Package Exports

compute-lcm

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (compute-lcm) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Least Common Multiple

Computes the least common multiple (lcm).

Note: the lcm is also known as the lowest common multiple or smallest common multiple and finds common use in calculating the lowest common denominator (lcd).

Installation

$ npm install compute-lcm

For use in the browser, use browserify.

Usage

var lcm = require( 'compute-lcm' );

lcm( a, b[, c,...,n] )

Computes the least common multiple (lcm) of two or more integers.

var val = lcm( 21, 6 );
// returns 42

var val = lcm( 21, 6, 126 );
// returns 126

lcm( arr[, clbk] )

Computes the least common multiple (lcm) of two or more integers.

var val = lcm( [21, 6] );
// returns 42

var val = lcm( [21, 6, 126] );
// returns 126

For object arrays, provide an accessor function for accessing array values.

var data = [
    ['beep', 4],
    ['boop', 8],
    ['bap', 12],
    ['baz', 16]
];

function getValue( d, i ) {
    return d[ 1 ];
}

var arr = lcm( arr, getValue );
// returns 48

Notes

If provided a single integer argument or an array with a length less than 2, the function returns null.

Examples

var lcm = require( 'compute-lcm' );

// Compute the lcm of random tuples...
var x, y, z, arr, val;
for ( var i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    x = Math.round( Math.random()*50 );
    y = Math.round( Math.random()*50 );
    z = Math.round( Math.random()*50 );
    arr = [ x, y, z ];
    val = lcm( arr );
    console.log( arr, val );
}

To run the example code from the top-level application directory,

$ node ./examples/index.js

Tests

Unit

Unit tests use the Mocha test framework with Chai assertions. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test

All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.

Test Coverage

This repository uses Istanbul as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test-cov

Istanbul creates a ./reports/coverage directory. To access an HTML version of the report,

$ make view-cov
