About stdlib...
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
BigInt factory.
import BigInt from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/bigint-ctor@deno/mod.js';Returns a BigInt primitive.
var v = BigInt( '1' );
// returns <bigint>TODO: document properties/methods
- Unlike conventional constructors, the function does not support the
newkeyword. - The function is only supported in environments which support
BigInt. In non-supporting environments, the value isundefined.
import hasBigIntSupport from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/assert-has-bigint-support@deno/mod.js';
import BigInt from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/bigint-ctor@deno/mod.js';
var v;
if ( hasBigIntSupport() ) {
v = BigInt( '1' );
// Print the value type:
console.log( typeof v );
// => 'bigint'
// Serialize the BigInt as a string:
console.log( v.toString() );
// => '1'
} else {
console.log( 'Environment does not support BigInts.' );
}This package is part of stdlib, a standard library with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
