Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Description

string-math is a module (function) that computes the [Number] result from the [String] arithmetical formula.

  • It does not use eval()
  • It uses regular expressions to parse [String] formulas "2+2" into [Number] formulas 2+2. Then it is performed as the common JavaScript arithmetic operation.
"2 + 2"  //4
"3*(5-2)"  //9
" 2.5  *   2.5  /   .1" //62.5
"3.5+5*(-4-(3/(3+1)-12*3-.2*22)-16/4*12-5/(2)+3.5+2.5*(1.5-2*7))-16" //-225.5
".25e+2*10" //250
  • Any bugs found? Give me to know on GitHub
  • If you need to perform arithmetic formulas with the floating point precision (avoid 0.30000000000000004 return values) or to perform arithmetic formulas with big numbers, check out exact-math package. It implements string-math features as the exactMath.formula method.

Installation

with NodeJS / bundlers

npm install string-math

var stringMath = require('string-math');

stringMath("--1") //1
stringMath("2/-2") //-1
stringMath("-5-5") //-10

with Browser

1. Add string-math.js to the HTML file.
<head>
  <script src="./string-math.js"></script>
</head>

Any other dependencies are needed.

2. Use stringMath global Function from string-math.js.
var result = stringMath("2+2");

> cd string-math
> npm install
> npm test

Usage

stringMath(expression[,callback])

expression [String]
  • the arithmetical formula
  • it can contain:
    • [0-9] digits
    • 1.5, 0.5 or .5 decimal fractions
    • -5, -.4, -5.55 negative values
    • 2e-2, .25e+12, -3e-10 exponential notation values
    • * multiplication sign
    • / division sign
    • + plus sign
    • - subtraction sign
    • ( and ) parentheses
callback [Function] (optional) (synchronous)
  • by default, if the callback argument is omitted and the expression is of incorrect type or is invalid, the Error object is thrown. If the callback is defined, the Error object is passed through the callback function, rather than being thrown.
  • if the [Function] callback argument is defined, it is called with the following arguments:
    • [0] error
      It equals null, if the expression is of correct type and is valid math formula.
      Otherwise it equals Error object.
    • [1] result
      It equals null if the expression is of incorrect type or if the math formula is invalid.
      Otherwise it equals [Number] result.

Return

If the math formula is of correct type and is valid, it returns the [Number] result. Otherwise it returns null.

Tips

  • the arithmetic order of operations is respected:
    • parentheses first
    • then division and multiplication (from left to right)
    • then addition and subtraction (from left to right)
  • the multiplication sign can be omitted before parentheses; 4(2+1); equals to 4*(2+1)
  • the following signs combinations are allowed:
    • 2 * -2; equals to 2 * (-2)
    • 2 / -2; equals to 2 / (-2)
    • +2 + 2; equals to 2 + 2
    • 2 + +2; equals to 2 + 2
    • -2 - -2 equals to -2 + 2
    • -2 - +2 equals to -2 - 2
    • -2 + -2 equals to -2 - 2
  • the (multi)spaces between values, signs and parentheses are allowed:
    • 2 + 2
    • 2 + ( -2 - -2)
    • 2 + (+2 + +4 / -1)
    • -.1 - -5
    • 2 + 3e-5
    • .25e+5 * -.25e-5
  • the spaces are not allowed between:
    • negative sign and value: -2 - - 2
    • period and digit in decimal fraction: 5 + . 3
    • exponential notation formula: .2 e-5, 2e - 5, 3e +10
