Installation

npm install @stdlib/constants-float64-max-safe-nth-lucas

Usage

var FLOAT64_MAX_SAFE_NTH_LUCAS = require( '@stdlib/constants-float64-max-safe-nth-lucas' );

FLOAT64_MAX_SAFE_NTH_LUCAS

The maximum safe nth Lucas number when stored in double-precision floating-point format.

var bool = ( FLOAT64_MAX_SAFE_NTH_LUCAS === 76 );
// returns true

Examples

var FLOAT64_MAX_SAFE_NTH_LUCAS = require( '@stdlib/constants-float64-max-safe-nth-lucas' );

var v;
var i;

function lucas( n ) {

    var b;
    var c;
    var i;

    a = 2;
    if ( n === 0 ) {
        return a;
    }
    b = 1;
    for ( i = 2; i <= n; i++ ) {
        c = a + b;
        a = b;
        b = c;
    }
    return b;
}

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    v = lucas( i );
    if ( i > FLOAT64_MAX_SAFE_NTH_LUCAS ) {
        console.log( 'Unsafe: %d', v );
    } else {
