|
||
|
x.s // -1 sign
|
||
|
|
||
|
For further information see the [API](http://mikemcl.github.io/big.js/) reference from the *doc* folder.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Test
|
||
|
|
||
|
The *test* directory contains the test scripts for each Big number method.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The tests can be run with Node.js or a browser.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To run all the tests
|
||
|
|
||
|
$ npm test
|
||
|
|
||
|
To test a single method
|
||
|
|
||
|
$ node test/toFixed
|
||
|
|
||
|
For the browser, see *single-test.html* and *every-test.html* in the *test/browser* directory.
|
||
|
|
||
|
*big-vs-number.html* is a simple application that enables some of the methods of big.js to be compared with those of JavaScript's Number type.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Performance
|
||
|
|
||
|
The *perf* directory contains two legacy applications and a *lib* directory containing the BigDecimal libraries used by both.
|
||
|
|
||
|
*big-vs-bigdecimal.html* tests the performance of big.js against the JavaScript translations of two versions of BigDecimal, its use should be more or less self-explanatory.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* [GWT: java.math.BigDecimal](https://github.com/iriscouch/bigdecimal.js)
|
||
|
* [ICU4J: com.ibm.icu.math.BigDecimal](https://github.com/dtrebbien/BigDecimal.js)
|
||
|
|
||
|
The BigDecimal in the npm registry is the GWT version. It has some bugs, see the Node.js script *perf/lib/bigdecimal_GWT/bugs.js* for examples of flaws in its *remainder*, *divide* and *compareTo* methods.
|
||
|
|
||
|
*bigtime.js* is a Node.js command-line application which tests the performance of big.js against the GWT version of
|
||
|
BigDecimal from the npm registry.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For example, to compare the time taken by the big.js `plus` method and the BigDecimal `add` method
|
||
|
|
||
|
$ node bigtime plus 10000 40
|
||
|
|
||
|
This will time 10000 calls to each, using operands of up to 40 random digits and will check that the results match.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For help
|
||
|
|
||
|
$ node bigtime -h
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Build
|
||
|
|
||
|
If [uglify-js](https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2) is installed globally
|
||
|
|
||
|
$ npm install uglify-js -g
|
||
|
|
||
|
then
|
||
|
|
||
|
$ npm run build
|
||
|
|
||
|
will create *big.min.js*.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## TypeScript
|
||
|
|
||
|
The [DefinitelyTyped](https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped) project has a Typescript type definitions file for big.js.
|
||
|
|
||
|
$ npm install @types/big.js
|
||
|
|
||
|
Any questions about the TypeScript type definitions file should be addressed to the DefinitelyTyped project.
