Decimal numbers for Clio (and JavaScript)

The goal of the project is to make an accurate yet fast Decimal number implementation for Clio and JS.

How does it work?

Any rational number can be written as a fraction. This library makes use of this fact to save any number using a combination of a numerator and a denominator.

Decimal Object

Accepts strings, numbers or an object as input. If object passed, it must include a numerator and a denominator.

Methods

Currently these methods are implemented. If you want some extra functionality feel free to send a pull request. Some of the functions aren't optimized, any help with these functions is much appreciated.

Basic math:

• add
• sub
• mul
• div

Comparison:

• eq
• lt
• gt
• lte
• gte

Power:

• pow (integer pow)
• tpow (decimal pow using ln and taylor series: needs optimization)

Other math functions:

• floor
• abs
• ln (natural log using area hyperbolic tangent function: needs optimization)

Utilities:

• toBigInt
• toNumber (unsafe)
• toString
